ABOUT
ADHD Treatment Centre
The Full Story
ADHD is one of the most common undiagnosed conditions globally. Research has highlighted that many people with ADHD suffer discrimination both, in the school and work setting. Emotional dysregulation and memory problems make life difficult for people with ADHD; symptoms are often interpreted and misdiagnosed as several other mental health conditions. This leads to individuals being prescribed ineffective and inappropriate treatment. With the root cause of their condition remaining undiagnosed and untreated.
Subsequently people with ADHD often never reach their full potential in many aspects of life.
At The ADHD Treatment Centre, all of our clinicians are specialists in ADHD. We understand the difficulties and challenges people with ADHD experience and are aware that the correct treatment can be life-changing. We are passionate about providing our patients with the most effective treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. Our aim is that they to reach their true potential and live fulfilled lives.
Our Clinicians have been trained with CHAAD.org and UKAAN – UK Adult ADHD Network and our assessments are carried out in accordance with the Adult ADHD Network Quality Assurance Standards Framework 2024.
