Understanding ADHD: What is ADHD? Do I have ADHD?

ADHD Certify specialises in unravelling the complexities of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental condition that often surfaces in childhood and persists into adulthood.

Unlike traditional medical conditions diagnosed through blood tests or scanning technologies like MRI machines, ADHD defies such straightforward diagnostic methods. At ADHD Certify, we underscore that an accurate ADHD diagnosis demands the expertise of our specialist clinicians who conduct thorough examinations and evaluations.

Living with ADHD, whether personally or supporting someone with it, presents diverse challenges. The ADHD Certify team is committed to guiding you or your loved one through the process of obtaining an ADHD diagnosis in the UK, ensuring a comprehensive and personalised approach.

Given the diverse and unique symptoms of ADHD in each individual, a specialised assessment is a crucial step for an accurate diagnosis.
