ADHD Treatment: Symptoms & Treatment
The specialist team at our London ADHD clinic will tailor a comprehensive care plan, which may include pharmacologic (consultation with a psychiatrist) and non-pharmacologic (consultation with a psychotherapist) management interventions. Some patients may benefit from a combination of both of these approaches as part of their strategy to manage ADHD.
ADHD Symptoms
About 1 in 3 children with a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can grow out of the condition and not require any ADHD treatment as adults.
However, some people find that ADHD continues into adulthood, which means they have difficulty with entering a more focused mode and always experience their minds as fast moving. This can be especially important with our demanding modern lifestyles.
Sometimes, alongside the inability to focus, people with ADHD also experience impulsivity, hyperactivity or lack of organization skills. ADHD symptoms include:
– Difficulty concentrating or following details
– Not being able to focus when others are speaking
– Poor organisation skills
– General forgetfulness
– Restlessness and fidgeting
– Inability to sit or lie still
– Speaking too loudly or quickly
– General impatience
– Tendency to interrupt
– Irritability at small things
– Impulsivity
– Risk-taking behaviour
How is ADHD diagnosed?
There is no single, simple, definitive test for ADHD. The diagnostic process will usually involve two consultations carried out by the psychiatrist.
s well as talking through patterns of behaviour, looking at school reports and/or collateral information from childhood and completing a specialist diagnostic tool may all play a part in reaching a diagnosis.
At Dementech’s London ADHD clinic, our ADHD specialists can explain how each of these steps are important and how an ADHD diagnosis is made.
ADHD Risk Assessment, Prevention & Treatment
A number of strategies and interventions can help manage ADHD, to enable individuals affected to feel more in control of their behaviour and ability to focus – but it’s important that these are tailored specifically to each individual’s needs. This includes looking at the severity and impact of the condition, as well as the individual’s lifestyle and goals.

While ADHD does not always require medication, medications can help to reduce certain symptoms associated with the condition, such as hyperactivity and difficulty with concentration.

“My family and I experienced one of the hardest times of our lives having to deal with my wife’s deteriorating condition. I would like to personally thank the lovely young lady Zobiaa from Dementech, for showering us with compassion, empathy and genuine care and concern. Her professionalism, high-level customer service and communication, eye for detail, and willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate our needs and make not only my wife, but our whole family, feel as comfortable and supported as possible, is something we will always be grateful for.

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”

“Have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from Dementech and all their staff. From their initial guidance by Shakeela, through to staff conducting the MRI tests and Dr. Lucio D’Anna for his expertise clarity of explanation, compassion and consideration. Special mention to Zobia, who saved the day with her quick thinking that helped my mother-in-law to obtain extended care. Overall a perfect experience. Cannot recommend them enough.”
