Specialist Support
Understanding ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder often presents differently in adulthood. While some may struggle with visible restlessness, many adults experience internalised symptoms such as chronic procrastination, difficulty maintaining focus during work, and challenges with emotional regulation. At Ultra Medical Group, we recognise that these difficulties can significantly impact your professional career and personal wellbeing if left unsupported.
Our Testing Process
- • Comprehensive psychiatric interview to explore your history. • Validation of symptoms through standardized UK clinical tools. • Evaluation of how ADHD affects your daily executive functioning. • Collaborative development of a bespoke management plan. Our clinicians provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to help you understand your neurodivergent brain and unlock your potential with the right clinical guidance.
Take the first step toward clarity with a private, GMC-standard assessment tailored to the specific needs of UK professionals and individuals.

The first stage involves a digital screening battery and clinical questionnaires to identify ADHD traits and rule out overlapping conditions. This ensures the comprehensive assessment is appropriate for your specific needs.

- Clinical evidence for workplace adjustments
Our process is designed to be reassuring and thorough, ensuring you have the clarity and support needed for the next chapter of your journey.
Core ADHD Insights
What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. In adults, it often goes unrecognized, manifesting as chronic difficulties with focus, regulation, and executive function rather than the stereotypical physical hyperactivity seen in children. Understanding these insights is the first step toward effective management.
Signs of ADHD in Adults
Attention and Concentration
- Easily distracted by irrelevant sights and sounds.
- Frequent 'zoning out' during conversations or meetings.
- Poor attention to detail leading to careless mistakes.
Hyperactivity and Restlessness
- Internal sense of restlessness or 'on edge'.
- Excessive talking or finding it hard to sit still.
- Difficulty engaging in quiet leisure activities.
Organisation and Executive Function
- Chronic procrastination and difficulty starting tasks.
- Losing important items like keys, phone, or documents.
- Severe challenges with time management and deadlines.
Impulsivity and Wellbeing
- Impulsive spending or decision-making.
- Low frustration tolerance and mood swings.
- Difficulty regulating emotions and hypersensitivity.
ADHD Presentations in Adults
ADHD is typically categorised into three presentations: Predominantly Inattentive (challenges with focus), Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive (restlessness and impulsivity), and Combined Presentation. In adults, symptoms often lack the 'external' disruptive nature seen in childhood, requiring a specialist clinical assessment for accurate diagnosis.
