What Is ADHD and Why Get Assessed?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects how people focus, stay organized, and manage their impulses. It’s often linked to children, but many adults have ADHD too—sometimes without knowing it. If you often feel distracted, forgetful, overwhelmed, or constantly restless, ADHD could be part of the reason.
There are different types of ADHD. Some people mainly struggle with attention—losing track of tasks, missing deadlines, or zoning out during conversations. Others may feel constantly on the go or act without thinking. Many experience a mix of both.
Getting assessed for ADHD can be life-changing. It helps you understand how your brain works and why certain things feel harder than they should. A proper diagnosis can lead to support like coaching, therapy, or medication that makes everyday life more manageable.
Without assessment, ADHD can affect your work, relationships, and confidence. You might blame yourself for things that aren’t your fault. But with the right help, you can build strategies that work for you.
If you’ve ever wondered why you struggle with focus or feel out of sync with others, an ADHD assessment is a smart first step toward clarity, support, and a better quality of life.
