Private ADHD Assessment London

What are the Different Types of ADHD and Their Symptoms

ADHD presents differently in each individual, which is why recognising its three main types is key to understanding the condition.

1. Inattentive Type (formerly known as ADD)

This type is primarily associated with concentration and focus issues with common symptoms including:

• Trouble paying attention or following instructions
• Forgetting tasks, appointments, or daily responsibilities
• Losing items like keys, wallets, or phones
• Struggling to stay organised at work or school

2. Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

This type is marked by excessive energy, restlessness, and impulsivity. Symptoms may include:

• Fidgeting or difficulty staying seated
• Talking excessively or interrupting others
• Acting without thinking through consequences
• Feeling constantly “on the go”

3. Combined Type

This is the most common form of ADHD, where symptoms from both inattentive and hyperactive types are present.

In children, ADHD might look like fidgeting, blurting out answers, or finding it hard to focus in class.
In adults, symptoms can include difficulty managing time, procrastination, impulsive decision-making, or struggles with maintaining routines.

Recognising these signs early can make a big difference. With our private ADHD assessment you can get clarity, reduce frustration, and access the right support.

When Should You Consider Getting a Private ADHD Assessment?

You should consider getting an ADHD assessment if you or your child experiences persistent issues with focus, motivation, or organisation that interfere with everyday life.

Common reasons people in London seek an ADHD assessment include:

• Difficulty concentrating for long periods
• Forgetting important tasks or appointments
• Feeling restless or constantly “on edge”
• Frequently missing deadlines or losing motivation
• Ongoing frustration in work, school, or relationships

For children, parents or teachers may notice behavioural changes such as poor attention, impulsive actions, or hyperactivity.
For adults, symptoms often appear as ongoing disorganisation, underachievement, or burnout.
