What is ADHD, Its Signs & Who It Affects

ADHD (known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It’s often identified in childhood, but many people reach adulthood without a diagnosis, only to realise that lifelong challenges with attention, organisation, or regulation may be linked to ADHD. It’s estimated that over 2.5 million people have undiagnosed ADHD in the UK alone, with more seeking private ADHD diagnosis assessments for answers.

Common Signs and Symptoms

Everyone experiences ADHD differently, but common signs may include:

  • Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention on tasks
  • Forgetfulness, disorganisation, or frequently losing things
  • Restlessness or feeling an inability to relax
  • Acting on impulse without considering consequences
  • Struggles with emotional regulation, such as frustration or low tolerance for stress
  • Challenges meeting deadlines or managing workloads

These symptoms often lead to difficulties at work, in education, or within personal relationships.

Who It Affects

ADHD can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Many adults with ADHD are high-achieving but may feel they are constantly masking or under greater stress than others. Left undiagnosed, ADHD can contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or burnout.

At Eulas, our aim is to provide clarity, compassion, and evidence-based assessments that help you understand your challenges and move forward with confidence.


Private ADHD Diagnosis & Assessments

Living with undiagnosed ADHD can be overwhelming. Difficulties with focus, organisation, impulsivity, or emotional regulation often affect relationships and careers. Unfortunately, NHS ADHD waiting times in Scotland can stretch for many months or even years.

At Eulas, we offer private ADHD diagnosis assessments for adults, carried out by highly experienced consultant psychiatrists. Our assessments follow NICE guidelines, meaning your diagnosis is recognised by the NHS.

We offer appointments in-person at our clinic or via secure online consultations, ensuring our service is accessible across Scotland and the wider UK.


Private ADHD Diagnosis Pricing & Booking

Our private ADHD assessments are offered at a transparent fixed price of £1,300 with payment plans available.

This includes:

  • Pre-assessment questionnaires
  • Psychiatrist consultation
  • Structured diagnostic interview (e.g. DIVA-5)
  • Comprehensive written report
  • Initial treatment recommendations

For more information on payment plan options and availability, please contact us directly.

    Your psychiatrist will provide feedback on the day, explaining whether ADHD criteria are met and outlining recommended treatment options.

Private ADHD Diagnosis & Assessments FAQs

Whether you’re enquiring for yourself or someone else, we’re here to make the process clear and supportive. Discover answers to commonly asked questions about private ADHD diagnosis and assessments below.

What does a private ADHD assessment involve?

Our assessments follow NICE guidelines and include a detailed clinical interview, validated questionnaires, and, where appropriate, input from external parties. We conduct a thorough review of your medical, developmental, and mental health history to ensure a clear and accurate diagnosis.

How long does the private ADHD diagnosis assessment take?

Most assessments last between 60 to 90 minutes. In some cases, an assessment may take longer, and an additional follow-up may be recommended to gather further details or provide feedback.

Do I need a GP referral for a private ADHD diagnosis assessment?

No, you can self-refer directly to Eulas. However, it is advisable to keep your GP informed, particularly if you plan to access shared care for prescriptions later.

Is my ADHD assessment confidential?

Yes. Your information is treated with the highest level of confidentiality. We only share details with your GP or other professionals with your consent.

What happens if I receive an ADHD diagnosis?

We’ll discuss treatment options with you, which may include medication, therapy, or other strategies. If medication is appropriate, we can prescribe privately and support your transition to GP care.

How quickly can I be seen for a private ADHD diagnosis assessment?

This will depend on whether you plan to visit the clinic or attend virtually, as well as availability. We aim to offer appointments very quickly, helping you avoid the long NHS waiting lists.

What if my difficulties aren’t caused by ADHD?

Sometimes other conditions (such as anxiety, depression, or sleep problems) explain symptoms. If that’s the case for you, you’ll receive a clear report outlining our findings and suggested next steps for support or treatment.
