What is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is categorized as a neurodevelopmental disorder impacting individuals across various stages of life. Although it often becomes apparent during childhood, the effects and manifestations of ADHD can continue to be present throughout adolescence and well into adulthood, influencing various aspects of daily living and personal development.

Core symptoms:

Individuals with ADHD typically exhibit a spectrum of behaviours and challenges including:

Difficulty Concentrating (Inattention): The struggle to maintain focus on tasks, often shifting from one activity to another without completion, which can impact academic and professional performance.

Hyperactivity: An increased level of activity and energy, which might manifest as constant fidgeting, difficulty remaining seated, and an inability to engage in activities quietly or calmly.

Impulsivity: Acting without consideration of the consequences, which can lead to making hasty decisions and potentially risky behaviours.

What causes ADHD?

Understanding ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, can be a bit of a puzzle because its exact causes are not fully known. However, we can piece together some important insights from various studies and observations.

The hereditary aspect of ADHD

A clear pattern that emerges from research is that ADHD tends to show up more commonly in certain families. This hints at a possible genetic connection. Basically, if someone in your family has ADHD, there might be a higher chance that others in the family have it too.

Exploring the Unique Brain Characteristics of ADHD

When we look at the brains of people with ADHD, sometimes we notice some differences in structure and activity, especially in the areas that manage our attention and self-control. Also, the chemicals in the brain, known as neurotransmitters, which help our brain cells talk to each other, might work a bit differently in people with ADHD.

The Role of Environment and Development

ADHD doesn’t have a single cause, but is likely influenced by various factors, including our genes, brain function, and also our environment. For example, certain experiences, like exposure to specific elements while a baby is developing during pregnancy, or being born prematurely, are also linked to a higher possibility of having ADHD.

Some GPs accept a private diagnostic assessment alone for prescribing ADHD medication, some do not. If you feel medication is part of your treatment plan post-diagnosis, it is worth speaking to your GP before pursuing an ADHD diagnosis.

Note that we do have a private psychiatric pathway for medication assessment, but this is at a supplementary cost. Further information can be provided upon request.
