At Clearmind Health, we know that seeking an ADHD assessment can feel like a big step. Our role is to guide you through the process with clarity, compassion, and expertise — so you always know what’s happening and why.

ADHD is a complex condition with no single “perfect” test. That’s why all assessments at Clearmind are carried out by UK-registered doctors with specialist training in ADHD. Their skill and experience are essential in making an accurate diagnosis.

Your journey starts with a detailed conversation about your symptoms — not just today, but also how they’ve shown up throughout your life. Where possible, we’ll also gather insights from someone who’s known you since childhood, helping us build a complete picture of how ADHD may be affecting you across different settings, such as at home, work, or in education.

We use internationally recognised tools, such as the DIVA-5 (Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults), to help identify ADHD symptoms and understand how they impact your daily life. By combining these results with our clinical expertise, we’re able to reach a confident, well-supported diagnosis

At Clearmind, treatment is always personalised to you. For many people, medication plays an important role in managing ADHD symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Our focus is on helping reduce the core symptoms of ADHD — inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity — so you can feel more in control and able to live life to the fullest.

Stimulant medications (such as methylphenidate or amphetamine-based medicines) are usually the first choice, as they are highly effective for most people. They work by boosting certain brain chemicals, like dopamine and noradrenaline, to improve focus and reduce impulsive behaviour.

For those who cannot take stimulants or do not respond well to them, non-stimulant options such as atomoxetine or guanfacine are available. These work differently, often supporting brain pathways linked to attention and emotional regulation.
