According to a recent report there are over 2 million people who have ADHD that have not been diagnosed. The NHS currently have an 18-month waiting period for children and adults to see an ADHD Specialist. Those who are not diagnosed are not receiving the support they need and are instead struggling on a daily basis.
Dr. Stefan Ivantu M.D, MRCPsych an ADHD specialist who has opened a new clinic in London wants to see more people tested accurately to allow those with ADHD to thrive.
The ADHD Specialist has said ADHD often goes unnoticed by women who have it. Dr. Ivantu, MRCPsych has advised on some of the symptoms to look out for:
Appears withdrawn or shy
Easily tearful and often cries
Daydreams frequently and seems lost in her own world.
Has difficulty maintaining focus and is easily distracted.
Is generally disorganised and messy in both appearance and physical space.
Seems unmotivated and doesn’t appear to be trying.
Is forgetful and often late, showing poor time management.
Highly sensitive to noise, fabrics and emotions.
Hyper-talkative with lots to say but not good at listening.
Makes “careless” mistakes frequently.
Might often slam doors shut.
Struggles with completing tasks.
Shifts focus from one activity to another frequently.
Takes time to process information and directions, often seeming like she doesn’t hear you.
Verbally impulsive, often blurting out and interrupting others.
Dr. Ivantu, MRCPsych whose clinic is based at 10 Harley St, London, W1G 9PF, has said, if a woman believes they may have ADHD, it is important for them to have an in-depth assessment.
“The current problem in the ADHD world is that services are offering quick 45-60 min assessments which are not always accurate. Since this diagnosis should cover the entire person’s journey in life and is a chronic condition the assessments should be at a minimum 2-2.5 hr long duration”, explained Dr.Ivantu, MRCPsych
