Spectrum Centre Ireland – ADHD Assessments for Adults
Understand Your Mind. Unlock Your Potential. At Spectrum Centre Ireland, we provide thorough and compassionate ADHD assessments for adults. Many people reach adulthood without ever being diagnosed, only to realise later in life that ADHD may explain long-standing challenges with focus, organisation, or impulsivity. Getting an accurate diagnosis can be life-changing – opening the door to self-understanding, effective coping strategies, and tailored support.
Why Seek an Adult ADHD Assessment?
- ADHD can present differently in adults than in children.
- You may benefit from an assessment if you often experience:
- Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention
- Procrastination and struggles with organisation
- Feeling easily overwhelmed or forgetful
- Restlessness, impulsivity, or difficulty relaxing
- Chronic lateness or time-blindness
- Low self-esteem, anxiety, or burnout from “masking”
An assessment can help you:
✔️ Gain clarity and validation ✔️ Understand your strengths and challenges ✔️ Access supports in education or the workplace ✔️ Explore treatment and coping strategies
