The dedicated and highly experienced team at Bucks Psychiatry understands that getting the right diagnosis can transform your child or teen’s school experience, confidence, and family life. Our aim is to work together with you to give them the understanding and support they deserve.
If you’ve been worried about your child or teen’s focus, energy levels, or behaviour, you’re not alone. Many parents notice something “just isn’t clicking” but getting answers can be a long, stressful process.
NHS waiting lists for ADHD assessments can stretch for months or even years. In the meantime, you’re left feeling stuck, with more questions than answers.
We are here to help you get clarity sooner, so you can feel confident in the next steps for your child’s education, wellbeing, and happiness.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, attention, and impulse control. It’s not about laziness or bad behaviour — it’s about how the brain processes information and manages activity levels.
ADHD affects everyone differently, but common signs include:
Some children show mainly hyperactive behaviours, others are more inattentive, and some have a combination of both.
Left unrecognised, ADHD can impact school performance, self-esteem, and friendships. But with the right support, children and young people with ADHD can thrive — using their creativity, problem-solving skills, and energy as strengths.
ADHD is not caused by poor parenting or a lack of effort. It’s linked to how the brain develops and works and often runs in families. The key is recognising it early and putting the right strategies in place.
A professional ADHD assessment is the first step towards understanding your child’s needs. It opens the door to school support, practical strategies at home, and if appropriate, treatment options such as behavioural approaches or medication.
Fact: ADHD is a recognised neurodevelopmental condition. It affects how the brain regulates attention, activity levels, and impulses – it’s not about laziness or lack of discipline.
Fact: ADHD affects both boys and girls. Girls are sometimes underdiagnosed because their symptoms can be less obvious or more inattentive than hyperactive.
Fact: Parenting style does not cause ADHD. It often runs in families and is linked to brain development and genetics. Supportive parenting can make a big positive difference.
Fact: Some children’s symptoms change as they get older, but ADHD often continues into teenage years and adulthood. Early support helps children build lifelong coping strategies.
Fact: Medication can help some people with ADHD, but it’s not the only option. Behavioural strategies, school support, coaching, and lifestyle changes can all play an important role.
