ADHD Diagnosis & Treatment (Adults & Children)

At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our psychiatrists provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in both adults and children. ADHD can affect focus, behavior, relationships, and self-esteem — but with the right support, individuals of any age can thrive. Learn more about our full Psychiatry Services here.

What Is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts attention, impulse control, and activity levels. While it often begins in childhood, many cases continue into adulthood.

In children, ADHD may appear as restlessness, difficulty following instructions, or trouble concentrating in school.
In adults, it can affect time management, organization, work performance, and relationships.

ADHD is not a sign of laziness or poor discipline. It is a medical condition influenced by brain chemistry and genetics, and it requires structured care.

Signs You Should Seek Help

You may benefit from an ADHD assessment if you or your child experience:

  • Trouble focusing on tasks or frequent careless mistakes
  • Restlessness, constant fidgeting, or difficulty staying seated
  • Forgetfulness, poor time management, or losing items often
  • Impulsivity, such as interrupting, risk-taking, or acting without thinking
  • Academic, work, or relationship struggles linked to these patterns

A proper diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment and confidence in daily life.

How We Treat ADHD at Westminster

Our psychiatrists use a structured process that includes history-taking, clinical interviews, and, where appropriate, standardized assessments. Treatment plans may include:

  • Medication: Stimulants or non-stimulant options to improve focus and reduce impulsivity
  • Therapy: Behavioral therapy for children, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults, and skills training for both
  • Parent and family support: Coaching for parents to guide children positively without reinforcing challenges
  • Lifestyle guidance: Sleep hygiene, structured routines, exercise, and diet recommendations to improve attention
  • School and workplace strategies: Letters, accommodations, and coping tools for better performance in daily environments

Treatment is ongoing, with regular reviews to adapt as needs change.
