ADHD Support in Croydon
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how you concentrate, manage impulses, and regulate energy. It's not a character flaw. It's how your brain is wired. In Croydon, there are NHS and community services that can help with assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing support.
Common signs and symptoms
- Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention

- Impulsive decision-making
- Trouble organising tasks or managing time
- Forgetfulness in daily activities
- Emotional dysregulation or mood swings
Getting help
If you think you might have ADHD, speak to your GP about a referral for assessment. Adults can also self-refer to some services. Therapy, particularly CBT adapted for ADHD, can help you develop coping strategies alongside or instead of medication.
