ADHD Resources
Practical Information for Adults Living With ADHD
You may already have a diagnosis, or you may still be exploring whether ADHD is part of your experience. Either way, clear, structured information can make daily life more manageable.
This page is designed as a growing resource hub for adults with ADHD, their families, and professionals who support them.
At Arrow Psychiatry, ADHD care focuses not only on diagnosis, but on functional improvement, organisation, emotional regulation, consistency, and long-term sustainability.

ADHD Self-Management Foundations
While professional assessment and treatment are important, many adults benefit from starting with structured foundations:
- Consistent sleep and wake times
- Externalising tasks (lists, visual systems, reminders)
- Breaking tasks into smaller units
- Reducing cognitive load
- Scheduled recovery time
For Family Members & Partners
ADHD often affects relationships.
Learning about the condition can help reduce misinterpretation of:

ADHD and Co-Occurring Conditions
Many adults with ADHD also experience:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Burnout
Treating ADHD alone may not address the full picture.
If you are unsure whether ADHD is the primary issue or part of a broader pattern, a structured psychiatric assessment can clarify this.
ADHD Support at Arrow Psychiatry
ADHD care at Arrow Psychiatry is led by Dr Ishaan Gosai, UK-trained Senior Consultant Psychiatrist with a special interest in adult ADHD and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Care emphasises:
- Careful developmental assessment
- Responsible diagnosis
- Judicious use of medication

Resources are important, but structured medical clarity is often the starting point.
