“I want to get it under control”: Adam Thomas’s ADHD Journey

Adam Thomas diagnosed himself with ADHD after becoming aware of the symptoms and realising that it described him to a tee. 

“It was the first time in my life where I finally felt seen,” he said on his podcast, At Home With the Thomas Bros, back in May 2025. He was talking about racing thoughts, and voices in his head. Laughing with his brothers, he asks, “Does everyone not have that?!”

In October 2026, Adam came to Pall Mall’s Manchester clinic to finally seek a formal diagnosis, following in the footsteps of his brother Scott.

“It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time now. It’s been years that I’ve felt like I have ADHD and I just wanted to finally get a diagnosis just for clarity and peace of mind.”

For many people, exploring the possibility of ADHD isn't about finding a label. It's about understanding themselves better, making sense of their experiences and knowing what steps to take next.

“I feel like it’s been long enough and I want to slowly get it under control,” he says.

What does ADHD diagnosis involve?

An ADHD diagnosis starts with a detailed assessment by a qualified specialist who takes the time to understand you, your experiences and how your symptoms affect everyday life. You'll talk about your attention, behaviour, emotions and experiences from childhood through to adulthood.

Your specialist may also use questionnaires and information from people who know you well to build a clearer picture. From there, they'll explain their findings, whether ADHD is the right diagnosis and what support or treatment options could help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
