ADHD Support in Singapore
Where can adults get help for ADHD in Singapore?
Adults with ADHD in Singapore can access support through a range of professionals and services, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, ADHD coaches and support groups.
The right type of support will often depend on what you are looking for help with - whether that is diagnosis, medication, emotional wellbeing, relationships, work struggles or practical day-to-day strategies.
For many adults, understanding where to start can feel confusing or overwhelming, particularly when navigating different healthcare systems, professional titles and support options.

Adults seeking ADHD support in Singapore are often faced with a wide range of professional titles and services, which can feel confusing at first.
Understanding the different types of support available can help you decide where to begin.
Psychiatrists
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose ADHD, prescribe medication and assess whether medication may be appropriate.

Psychotherapists and counsellors

Support groups and resources
Some adults also benefit from peer support, psychoeducation, workshops, online resources and community spaces.
How to start the ADHD support process
Many adults suspect ADHD for years before seeking support.
Often people are unsure whether to pursue an assessment, medication, therapy, coaching or practical support - and the number of options available can feel overwhelming at first.
Step 1 Learn about ADHD
Understanding how ADHD presents in adults, by reading recommended books, can help you recognise patterns more clearly and make sense of your experiences.
Step 2 Explore professional support options
Some adults choose to begin with therapy or counselling, while others seek a formal assessment or medical support first.
Step 3 Consider what support feels right for you
Support may include practical strategies, emotional support, medication, relationship counselling, coaching or psychoeducation.
Step 4 Take one manageable next step
For many people, beginning with one conversation or one source of support feels less overwhelming than trying to solve everything at once.
