A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be carried out by an experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This includes a complete medical history, as well as an assessment using the common ADHD questionnaires and rating scales.

Following your assessment you will be advised that medication may be beneficial in your particular situation. This will take place during your follow-up appointment (which can be done in person by video link, in person or by telephone). Your clinician will discuss the various medication options available. If you decide to start medication, we will help you the option of titrating your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process could take several weeks and it involves gradually altering your child’s medication until the appropriate balance is achieved. It is not uncommon to to titrate as high as three different medications before you can find the one that best suits your child's ADHD. Parents must participate in this titration process and keep a close eye on their child's behavior, so that they can inform the doctor whether the medication is helping or causing side effects.

If you do not decide to return to NHS treatment the medication you take will be given as an individual prescription that you'll need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in the consultation fee). You'll need to keep up with your appointments every six months to monitor your medication. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is complete after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist. The appointment will usually be conducted by video conference using zoom. However, in some cases, it may be possible for an audio-only appointment to be scheduled (again at an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss any treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration plan. This will include a discussion and review of your dosage of medication and any side effects you may be experiencing. These titrations cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions, and PS60 via telephone or video consultation. The pharmacy will be charged for any medication costs.

The doctor will also ask you about your family history and the impact that your ADHD symptoms have on your life, including any relationship issues you might be facing or any other mental health problems that you may be experiencing. ADHD can be a hereditary condition, and it's vital to look into your family's history to determine if you're at risk of developing this disorder.

It is crucial that you are honest and truthful to the doctor during the assessment, since the information they gather will be used to determine whether your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is an important step because a wrong diagnosis could lead to inappropriate medication prescription.

If you decide to seek treatment for ADHD we'll schedule a follow-up appointment with a psychiatrist that is skilled in this field. If you'd like to begin treatment immediately, you can do this at the time of diagnosis. Or you can wait two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you.

We suggest that if you are unsure about your preferences, you talk to your GP prior to booking your private examination. Certain providers have different policies regarding whether or not they require the submission of a GP letter. Check if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them when you leave the clinic for prescription medication.

Medication

For many people who seek an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is an important aspect of their journey. It can be difficult to get an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

Asking your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry - UK and ADHD 360). This means that you can select one that provides an assessment and titration service. This will cut down your waiting time significantly and is more convenient if you're working and have a hectic schedule.

If you are recommended by this method, your chosen clinician will assess you and decide whether or not you require to be adjusted on your medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that vary by provider but the most common ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are any reasons that suggest you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, even if they have been prescribed.

If you are being titrated on medication, it is likely to include a mix of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. These will be carefully trialled and monitored to find the best combination for you, taking into consideration any current conditions you suffer from. The titration process can be a lengthy process and may require several extra appointments before you are stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments is contingent on the type and quantity of medication you're taking. They could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. Your physician will make sure whether you are safe with the medication, document any adverse reactions you have experienced and make any needed adjustments to ensure that you remain on a safe dose. You will also be required to attend a regular health check which can include blood pressure readings, pulse and weight and an annual check-up.

Some people might be satisfied with their treatment and don't have to discuss their titration further. However, for those who do need further discussions about their titration and treatment plan it's possible to be referred back to the private clinic that performed their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration appointment will be part of their consultation fee, and they will receive their medication via a private prescription (see Consultation fees above). It could cost more than an NHS prescription because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
