A highly experienced consultant psychiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment of your ADHD. This includes a medical history and an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

Following your assessment you will be informed whether medication may be beneficial for your situation. This will be discussed during your follow-up appointment (which can take place in person, via video link or by phone). Your clinician will explain the different options available for you to take medication and if you decide to begin taking medication, we will recommend titrating the dose to maximize the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This process may take several weeks. It involves adjusting the dosage of your child's medication gradually until the appropriate balance is achieved. It is not unusual to need to adjust several times before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is important that parents participate in the titration for adhd and be aware of their child's behavior, so they can let the doctors know whether the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you do not decide to return to NHS care the medication you take will be given as an individual prescription that you will need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You will need to attend six-monthly appointments to check your medication. This includes blood pressure and pulse measurements. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed you will be able to book follow up appointments with the psychiatrist as appropriate. Typically, the appointment will take place on zoom video call but in certain circumstances it might be possible to have an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

At this point, we will discuss treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration period adhd program. This will include an assessment of your medication dosage and an examination of any adverse effects you may be experiencing. The cost of these titration sessions is PS150 for face-to face sessions and PS60 for telephone or online video consultations. Medication costs are additional and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will ask questions about your family history as well as the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your life and any mental health issues that you might be suffering from. This is because ADHD is a genetic disorder and it is essential to look into any family history that might indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder.

It is essential that you are honest and transparent to the doctor during this evaluation, as the information they receive will be used to determine whether your ADHD is in line with the diagnostic criteria. This is an essential step in the process, because if you don't do it, it could lead to an inaccurate diagnosis and consequently an inappropriate prescription of medication.

If you have decided that you'd like to receive treatment for your ADHD We will set up a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists who specialise in this area. This can be scheduled within the first few days of your diagnosis if you are eager to begin treatment right away, or within two weeks if you want to think about the implications of your diagnosis and the possibilities available to you.

We suggest that if are unsure of your preferences, you speak with your GP prior to scheduling your private appointment. Some providers have different policies regarding whether or not they require a GP letter. We also suggest to check if your GP accepts a 'Shared Care Agreement', which means that after you have been discharged from the clinic you will be referred back to them for the prescription for medication.

Medication

Medication is a key element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. Getting an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and long-winded. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer their patients to specialist services.

Inquiring 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 a provider that offers a private assessment and titration service. This can cut down on wait time significantly and is more convenient if you're working and have a hectic schedule.

If you are referred through this route your chosen doctor will assess you and decide whether or not you require to be adjusted on your medication. You will be asked to fill out forms that differ by doctor but the main ones are self-report forms and medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will help your clinician determine if there are circumstances that indicate you shouldn't take ADHD medications, if they have been prescribed.

If you are being titrated the medication will be a combination stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. They will be tested and monitored to find the most suitable combination for you. The titration process can be long and could require several additional appointments before you are stable on your dose.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments will depend on the type and amount of medication you are taking. They can be scheduled for monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor checking to see if you are stable on the medication, logging any side effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you're on a dose that is safe. You will also be required to attend a regular health check that may include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements as well as an annual check-up.

Some patients may be content with their medication and therefore do not require discussing their titration further. If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan in more detail, it is possible that you'll be sent to the private clinic that performed your initial evaluation. If this occurs, the titration meaning adhd consultation will be part of their consultation fees and they will be given their medication via an individual prescription (see Consultation fees above). This may cost more than a prescription from the NHS because the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
