ADHD Diagnosis in the UK
In the UK you have the legal right to select who will conduct your NHS mental health assessments. Not all healthcare professionals are qualified to be able to diagnose ADHD.
Panorama has heard from patients and whistleblowers who claim that private clinics diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication without proper tests. We went undercover in order to learn more.
What is an assessment of the project?
An assessment is a consultation with a psychiatrist to discuss how ADHD affects your life and to see whether medication might help. You will be asked to provide details about your symptoms and the problems they cause. You will be asked questions about your personal and professional life. Some patients find it helpful to write notes of their symptoms prior to the appointment. This helps them remember their symptoms. A psychiatrist is typically spending 45 to 90 minutes with you during an assessment.
You can have an adult ADHD assessment through the NHS or privately. The GP must take ADHD concerns seriously and refer you to an assessment. The system is not without its problems. The BBC's Panorama program raised concerns over doctors prescribing powerful medications for long periods of time and not taking into account the medical history of patients.
If you're concerned about the attitude of your GP toward ADHD Consider finding a different GP. On the Psychiatry UK website there is templates and tips to submit your request.
Private psychiatric care is much more efficient and professional, particularly in London. The price is ranging from PS600 up to PS1,200. Private psychiatrists are skilled in conducting assessments of people from different backgrounds, and can offer an individualized treatment plan especially if you are highly skilled or have a lucrative career. They can also assess for and assist with any co-morbidities commonly found alongside ADHD such as anxiety and depression.
