This is my review of the whole process from referral to diagnosis, treatment, and nearly a year of taking stimulants for ADHD.

Your GP can refer you to a local ADHD specialist or you can opt for a private assessment. The waiting times for NHS assessments in the UK can be up to five years in certain areas. In England, the average wait time to receive an initial assessment is at least two years.

April 2022 Update
Psychiatry UK is currently closed for bookings and has a full schedule until October 2022. They will contact referred patients as soon possible and aim to schedule new clients according to the order in which they received their referrals. The website is regularly updated with new information.

Right To Choose in England has used this video to post a variety of clinics since then. ADHD UK has lots of useful information. You can also send a letter to your GP if you are denied your Right To Choice.

After two years of waiting for ADHD treatment via the NHS in England, I finally received treatment at Psychiatry UK. This psychiatry service provides Adult ADHD Diagnosis as well as ADHD Treatments virtually.

My ADHD diagnosis from early childhood is documented in my medical records. However, the local ADHD service rejected my referral after multiple attempts by my doctor. They refused to re-diagnose ADHD and only treated patients who had been diagnosed by them. This left me and possibly thousands of other people in limbo.

Private ADHD treatment in the UK can be quite expensive and sometimes not accessible. My GP recommended that I be referred to Psychiatry UK (P-UK), for evaluation and treatment. This framework gives you the right to choose your treatment provider. My GP approved and local commissioners funded my treatment.

Within two weeks of my GP referral, I received a virtual appointment from a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. ADHD. This was a great relief. A week later, the titration process began. Once I had found a medication that worked for me, my GP agreed that we would have a shared healthcare agreement. This will allow me to get prescriptions quickly and through the NHS rather than having to pay hundreds of pounds per month.
