A highly experienced psychiatrist consultant will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your ADHD. This will include medical history and an assessment using the typical ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be informed if medication is considered to be beneficial in your case. This will happen at your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person, via video link or by telephone). Your doctor will explain what medication options are available and, if you decide to start on medication we will suggest titrating the dose to optimise the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process may take a few weeks and involves gradually adjusting your child's medication until the proper balance is reached. It's not uncommon to to adjust up to three different medications until you discover the one that is most suitable for your child's ADHD. It is essential that parents participate in the titration and be on the lookout for their child's behavior so they can let the doctors know whether the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to return to NHS treatment you will receive a private prescription for your medication. You will be required to pay the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation cost. You'll be required to attend every six months to check your medication. This includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the evaluation is completed and you are satisfied, you can schedule follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist. Usually the appointment will take place via a zoom video call but in certain circumstances it may be possible to schedule an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

In this session, we'll discuss any treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration program. This will include an assessment of your medication dosage as well as a discussion around any negative side 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. Costs for medication are extra and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will ask questions regarding your family history as well as the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your life, and any mental health issues you might 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 a higher chance of developing this disorder.

During this examination, it is essential to be truthful and open with the doctor, as they will be using the information you provide to determine if you are able to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is a vital part of the process, as failing to do so could result in an incorrect diagnosis, and thus an incorrect prescribing of medication.

If you've decided you'd like to be treated for your ADHD We will schedule a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists that specialize in this field. If you'd like to start treatment right away, you can do this immediately following the diagnosis. You can also wait two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and what options you have.

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

Medication

The medication process is an essential element of the process for many people who are looking for a private ADHD diagnosis. The process of getting a prescription from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Requesting your GP to refer you to 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 an assessment and titration service. This can cut down on wait time by a significant amount and is more convenient if you're working and have a busy schedule.

If you are recommended by this method the doctor you choose will examine you and decide whether or not you require to be adjusted on your medication. You'll have to fill out forms that vary by doctor but the most frequent ones are self-reporting forms and medical histories going back to childhood and adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are factors that could mean that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, if they have been prescribed.

If you are titrated, the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medicines. These will be thoroughly assessed and monitored to determine the right combination for you. The titration procedure can be lengthy and may require a number of additional appointments before the dose becomes stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments will be contingent on the type and amount of medication you're taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. Your clinician will check that you are stable with the medication, document any side effects you've experienced, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You will be required to go to an annual health check-up and routine health examination which includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements.

Some people might be satisfied with their treatment and therefore do not have to discuss their titration further. For those who require further discussion about their titration and treatment plan it's possible to be passed back to the same private clinic that made their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration consultation will be included in their consultation fee and they will be given their medication through an individual prescription (see Consultation fees above). This may cost more than a prescription from the NHS, as the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
