Our service is private ADHD treatment instead of waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessment fees cover the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. This includes a medical history and an assessment using the typical ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your evaluation, you will be informed whether medication may be beneficial for your situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which could be in person, by video link or by phone). Your clinician will discuss the various medication options available. If you decide to start medication, we will offer you to titrate your dose to optimize the benefits/side-effects balance for you.

This process can take several weeks, and requires adjusting your child's dosage gradually until the appropriate balance is achieved. It's not uncommon to to titrate up to three different medicines until you discover the one that best suits your child's ADHD. It is important that parents take part in the titration and keep an eye out for their child's behavior so they can inform doctors if the medication is helping or causing adverse reactions.

Unless you have decided to return to NHS treatment, your medication will be provided with an individual prescription that you'll have to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You will be required to attend regular appointments every six months to monitor your medication. This includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed, you'll be able to schedule follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist, if appropriate. Typically, the appointment will take place through a video call using zoom but in certain circumstances it may be possible to do an audio only consultation (again at an additional cost).

We will then go over the options for treatment and then decide on the most appropriate, customized ADHD medication adjustment. This will include a review of your medication dose and a discussion of any possible negative side effects you may be experiencing. The cost for these titration consultations is PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 for ADHD Titration online or telephone video consultations. Costs for medication are extra and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions regarding your family history as well as the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your daily life and any relationship problems or mental health issues 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 are at a greater chance of developing this condition.

During the assessment, it is essential that you are honest and honest with the clinician, as they will be using the information you provide to determine whether you are able to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is an essential step in the process, because if you don't do it, it could result in an inaccurate diagnosis, and thus an incorrect prescribing of medication.

If you have decided that you would like to receive treatment for your ADHD We will arrange a follow up appointment with one of our psychiatrists that specialize in this field. This can be scheduled in the wake of your diagnosis if you are eager to begin treatment immediately or within two weeks if prefer to take time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the alternatives that are available to you.

We suggest that if are unsure of your preferences, you speak with your GP prior to scheduling your private appointment. Certain providers have different policies regarding whether they require the submission of a GP letter. We also advise that you check whether your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement that means that once discharged from the clinic you will be referred back to them for the medication prescription.

Medication

The medication process is an essential element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't easy to obtain an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

One method to circumvent this is to request your GP to refer you through Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). This means that you can select a provider that offers an assessment and titration. This will help you to save time and also be more convenient, particularly when you are on a tight schedule.

After you've been recommended by this method your chosen doctor will assess you and decide whether or not you're required to be adjusted on your medication. You will be asked to fill out forms that differ by doctor but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood and adulthood. They will help your physician determine any issues that could suggest you should not take ADHD medications if they are prescribed.

If you are being titrated on medication, this will usually be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. The combination will be carefully tested and monitored to find the most suitable combination for you, taking into consideration any medical conditions you may have. The titration can be lengthy and may require several extra appointments before the dose becomes stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments will be contingent on the type and quantity of medication you are taking. They can be scheduled for monthly or quarterly. Your doctor will ensure whether you are safe with the medication, document any side effects you have experienced and make any needed adjustments to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You are required to attend an annual review as well as a routine health examination which includes pulse, blood pressure and weight measurements.

For some it could be that they are content with their medication and don't require any further discussion on their titration. For those who require further discussion about their titration adhd adults and treatment plans, it's possible that they will be referred back to the private clinic that conducted their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration consultation will be part of their consultation fees and they will receive their medication on private prescription (see Consultation fees above). This could cost more than prescriptions from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
