Titration

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

After your assessment You will be advised if medication would be beneficial for your particular situation. This will happen during your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person by video link, in person or by telephone).

This is a process which may take several weeks. It requires adjusting your child's dosage gradually until the proper balance is reached. It is not unusual to need to titrate two or three medicines before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is essential that parents participate in the titration and keep an eye out for their child's behavior so they can inform the doctor whether the medication is working or causing adverse reactions.

If you decide to return to NHS care, your medication will be issued with an individual prescription that you'll have to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fee). You will need to attend six-monthly appointments to monitor your medication. This includes blood pressure and pulse measurements. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the assessment is completed after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist.

If you are unsure of which one you prefer it is recommended that you speak with your GP before booking your private appointment as certain providers have different rules regarding whether they require a GP referral letter or not. We also recommend that you check whether your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement', which means that after you have been discharged from the clinic you will be returned to them for the prescription for the medication.

Medication

For many people who want a private diagnosis of ADHD medication is an important element of their treatment. It isn't always easy to obtain a prescription from a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long and GPs might be reluctant to refer their patients to specialist services.

Requesting your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry - UK and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider that provides an assessment on your own and the titration. This can cut down on wait time by a significant amount and is more convenient if you're working and have a hectic schedule.

Your doctor will ensure whether you are safe with the medication, document any adverse reactions you've experienced and make any needed adjustments to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You'll also be required to attend a routine health check which can include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings and an annual review.
