A thorough assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by an experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This will include medical history and an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be advised that medication may be beneficial for your situation. This will happen at your follow up appointment (which can be done in person by video link, in person or by phone). Your physician will go over the various options for medications available. If you decide to start taking medication, we can help you the option of titrating your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

It is not unusual to need to titrate several times before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. Parents must take part in this process of titration and keep a close eye on their child's behaviour to inform the doctor if the medicine is helping or causing side effects.

Unless you have decided to return to NHS treatment, your medication will be issued with a private prescription which you will need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You must attend every six months to check your medication, which includes pulse and blood pressure readings. Annual exams are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the evaluation is completed and you are satisfied, you can schedule follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist. The appointment will usually be conducted by video conference using zoom. In some circumstances, it might be possible for an audio-only consultation to be scheduled (again at an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration plan. This will include an assessment of your medication dose and an examination of any adverse effects you may be experiencing. These titration sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 by video or phone consultation. The pharmacy will be charged for any medication costs.

The psychiatrist will also inquire with you about your family history and the impact your ADHD symptoms have on your life, including any relationship issues you might be experiencing or other mental health problems that you may be experiencing. This is due to the fact that ADHD is a genetic condition and it is important to examine any family history that may indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder.

It is crucial that you are honest and transparent with your doctor during this assessment, as the information they gather will be used to determine if your ADHD meets the diagnostic criteria. This is a vital step in the process as failing to do so could result in an incorrect diagnosis, and thus an incorrect prescribing of medication.

If you've decided that you'd like to be treated for your ADHD, we will then arrange a follow up appointment with one of our psychiatrists who specialise in this area. This can be scheduled within the first few days of your diagnosis if you want to start treatment right away or within two weeks if you would like more time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the alternatives that are available to you.

If you are unsure of which one you prefer it is recommended that you speak to your GP before booking your private assessment as some providers have different policies about whether they require the submission of a GP referral letter or not. Find out if your GP accepts a Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them when you leave the clinic to get a medication prescription.

For many who wish to obtain a private diagnosis of adhd titration treatment is a key part of their journey. Getting an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and lengthy. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

human-givens-institute-logo.pngRequesting your GP to refer you to Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360). You can choose a service that offers an assessment that is private and titration adhd medications. This will cut down your waiting time by a significant amount and is more convenient when you are working and have a busy schedule.

After you've been identified as a candidate for this treatment the doctor you choose will examine you and decide whether or not you require to be monitored for a dose of medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that vary by provider but the main ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will help your clinician determine if there are factors that could mean you shouldn't take ADHD medications, if they have been prescribed.

If you are being titrated the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medications. These will be thoroughly assessed and monitored to determine the right combination for you. The titration process can be lengthy and may need several additional appointments before you're able to stay on your dosage.

Based on the type of medication you are taking, follow-up appointments could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. This will involve your clinician checking that you are stable on the medication, noting any adverse effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you're on a dose that is safe. You will also be required to attend a regular health check that may include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements as well as an annual review.

Some people might be satisfied with their treatment and therefore do not need to discuss their titration in more detail. If you're looking to discuss your titration for adhd or treatment plan in more detail it is likely that you'll be sent back to the private clinic who performed your initial assessment. In this instance the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will then be given via an individual prescription. This could cost more than prescriptions from the NHS because the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
