Private ADHD Titration

Our service can provide private ADHD Titration Period Adhd as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our fees for assessments include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A thorough assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by an experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This includes a complete medical history, and an assessment using the typical ADHD questionnaires and rating scales.

After your examination, you will be informed that medication may be beneficial for your situation. This will take place at your follow up appointment (which can be done in person, via video link or by phone). Your clinician will discuss the various options for medications available. If you decide to begin medication, we will offer you the opportunity to increase your dosage to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process may take several weeks and it involves gradually altering your child's medication until the proper balance is reached. It is not uncommon to have to adjust up to three different medications until you discover the one that best suits your child's ADHD. It is crucial that parents take part in the titration and keep an eye out for their child's behavior, so they can let the doctors know if the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to return to NHS treatment and have decided to return to NHS care, your medication will be given as an individual prescription that you'll need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees).

Follow-up appointments

Once the assessment is completed and you are satisfied, you can schedule follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist. The appointment will usually be conducted by video conference using zoom. However, in some cases, it may be possible to have an audio-only appointment to be conducted (again with an additional cost).

At this point, we will discuss any treatment options and decide on a custom-made ADHD medication titration program.

The doctor will also ask you about your family background and the impact your ADHD symptoms have on your life, including any issues with relationships you may be experiencing or other mental health problems that you may be experiencing. This is because ADHD is a genetic disorder and it is essential that we assess any family history that may indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder.

It is important that you are honest and transparent with the clinician during this assessment, as the information they get will be used to determine if your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step in the process since a failure to do so could lead to an inaccurate 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 that specialize in this area.

You can also take two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you.

We recommend that if you are unsure of your preferences, talk to your GP prior to booking your private appointment. Certain providers have different guidelines regarding whether or not they require an GP letter. We also suggest to confirm that your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement that means that once discharged from the clinic, you will be sent back to them to get the prescription for the medication.
