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

After your assessment After your assessment, you will be informed if medication would be beneficial for your particular situation. This will be discussed during your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, via video link or over the phone). Your doctor will explain the different options available for you to take medication and, if you decide to begin taking medication, we will offer to titrate dosage to ensure the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This is a process which can take several weeks and involves adjusting your child's medication gradually until the proper balance is achieved. It is not unusual to have to titrate three or four medications before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is essential that parents are involved in the titration and be aware of their child's behavior, so they can let the doctors know if the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment you will be issued a private prescription for your medication. You will have to pay for your prescription at the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation cost. You must attend every six months to check your medication - this includes pulse and blood pressure 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 the psychiatrist. The appointment is usually done via zoom video call. However, in certain circumstances, it might be possible for an audio-only appointment to be conducted (again with an additional cost).

At this point, we will discuss any treatment options we have and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration strategy. This will include a review and discussion of your medication dose and any adverse effects you may be experiencing. The cost for these titration adhd medications appointments is PS150 for face-to face sessions and PS60 for telephone or online video consultations. The pharmacy will be charged for any medication costs.

The doctor will also ask you about your family history and the impact that your ADHD symptoms can have on your life, as well as any issues with your relationships that you may be experiencing or other mental health problems that you may be suffering from. ADHD can be a hereditary condition, and it's vital to assess your family history in order to determine if you are at chance of developing this condition.

It is important that you are honest and truthful with your doctor during the assessment, since the information they get will be used to determine if your ADHD is in line with the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step, since an incorrect diagnosis could lead to inappropriate medication prescription.

If you decide to be treated for ADHD We'll set up an appointment to follow-up with a psychiatrist that is skilled in this area. If you want to start treatment immediately, you can do this immediately following the diagnosis. You can also take two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you.

If you're not sure what is adhd titration your preference is, we suggest that you speak to your GP before booking your private adhd titration appointment as certain providers have different policies about whether they require an GP referral letter or not. Check if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them when you leave the clinic to get a prescriptions for medication.

Medication

Medication is an integral part of the journey for many people who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't easy to obtain prescriptions from psychiatrists on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long and GPs might be reluctant to refer 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 select a provider who offers an assessment on your own and the titration. This will cut down your waiting time by a significant amount and is more convenient when you are working and have a busy schedule.

If you are referred, your clinician will examine your condition to determine if you require medication titration. 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 to adulthood. These forms will help your clinician determine if there are any reasons that suggest you shouldn't take ADHD medication, even when they've been prescribed.

If you are on a titration medication, it will typically be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. They will be carefully tested and monitored to determine the most effective combination for you, taking into consideration any existing conditions you have. The process of titration can be lengthy and may need some additional appointments before you are stable on your dosage.

Depending on the kind of medication you are taking, follow-up appointments could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician checking to see if you are stable on the medication, logging any side effects you've experienced and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You are required to attend an annual health check-up and regular health check-up that includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements.

Some patients may be content with their medication, and do not require discussing their titration in more detail. However, for those who require further discussions regarding their titration and treatment plan it is possible that they will be passed back to the private clinic that performed their initial assessment. In this scenario the titration is included in the consultation fee. The medication will be provided through the private prescription. This could cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
