Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse. We provide specialised assessments and management plans for ADHD, offering tailored support to help women better understand and manage their condition.
Once you have completed your full ADHD assessment, we will discuss treatment options with you. Incremental prescription of medication doses, and monitoring of side effects, can be carried out by many of our skilled specialists within our service. If you prefer for this stage to taken forward within the NHS, we would be happy to have your local Community Mental Health team access our documentation. However you will need to ensure that this is feasible within your area.
We are also happy to arrange to titrate your ADHD medication with you, with follow up appointments, and we can discuss with you the charges for the different medication options. Since there is variation with the mode of action and the cost of different ADHD medications, we will want to agree together what would suit you best. There is also flexibility with how you prefer to receive your prescriptions.
There can be many reasons that medication may not be the best option in managing ADHD. There are a range of other ways we will be able to help you with your symptoms, including:
| Environmental modifications | |
| Psychological work | |
| Occupational therapy advice | |
| Mindfulness techniques | |
| Group work | |
| Signposting to suitable online resources |
There may also be value in combining medication with psychological treatment, to get the best outcome for you. We will think with you about what treatment plan is likely to meet your individual needs.
High-quality diagnostic assessment and treatment that aligns with evidence-based guidelines.
Our team has, over many years in practice, developed specialist knowledge, supplemented by additional training in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD disorder and the distinct symptom presentation in women with ADHD.
Our person-centred screening process will ensure that you are matched to the most appropriate clinician for your assessment.
Each professional has different areas of expertise, so we can combine our skillsets and are more likely to identify areas of need, including trauma, emotional distress, self-esteem, hormone fluctuations, and eating habits, and subsequently manage those needs in a more effective way.
Our multidisciplinary team meets regularly, and we do this to ensure that all factors are considered prior to offering diagnosis and that you have a care plan best suited to meeting your needs
