Urgent Year 11 ADHD Referral

2 replies

Passe · 11/09/2023 07:42

I have long had my suspicions that DD 15 has ADHD. Loads of her behaviours and emotions seem to fit and although she has probably masked for a long time, it is now taking its toll on her MH. School also agrees.

Given she is due to take her GCSEs this year I am keen to get her assessed urgently and know this will have to be undertaken privately.

My question is can anyone recommend a CAMHS psychiatrist/clinic that undertakes private work? My understanding is that this is the best way to ensure the GP is on board with prescribing any medication?

If it helps we live in East Anglia but willing to travel.

I don’t but my DS was fast tracked due to some major issues he was having and it ended up being 6 months start to finish for the process. We’re in the NW. ADHD services are outsourced in this area.
Yoir best bet would be to speak to the GP and ask them for recommendations.
