Afternoon all, my son's being going through the ADHD assessment process in Manchester through the NHS. We've had an eye movement test, then a two hour appointment with a mental health nurse, all forms have been completed by ourselves and the school. We've just had an appointment scheduled for the end of April with the psychiatrist? (I assume) and we believe this is where we get the final diagnosis.
I thought this may be where medication gets prescribed, but I've been told by another parent this morning that it's likely to just be the diagnosis at this appointment then another long wait for mediation. But their child is a teenager so I was wondering if it's a different process? I'd got my hopes up that something would potentially change after this final meeting as my son's been struggling. Does anyone have a breakdown of what this final meeting will be?
Thanks in advance!
