It's been another busy year for private Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment and treatment! It's also been a pleasure assessing private patients from very diverse backgrounds who turn out to have Adult ADHD on further investigation. They're all thankfully on the road to recovery with the right medication and support.
I attended the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN) conference in September 2019 at the Mermaid Conference and Events Centre in London. UKAAN was established in March 2009 to provide support, education, research and training for mental health professionals working with adults with ADHD. UKAAN was founded by a group of experienced mental health specialists who run clinical services for adults with ADHD within the NHS. The Network was established in response to UK guidelines from the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2008) and the British Association for Psychopharmacology.
According to Professor Philip Asherson, UKAAN President, the conference will celebrate 10 years of UKAAN. There's been a rapid advance in our understanding of ADHD across the lifespan, the availability of diagnostic services, and access to effective treatments. There's also been a stepped change in ADHD recognition by adult mental health services, reflected in a marked increase in the numbers of adults being diagnosed and treated for ADHD. Licensed drug treatments for Adult ADHD are now widely available in the UK and elsewhere for the first time, including both stimulant and non-stimulant medications, and recommendations from guideline groups such as NICE. The importance of concurrent psychosocial treatments is also recognised, and mainstream psychological treatment services are also developing the understanding and skills required to manage mental health problems related to ADHD.
However, there are growing waiting lists for Adult ADHD assessment and treatment on the NHS as recognition and demand continues to rise. Seeking a private ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with an ADHD psychiatrist can offer numerous benefits for individuals struggling with ADHD. Firstly, a private assessment ensures a personalised and thorough evaluation tailored to the individual's specific needs, allowing for an accurate diagnosis. Additionally, working with an ADHD psychiatrist specialising in the condition can lead to a more comprehensive treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. This specialised care can result in improved symptom management, better understanding of the condition, and increased support for the individual and their family. By seeking private ADHD assessment and treatment, individuals can experience a more individualised approach to managing their ADHD symptoms and ultimately improve their overall quality of life.
