Titration

A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted with a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your evaluation You will be advised if medication would be beneficial for your specific situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which can take place in person, by video link or over the phone). Your doctor will explain what medication options are available and if you decide to begin taking medication, we will offer to titrate dosage to ensure the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This process can take several weeks and requires gradually altering your child’s medication until the appropriate balance is achieved. It's not uncommon to have to titrate as high as three different medications before you find the one that best suits your child's ADHD. It is essential for parents to take part in this process of titration, and keep an eye on their child's behavior, so that they can let the doctor know whether the medication is working or causing adverse effects.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed, you'll be able to schedule follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist as appropriate. Typically, the appointment will take place on zoom video call however in some instances it might be possible to do an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

These titrations cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 via telephone or video consultation. The pharmacy will charge you for any cost of medication.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions about your family history as well as the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your daily life and any relationship problems or mental health issues that you might be suffering from. This is because ADHD can be an inheritable condition, and it is important to examine any family history that could indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder.

If you are unsure of what is titration adhd your preference is We suggest you talk with your GP prior to scheduling your private assessment as some providers have different policies about whether they require the submission of a GP referral letter or not. Find out if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means you will be referred to them after you leave the clinic to get a medication prescription.

Medication

For many people who seek an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is a key element of their treatment. Finding prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and lengthy. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Inquiring 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 that offers an assessment on your own and the titration. This will help you save time and be more convenient, particularly when you are on a tight work schedule.

If you are recommended by this method, your chosen clinician will assess you and decide whether or not you require to be titrated on medication.
