All you need to know about an ADHD Assessment, Diagnosis, Medication and Titration

** All details of how to sign up for my brand-new, groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series are now on my website**

In today's bonus episode and after the BBC's Panorama ADHD clinics programme this week, I wanted to share as much practical and up-to-date information from Vicki George, a clinical specialist nurse, independent nurse prescriber and founder of The ADHD Nurse.

  • Who can diagnose ADHD?
  • How Vicki works as an ADHD clinical and prescriber nurse
  • The ADHD diagnosis process and the frustration with the NHS waiting lists
  • What happens to us with medication and titration after an ADHD
  • The referral and assessment process
  • Gaslighting ourselves with ADHD
  • Fears around medication
  • The support we can access from the NHS and privately
  • Red flags to look out for if we're questioning an ADHD diagnosis.
