If you’re trying to get an adult ADHD diagnosis in the UK, this video walks through the whole process step by step. I was assessed in 2013, so I’m sharing exactly what happened to me, how to get referred, what the NHS and private routes look like, and the information you’ll need for your assessment. In this video I answer the six questions people ask the most. 1. How to get an ADHD referral in the UK. 2. What the referral routes are for an ADHD assessment in the UK. 3. What information you need for an ADHD assessment. 4. What happens during an ADHD assessment. 5. What happens after the assessment. 6. What to do if you don't get the diagnosis you expected. Whether you think you might have ADHD, you’re already on a waiting list, or you support someone who is going through the process, this explains the practical steps clearly and honestly. If you’ve been through a UK ADHD assessment yourself, feel free to share your experience in the comments. It really helps others who are just starting the journey.
