Adult ADHD Assessment Pathways
We understand how taking the first step towards getting a diagnosis can be overwhelming
We are here to provide guidance and support, as we know that choosing the path and knowing which option is best for you can be complex.
If you're navigating the process of getting a diagnosis, we aim to bring clarity to your journey and empower you to make the best choice for you.
Right To Choose Assessments
If you cannot access the NHS service within 18 weeks, use "Right to Choose."
This NHS policy in England allows patients more control over where they receive treatment, including ADHD assessments.
The NHS covers the cost, which can significantly reduce waiting times for an ADHD diagnosis.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence, and up to 2/3 continue into adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behaviour (extremely impulsive), and hyperactivity (over-activity). Over 60% of people diagnosed with ADHD may have an additional Co-morbid condition.

ADHD Assessment Pathway for Children
CAMHS or Pediatritian
NHS Assessment
Referral: This typically starts with a GP referral to a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, paediatrician (for children), or a specialist ADHD service.
Waiting Time: In some regions, NHS waiting lists can be long, sometimes extending to over a year.
Process: This includes interviews, questionnaires (for both the patient and those who know them well), and often, a review of medical and educational history.
Cost: Free, but may take significant time due to waiting lists.
Private ADHD Clinics
Private Assessment
Process: This is similar to the NHS process but often quicker. A psychiatrist or ADHD specialist will conduct interviews and assessments.
Cost: Can range from £900 to £1,500, depending on the provider and the complexity of the assessment.
Speed: Much quicker than NHS, often with an appointment available within a few weeks.
Assessment can be carried out online from home
