Episode 65: All you need to know about an ADHD Assessment, Diagnosis, Medication and Titration with Vicki George
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.
I liked this response from The ADHD Foundation further to the BBC documentary if you're looking for more help.
