Private services
Compare medication reviews, ADHD titration, talking therapies and follow-up, including where shared care may fit.
An assessment and a course of treatment are separate decisions. You can discuss continuing care with PsychCare or another provider.
A medication review considers the reason for treatment, your experience of taking it, benefits, unwanted effects and relevant health information.
Keep a note of current medicines and questions for the clinician. They can explain options, monitoring and follow-up; changes should be agreed with the professional responsible for your treatment.
Titration is the process of finding an appropriate ADHD medicine and dose through specialist review of its effects and tolerability.
Where medication is appropriate, clarify the assessment information needed, monitoring arrangements and review costs before starting. Pace and outcome vary; no fixed medicine, dose or timescale is assumed.
Psychological therapy offers a space to explore difficulties and work towards agreed goals. The approach depends on the concerns being addressed and your preferences.
Approaches listed by the clinic include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy and family therapy. Confirm suitability, availability and the practitioner before arranging sessions.
Follow-up appointments provide an opportunity to review progress, discuss changes and revisit the care plan after assessment or treatment has begun.
Keep a note of benefits, difficulties or changing needs. Confirm the frequency of reviews, responsibilities for each part of care and associated fees before arranging follow-up.
Shared care involves agreed responsibilities between a specialist and a GP or another clinician, such as prescribing and monitoring once treatment is established.
It depends on the agreement of the professionals involved and is not automatic. Ask how prescribing, monitoring and specialist reviews would continue if shared care is agreed or if it is unavailable.
Sleep, routines, activity, relationships and everyday demands can be considered alongside clinical treatment when planning support.
Practical goals and the support already available to you can shape these conversations alongside assessment, psychological therapy or medication where appropriate.
