How to Get a Private ADHD Assessment in Sheffield

Adults with adult ADHD may be referred to a private ADHD assessment by a psychiatrist. The costs of private assessment can range from PS500 to PS800. A half-hour consultation with a private psychiatrist can also be arranged over the phone. After the private psychiatrist has analyzed your case, the GP will issue a prescription for medication. You can get a copy of this prescription for your records and keep it for future reference.

NHS services for ADHD are generally limited, but the availability of private providers is increasing. It is important to make a formal request for help so that the NHS can allocate more resources. The Sheffield neurodevelopmental service offers this service. For those who do not have the resources to pay for private ADHD assessments, the NHS does offer a variety of support options. These services include post-diagnostic support, psychometric assessments, specialist counselling, and social skills groups.
