Adhd private assessments

I just found a company for assessment they say no profit organisation charging 600 for adhd assessment I get my daughter to check it out and if legit I'm going private if you go private is it taken seriously as a diagnosis

You need to make sure any assessment done mentions "NICE guidelines" and "gold standard"

That does sound on the 'cheap' side - about half the price!

Check in with your GP first to see if they will support a private diagnosis. Not all will.

If they will support it, you can then get any meds prescribed on the NHS. If the gp will not support it, there is an option to buy your prescriptions from the private clinic and pay for any meds privately.

** - sorry i'm not sure what i wrote was clear

If your gp WILL support a private diagnosis - get a private diagnosis done and a copy goes to your gp. Then your gp can prescribe meds via nhs.

If your gp will not support it - it means that you will not be able to get prescribed meds via nhs but could buy them privately.
