Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about assessment, treatment and ongoing care.
Assessment
No. You can book a private adult ADHD assessment directly, without a GP referral.
The assessment takes 90–120 minutes by secure video. You complete pre-assessment questionnaires beforehand.
Yes. Diagnostic feedback and a comprehensive written clinical report are included in your assessment fee. Your report will be provided within 7 working days following your completed assessment.
We will explain our clinical findings, explore other possible explanations for your difficulties and discuss appropriate next steps. We will also provide supporting documentation for you to share with your GP, so you can discuss any further assessment or support that may be helpful.
Yes, where a comprehensive remote assessment is clinically appropriate and enough information is available. Sometimes additional information or an in-person assessment is needed.
A diagnosis of ADHD requires consideration of symptoms in childhood. We may ask for developmental history and, where available, information from someone who knew you as a child.
Treatment
No. Medication is only offered when clinically suitable, following appropriate safety checks and discussion with you.
No. Medication, pharmacy dispensing and delivery costs are additional where applicable.
Our aim is to help you find a medication and dose that provide meaningful benefits while keeping side effects to a minimum. Reaching a stable, optimised treatment plan often takes at least three months, although this varies between individuals. Once your treatment is stable, we can approach your GP to request a shared care arrangement. If your GP accepts, they may take over issuing routine repeat prescriptions while specialist reviews continue as required. Shared care is entirely at your GP’s discretion and cannot be guaranteed. If they decline, we will explain your options for continuing private care and any associated costs.
Transfers, booking and fees
Yes. If you already have an ADHD diagnosis or are receiving treatment elsewhere, you can enquire about transferring your care to Clinical Minds. We will review your existing assessment report, treatment history, current medication, monitoring information and any relevant clinical records. We assess each transfer independently to confirm that the diagnosis and treatment plan are sufficiently documented and that we can safely meet your needs. In some cases, additional information or a further assessment may be needed before we can accept your care. A transfer is subject to clinical suitability.
Our appointments are delivered online across the UK for adults aged 18 and over, subject to clinical suitability.
Yes. Please see our cancellation and refund policy for notice periods and how refunds work before you book.
