ADHD diagnosis is a long process IIRC, if it's anything like the Aspergers one was a decade ago. As for "treatment" there is no real treatment for these things IMHO, but the NHS does have some stuff:https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/diagnosis/ …
Hey #ADHD peeps in the UK! I have a couple of friends in London who suspect they might have ADHD but have no idea how to get diagnosed or medicated over there. How does one go about doing it all with your healthcare system? Comment with your best tips please!

My diagnosis was done over the course of a month, with a few different types of doctors (tests & interviews). Wasn't too long or difficult, but it was in Copenhagen. Am hoping things have improved in the UK in the past 10 years too! Treatment is ADHD meds and/or CBT. Pref both...

My GP told me it's the most oversubscribed area of diagnosis with a waiting list of 18 months (at least in my area, the North West). Diagnosis starts with filling out a simple survey from your GP which helps triage you. That's as far as I've ever really gotten.

Yep that was the same for me. I was told Stockholm had a waiting list of 2 years... So I went to a specialised ADHD Clinic in Copenhagen instead, where I got an appointment within a month. Is there some sort of equivalent over there?

I'm recently diagnosed and as others have mentioned, it's a long arduous process via the NHS. Went to GP who referred me to local services who put on 18 month waiting list for assessment. Chose to go costlier but faster route and found a private consultant with shared care plan
-
Ok thank you! How long did your private process take you?
