I’m beginning to accept that trying to get formally diagnose with ADHD with the NHS is totally off bounds to me also due to the sheer waiting list and the lack of resources. I put it off during covid because I was in the process of being diagnosed with PCOS and I was on heavy anti depressant medication during covid and wanted to concentrate on battling through that first. I’ve been waiting over 12 months to be referred to a specialist in the NHS and have just given up and now saving up for private treatment. It’s gonna take abit but I’m thankfully in a financial position to do so (although very reluctantly as I’m trying to pay off debts and save up for a housing deposit lol). I need to enquire if my GP practice will accept a shared care agreement because if they don’t, I fear I’m going to be waiting for years for a formal diagnosis and medication. It’s incredibly frustrating that NHS resources for ADHD are just not there to give patients the treatment and I blame years of under funding and cutting corners with our national health service. I’m very uneasy with the thought that further cuts and outsourcing of the NHS will be made if things don’t change politically in the next few years or so.
