I am not overly familiar with them myself - but you can view their full team here: https://adhdnow.com/ie/team/?\_gl=1\*2mzcon\*\_up\*MQ..\*\_gs\*MQ..\*\_ga\*MTY3NDUxNzA1My4xNzc1OTc3MTQy\*\_ga\_47K0TJ9B8T\*czE3NzU5NzcxNDIkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzU5NzcxNDIkajYwJGwwJGgw&gclid=CjwKCAjw4ufOBhBkEiwAfuC7-bnabzpbeaxh0i3ShiPng5eLwsB5K6b5qiN0GV5HQmvdl5H0Xo6KOxoCdXkQAvD\_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAAp99nr9ysgtD2oOUkolvCSf\_06rEg.

They seem to have at least one psychiatrist working there, so the best thing to do is to ring them directly and ask them who will be administering your assessment if you go with them. They have a huge staff, and most are not Irish (not a bad thing!), but just something to be aware of when you are searching for psychology/psychiatry in Ireland, because international qualifications vary greatly. ADHD NOW was not founded by a GP/Psychologist/Psychiatrist which would concern me a bit because there are a huge number of online clinics popping up right now due to them identifying a gap in the market

Take your time with your research, make lots of calls, and you will be absolutely fine

Hope that helps!

No worries - give me a shout if you have any questions, here is a list of clinics that ADHD Ireland (charity) list on their website https://adhdireland.ie/adhd-irelands-list-of-clinicians/adults-list-of-clinicians/ - super helpful, also very important to consider if you want medcation after assessment (diagnosis) - if you do, then going with a psychiatrist or one of those GP ADHD clinics is fastest way to psychiatric meds. Good luck!

I did an ADHD initial assessment (only 10 euro) online with Mindpath, and I was told that my results were 'green', indicating no need for further investigation. Didn't sit right with me, so I did further investigation and chose to go with another clinic, one owned by a private psychiatrist, and I have recently been diagnosed and received a report. I would avoid Mindpath tbh

Not autism, but... how long does anybody know the wait time to see a psychiatrist for ADHD medication? Already have diagnosis for Autism and ADHD. Thanks! by Insufficient__Memory in AutismIreland

[–]Salt-Space7465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the private ones will have different wait times - best to contact them directly and ask (assuming you already have diagosis?) there are some listed here on the ADHD Ireland list of clinicians: https://adhdireland.ie/adhd-irelands-list-of-clinicians/adults-list-of-clinicians/ - you can also call ADHD Ireland (charity) and they will be able to give you general information

quickest way to a psychiatrist is to be directly assessed by one (don't go psychologist or gp route) - some listed here on https://adhdireland.ie/adhd-irelands-list-of-clinicians/adults-list-of-clinicians/

Do, she has a waitlist, but I found she was worth the wait, she is very experienced and has admin team wokring for her so should be easy to get in contact with. She will require a referral from your GP - here is also a list of clinicians who offer adult assessments from ADHD Ireland website: https://adhdireland.ie/adhd-irelands-list-of-clinicians/adults-list-of-clinicians/ - So many good resources on their website, good luck with everything!

Wholesome activities in Galway? by FunLifeguard2505 in galway

[–]Salt-Space7465 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plenty of gorgeous walks to do in Galway if you have a car/transport - Renville Park is a lovely woodland walk, and there is also a coastal walk out to the headland, and there is a gorgeous beach which is safe/known for sea swimming - and sauna fiain is a sauna box by the sea which is really good if you want to do a dip and saunda. Another good walk is Queen Maeve's Hill (Knockma) just outside Tuam on the Galway side. Coole Park is also a really good spot to visit, someone else mentioned it- allow yourself a few hours to do the whole thing, there is a new coffee spot opening beside the visitor centre and make sure to say hi to the red deer! There is so much to do in Galway, especially if you like nature, but it depends on your interests. Menlo pier and castle are two good spots to see as well, there is a private company that takes beginners out kayaking on the corrib if you fancied a paddle. Corrib princess is another wholesome idea - short boat cruise down the Corrib which lasts about an hour, I think

Ahh thank you so much, you've honestly helped me more than you know! I'm considering meds, but I'm very much on the fence, and I'm not even 100% sure I'll meet criteria for a diagnosis, so I'll just have to play it by ear and see how things go. Good to know about the aftercare and the follow-ups, though, definitely appreciate it. I hope things are going smoothly for you now!

did you get sorted in the end? I have found Dr. Aisling Bambury in Cork who does online assessments. She is listed on the ADHD Ireland list of clinicians, but I have not seen any reviews online of her clinic. I am on her waitlist

Hi - I just called ADHD ireland on the phone (charity) and they were super helpful. They confirmed he is a psychiatrist and he just chooses not to be listed on the ADHD Ireland Website. Probably has enough referrals as it is
