please, please , please pass on the message. There is currently a 3 year waiting list for the Liverpool, Wirral and Cheshire area, who share 1 HNS assessor, for adult mental health assessments such as ADHD, dyslexia. foi currently lodged to see exactly what other conditions and number of assessors assigned. Thats after a lifetime of misdiagnosis and missed opportunities to help for many. Personally I've spent 15 years of presenting with what was clearly ADHD, now i know what ADHD is when the H is missing! Dragging over 45 years of ADHD history will still be hard to explain or mask without awareness by employers, course providers etc. But a 3 year wait, after stumbling on your own diagnosis for many, so treatment, support and medication can officially be offered to help people START a life is bordering on negligence. The cost of 1 NHS psychiatrist is @£75k and that alone would half a 3 year waiting list in the Liverpool, Wirral and Cheshire area! I highly doubt anyone could convince that the cost of that would NOT be offset by the costs of treating the destruction undiagnosed Mental Health conditions can bring. Petition: Review and fund improved diagnosis and treatment of ADHDPetition Review and fund improved diagnosis and treatment of ADHD The average wait time to get a diagnosis for ADHD in England is 104 weeks in some areas. Government should rethink and fund more services to spot ADHD sooner, bring diagnosis times down, help people with ADHD get back on track quickly and prevent strains on mental health and benefit systems.
