Yes finally got the letter to back to see the psychiatrist. Oh it's been a long hot summer.
Had my brain scan. Done my time with the psychologist who interviewed my mum and wife. She has already ready said that I'm easily distracted and I find it difficult to get back on track.
This could be the ticket! Even though he's gonna DX he has said that he will not treat me but I'm gonna contest it.
Watch this space!!

Has he said why he will diagnose but not treat? It seems so pointless to get that far and not get any help.

Yea Kathmel that's right, he said so himself it's rare in his experience to treat an adult with Adhd inattention. It's the follow up care it is hit & miss with the drugs they use . Blood pressure and ecg. That's what he said.
I went to the patient's council about it they said to challenge him ask him to refer you out of trust.
I have a sister-in law who is a paharmist in the local hospital she said herself that for every 100 people turn up with Conditions there's only enough money to treat say 60 of them.
So let's look at it like this; 100 people turn up with dyslexia Dysprixia inattention tendencies 20 are palmed off told it's anxiety interfering with there attention
20 of are mild cases, told they are depressed given antidepressants & 6 CBT sessions.
The rest get treated with stims. That's how they save money!
It's just the same as my boss talking to me about being sufficient in my job & trying to reduce costs.
In the NHS case they just don't treat everyone unless you make a fuss. A fuss what I'm going to cause if he doesn't.

Blood pressure and ecg. That's what he said. That something is rarely treated is a strange argument for not treating it. I'm sure there are many, many things that are commonly treated now which were, at some point in the past, not commonly treated. And as for the meds, according to Professor Nutt (I think) ADHD meds are among the most statistically effective, so he's just wrong. So glad you're fighting this.
