I live in the North West so any recommendations in this area? Or near as possible.
What kind of money would I be I need to get a private diagnosis?
Also I was looking at ADHD centre Liverpool/Manchester. Have an appointment with CMHT (again) but my OH is going to come and speak on my behalf.
This is because GPS etc won't listen to me cause I stray and ramble when talking so OH will make them listen I hope.
But If this don't work ,well it has to be private route.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice .

Hello, Can really identity with your problem!!!. Having the same trouble
myself ,gp's cant see pass previous addiction probs, keep getting fobbed
With all sorts of excuses when asking for refferals. Was having a dual
dianosis ,discharged because I'm "chaotic" !!! Going around in circles with
The whole lot. I suspect a lot of information sharing between services
which in turn is hampering getting a diagnosis.
SH75 😤😤😤😤
After all of the above and 3 psychiatric nurses later I finally got a mental health professional to listen to me.
See the problem is when these processionals get your notes there's a big history of abuse (drugs) etc.
Nowhere does it say your clean two years and doing well!! They seem to be more worried you are trying to scam meds!!!!!!
So finally have it in writing that I am going for a DX ,man I'm happy and so is my OH. Even though its with NHS and they stressed a couple of months wait, at least I know its happening .
I've lived with myself all these years another cpl of months won't make a difference.
Will keep you posted on how it goes and will share the information on the service.

Hello, Wow 5 years!!! I'm nearly 5 months into looking for a referral in Tameside, At the moment i'm having a dual diagnosis with a drug treatment agency and they tell me that the ADHD specialist is aware of my case but thats all i know so far. This has all come on the back of a string of arguments with g.p's ,M.H. workers at Tameside hospital and my arrest in February (tbh not the best route).So if i can get Dx from all this bring it on!!!!. Hope you get seen to soon cause 5 yrs is just crazy!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed for everyone seeking a Dx or trying to find out more about themselves, hang in there !!!!!!!!! SH75

Hi, I thought that program with Rory Bremner was pretty interesting, a few things hit home for me, my OH thought it was very good and it highlighted a few things she puts up with 24/7 with me!!!!!!!!!

Hello!!, Yes I went and spoke to 3 gp's so far,not really said too much yet about ADHD to them, because they seem to think I was having a seasonal hissy fit/msanic episode. So I don't intend to waste anymore time with them. But it also got me referred to a psychiatrist, a really nice man (on phone )that i triedto explaina little to. He has told me about a new ADHD service in my area. So I'm back this week with head gp of practice to talk about issues I have with the surgery. On the 17th I have a face to face with psychiatrist, regardless of how it goes with gp. So that little bit closer. Will be able to post about the service once I have more info. If anyone can advise on keeping a diary, would be a massive help. I really haven't aclue where to start Thanks!!!!!!!! SH75 😀😁😀 marionk , I know its weird what happened with those promazine meds, can't explain only they sent me higher than I usually am! Same with mitazapine I was on, supposed to have sedative effects really didn't help either

Hi people !!
Seroxtat would have caused a lot of adverse effects, my partner was on them an stopped, wasn't pretty !!!!!
I don't like those SSRI type things, (besides they don't work for me) I think Gp's are too quick to hand them out to anyone who presents with "mood" issues.
Tbh when I use stimulants they actually calm me down ,I'm more together on them (sometimes!!!!) Downers send me up ,stims more or less relax my head!!!! But imagine telling this to a gp!!!!!!
So point being, the seroxtat probably did more harm than good!!!😀

Went in and coludent sit ,so I think i may of come across a little aggressive/manic ?? See I speak very fast and my accent is hard to understand which causes HUGE issues Back to the point!! He called the local CMHT and was trying to send the RAID team to my house!!!!! "Your not well SH75" would you like an ambulance!!!!!!!!! So I told my symptoms he banged away on the keyboard, so I don't really know what the actuall outcome is!!!! See he was hearing me but not f***kin listining (again!!!) Problem with this gp surgery is I feel I was profiled so they seem to think I'm down scamming meds!! Again '"listen not about meds doc" a little piece of mind is all I'm lookin for !! So no I front really know what came of it!!!! I think I might call CMHT to see what they're looking for, not a danger to myself or anyone else Soooo..... Will keep you all posted as it unfolds!!! SH75 Sorry access and liason team !!!!!!!!excuse me!!!!

For years been asked have I ADHD/hi polar or chemical imbalances Since I've stated researching everything is falling in place ,I mean situations I've been in that I put down to drugs (tbh) but nowq I know it wasn't, constant thinking talking ,zippin around the place doing this that and doing nothing at the same time??? Frustrated, for all the talking I do I don't really speak, a way to deflect? Answer a quwestin with a question ?? I couldn't communicate and keep it all in and would let it build UP and Up Till I snap and I'm left a tear faced snotty mess hiding under a blanket!!!! But all is not lost, these problems I was dismissing are me,forgetfulness, xlumbseyness rushing around doing 9 different things. I'm so happy that there is a fewason for it all,and not just a doped up mess!! This is the start of me trying to reverse 30yrs of blaming myself, feeling worthless and lost IM TAKING CONTROL BACK , if anyone knows what I'm taking about the you will know the joy and relief racxing through me!!!!!! Had it out with gp yesterday so I'm hoping for some movement on that front The lunatics have taken over the asylum!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEOPLE SH75

That's one of the reasons I hate speaking on the phone. . .get flustered, then don't know what they're saying and get more confused. . . then get off the phone (or hang up) and don't know what was said. It can happen face to face too. I've had to make another appointment with my GP to ask them what they said in my last appointment. Glad it turned out OK in the end
