Long waits for ADHD diagnosis and treatment - share your experience
Jo Griffin replied to Patient-Safety-Learning's topic in Conditions
My now 33 yo daughter has just joined the NHS waiting list in Cambridgeshire after first being diagnosed with BPD around 7 years ago. Private therapy has led her to think ADHD may be the correct (or dual) diagnosis. It's heart breaking to consider all of the suffering that goes on whilst waiting to find a correct and complete diagnosis; not suggesting that the correct diagnosis is a quick fix but assuming that she may wait years to find out ADHD may not be the correct diagnosis then it'll be back to the bottom of another queue. Looking at the other posts it's obvious that if only we could get this right when children experience difficulties we could do so much to improve the outcome of people, families, society, and education and healthcare providers.
