How to Know If You Need an Adult ADHD Assessment ?

Many adults in Manchester seek a formal assessment because they experience persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life, such as:
^
Ongoing difficulty concentrating or staying on task
^
Chronic disorganisation and "time blindness"
^
Restlessness or constant mental hyperactivity
^
Impulsivity and difficulty with self-control
^
Emotional regulation challenges
^
Underperformance at work or university despite high ability
Adult ADHD is often overlooked in childhood. A structured Adult ADHD assessment in Manchester can help determine whether your symptoms align with neurodiversity or if another condition may better explain your challenges.

What Happens During an Adult ADHD Assessment?

Understanding what happens in an ADHD assessment can help you feel more confident about taking the next step. Our Consultant-led ADHD assessment process is designed to deliver an accurate adult ADHD diagnosis and personalised treatment recommendations.

Step 1

Online Booking

Patients begin by booking the Nurse ADHD Registration & Screening appointment (£99) via our website. This is the first step in your ADHD assessment journey.

Step 2

Pre-Assessment Questionnaires

Patients complete structured questionnaires and background information to help inform the clinical assessment.

Step 3

Nurse ADHD Pre-Assessment

Your £99 Registration & Screening appointment is conducted by a Mental Health Nurse. This includes:

– Review of symptoms and history
– Review baseline physical observations (blood pressure, pulse, weight)
– Review of relevant medical history

Following this appointment, patients will be informed whether they are suitable to proceed to the full Consultant Psychiatrist assessment. The £99 fee is credited in full towards the cost of the full assessment.

Step 4

Consultant Psychiatrist Assessment

Patients who wish to proceed following the screening stage can then book the full Consultant Psychiatrist assessment. The remaining balance of £596 is payable at this stage.

This assessment includes:

– Full psychiatric history
– Developmental history
– Functional impact assessment
– Differential diagnosis

Not all patients will receive a diagnosis following the initial consultation.

Shared Care & Ongoing Prescribing

Where possible, we will request a Shared Care Agreement with your NHS GP once medication has been stabilised.

However, we recognise that some GP practices may decline shared care.

In these situations, Prestige Private Health can continue private prescribing and ongoing clinical monitoring to ensure continuity of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ADHD Registration & Screening appointment?
The ADHD Registration & Screening is the first step in your assessment journey, conducted by a qualified Mental Health Nurse. During this appointment, your symptoms, history, and baseline health checks (blood pressure, pulse, weight) will be reviewed. The £99 fee for this appointment is fully credited toward the cost of your full Consultant Psychiatrist assessment if you choose to proceed.
How much does the full ADHD assessment cost?
The full Consultant Psychiatrist ADHD assessment is £695 (reduced from £895). As the £99 Registration & Screening fee is credited toward this, the remaining balance payable when booking your full assessment is £596.
Are ADHD assessments conducted online?

Yes. Most ADHD assessments are completed remotely, allowing patients to access specialist care from anywhere in England.

Can I Have an Online ADHD Assessment Anywhere in the UK?

Yes. We provide secure online ADHD assessments for adults across the UK through confidential video consultations, making it easier to access expert diagnosis and treatment from the comfort of your home.

How quickly can I get an ADHD assessment in the North West?
We aim to offer appointments significantly faster than local NHS wait times. Contact us for our current availability.
Will my Manchester GP accept your diagnosis?
We follow the same NICE guidelines as the NHS. While we provide a high-standard report, we always recommend checking your GP’s policy on private “Shared Care” before booking.
Is this service suitable for students?
Yes. We frequently support university students in Manchester who require formal diagnostic clarification for educational support.
What clinical standards do you follow when prescribing medication?
All prescribing is strictly conducted within GMC (General Medical Council) and NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidance. This ensures that every prescription meets the highest UK standards for safety, ethics, and clinical effectiveness.
What happens if I am not diagnosed with ADHD?
Not everyone assessed will receive an ADHD diagnosis. Our Consultant Psychiatrist will carry out a comprehensive clinical evaluation. If ADHD is not diagnosed, you will receive a detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations for alternative support where appropriate.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral is required. Patients can book an ADHD assessment directly with Prestige Private Health.

However, we recommend informing your GP if you are seeking an ADHD assessment, particularly if you hope to request a shared care agreement in the future.

What happens during the ADHD assessment?
The assessment is conducted by a Consultant Psychiatrist and usually lasts up to two hours.

It includes:

• detailed psychiatric history
• childhood and developmental history
• review of symptoms and functional impact
• screening for other possible conditions

The assessment follows recognised clinical standards for ADHD diagnosis.

Will I definitely receive medication if I am diagnosed with ADHD?
Not necessarily.

Medication may be recommended if ADHD is diagnosed and if it is considered clinically appropriate. Some patients may benefit from other interventions such as behavioural strategies or psychological support.

All treatment decisions are made collaboratively between the patient and the clinician.

What medications are used to treat ADHD?
Several medications may be used to treat ADHD. These are prescribed only following a full assessment and discussion of risks and benefits.

Treatment is started at a low dose and carefully adjusted during a structured titration period.

How long does medication titration take?
Medication titration typically takes several weeks while the clinician identifies the most effective dose with minimal side effects.

Patients will have follow-up consultations during this period to monitor response to treatment.

What monitoring is required if I start ADHD medication?
Before starting medication, baseline checks are completed, including:

• blood pressure
• pulse
• weight

During treatment these measurements will be monitored regularly to ensure medication remains safe and effective.

What happens if my GP declines shared care?
While many GPs accept shared care arrangements, some practices may decline.

If shared care is not available, Prestige Private Health can continue to provide private prescribing and clinical follow-up.

Can I switch from another ADHD clinic?
Yes. Patients who have previously been diagnosed with ADHD elsewhere may book a review consultation with our Consultant Psychiatrist.

Documentation of the previous diagnosis will usually be required.

Do you offer remote consultations?
Yes. Consultant Psychiatrist assessments are typically conducted remotely using secure video consultation platforms.

Some pre-assessment checks may be carried out in person where appropriate.

Can I travel with ADHD medication?
Some ADHD medications are controlled drugs and may require documentation if travelling internationally.

If needed, we can provide a letter confirming diagnosis and prescribed medication.

How is the service regulated and overseen?
We operate with full medical indemnity and robust governance oversight. This means our practice is fully insured and monitored through a formal clinical governance framework to maintain the highest levels of patient safety and professional accountability.
