But I'm from Northern Ireland and no one here actually specialises in it, so I had to see a private psychiatrist in London. It cost £500 but it was worth it. You should be able to see a psych on the NHS if you live in England/Scotland/Wales though.
wblastyn, how do you get diagnosed for ADHD? I think I might have a mild form of it. What medicaiton do you take? Adderall?
I take methylphenidate 3 times per day. You can get slow release versions that last all day, but I didn't find them as good.
Adderall isn't actually available in the UK (or Europe AFAIK). The closest is Dexedrine, which makes up 75% of Adderall. I didn't find it as helpful though.
