Frequently asked questions...
-
Who will be doing the assessment?
-
Lee is our Lead Clinician. He has 20+ years clinical experience and is specifically qualified to assess and diagnose ADHD.
-
Where will the assessment take place?
-
If you choose to have a face-to-face assessment, the assessment will take place at an office in Llanelli (near the North Dock).
-
Does having an assessment guarantee a diagnosis?
-
No. The assessment is completed according to a strict set of NHS criteria. You will need to meet the criteria for the diagnosis of ADHD. If you don't meet the criteria, this means you may still have a number of traits consistent with ADHD. In this case we will still offer advice and guidance to try and help you manage going forward.
-
Does having a diagnosis mean I have to have medication?
-
Not at all. Some people want a diagnosis simply to understand why they've felt or acted a certain way and want support on how to manage.
-
Some people won't be able to have medication because of their medical history or because it would interact with medication they already take. In this case we will still offer advice and guidance to try and help you manage going forward.
