Why ADHD Psychiatrists?
ADHD isn’t just about focus — it’s about your brain, your history, your patterns. A psychiatrist is the only professional in the UK legally qualified to diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication. If you're looking for clarity, treatment, or just someone who actually gets it, this is where you start.
Not every psychiatrist is trained in adult ADHD. That’s why we’ve hand-picked only those with real clinical experience in ADHD — especially in adults who’ve gone undiagnosed for years, misdiagnosed with anxiety, or written off as “lazy” or “overthinkers.”
Why These Psychiatrists?
Because the graft is done for you. We’ve filtered out the endless clinic directories, marketing, and outdated NHS lists. The psychiatrists listed here are:

What to Expect When You Work With a Specialist ADHD Psychiatrist
Getting help doesn’t need to feel clinical, Here's what happens:
A Short Pre-Assessment
Many clinics begin with a screener (like ASRS) or basic intake forms. These aren't diagnostic tools — they just help guide the initial conversation.
The Full Assessment
- Your life history
- Traits, symptoms, and struggles
- Other overlapping conditions (anxiety, depression, ASD)
- Diagnostic criteria based on DSM-5
Diagnosis + Options
If you meet the criteria, you’ll receive:
- A written diagnostic report (within 1–2 weeks)
- Treatment pathways (medication, therapy, or both)
- Help navigating next steps (e.g. titration, shared care)
What No One Tells You
- Diagnosis alone can be validating — even without meds
- Many GPs will only take over prescriptions with a shared care plan
- “Quick fix” or 20-minute assessments are red flags
- Follow-ups and reports can sometimes mean extra fees
