Hi Carl.
I'm UK also. Don't think a great deal of the Maudsley.
I recently got an appt for ADD @ ADDENBROOKE'S NHS TRUST (Adult ADHD Clinic)
HILLS RD,
CAMBS,
CB2 2QQ.They have a specialist Adult ADHD Clinic. The psychatrist destined to treat me has written 3 times; I am impressed by his persistence; it makes a refreshing change!
I couldn't suffer the NHS waiting lists (not *too* long) & hopped on a plane to the US where I was offered 4 different stims. You'll most likely only be offered Ritalin & then only if you satisfy their dx criteria by way of filling out reams of questionaires.
Don't be disheartened tho'-definitely worth asking yr GP for a referral. Go private if you can afford it. Good luck.
J.
(just ask if you need any more details)
