ADHD: Private clinics exposed by BBC undercover investigation

Frankly the BBC have been really irresponsible here- this is potentially going to hurt a lot of people with ADHD who have a private diagnosis, either due to self-doubt or due to others dismissing their struggles as 'not a REAL diagnosis'.

There's a good ongoing thread on Twitter about this, written by a neuroscientist who has some serious concerns about the situation: twitter.com/.../1658113052691124226

Yes, I agree there needed more context.

They are right to point out this malpractice and the crisis in getting an NHS assessment which is allowing dodgy providers to survive. This is scandalous, but I think they should have given some context about how ADHD can impact on people and emphasized that there are good private practices and the right support out there too, perhaps with advice to the public in what to look for when choosing one.
