I would highly recommend Eton Psychiatrists.
https://etonpsychiatrists.co.uk/about-us/
I am Scotland based too and used them after doing a lot of research. My GP surgery had zero issues accepting their diagnosis (given that some of the doctors here are lead clinicians at the prestigious South London and Maudsley NHS). I’d recommend Dr Hossein Rostamipour- he’s one of the best around in ADHD and ASD and consultant psychiatrist. I paid £1,395 which was very good considering the calibre of doctors here.
the assessment is quite detailed as you’d expect and lots of detail to fill in, as well as family members OR someone who knows you such as a partner in absence of this. The assessment meets the criteria outlined in DSM-5 / ICD-11. This is where people often don’t look and end up being assessed and having their diagnosis rejected by their GP. it’s a shame as people don’t often realise and shouldn’t be the ones having to research but there are genuine places out there providing quality assessments. You get another 2 hour interview and behaviour assessment which is part of the guidelines. I would 100% not hesitate to book here and would recommend to anyone who is finding the NHS impossible in their area. My GP also suggested some other places too however, this one ticks all the boxes.
