I'm wondering if there are any adult neurodiversity psychiatrist specialists working in the UK.
So much of what I have found on-line relates to child specialists in the area of neurodiversity.
I am concerned that I am going to consult with someone who does not understand neurodiversity with all of its intricacies and that I will not receive appropriate medication.
I have been referred to the local NHS mental health team and it feels like a lot is riding on getting a correct diagnosis and appropriate medication.
Unfortunately I have been around in loops in the mental health service and I have received incorrect diagnosis and treatment.
They had also completely overlooked the possibility that I have autism (until I paid for a private adhd
assessment and it was flagged up as autism being a strong potential and I believe I've got some adhd overlapping traits).
I am now in my 50's so you can see where my distrust comes from.
I'm willing to pay privately for a specialist if I get no joy from my local services.
Do such specialists exist in the UK? Anyone used this kind of service.
Thank you.
