Psychologists can assess and diagnose ADHD, but they cannot prescribe medication. If you want to try medication after getting a diagnosis, you will need to see a Psychiatrist. Some Psychiatrists may want to do their own assessment before giving medication, even if you already have a diagnosis from a Psychologist. Others may accept the Psychologist’s diagnosis—but this is not always guaranteed. GPs cannot prescribe stimulant medication unless a psychiatrist has seen you first. After that, your GP may be able to manage your medication, but only if the Psychiatrist gives them a letter or report recommending it. If you do not already have a Psychiatrist and are thinking about medication, it might be easier to see a Psychiatrist first. This could save you time and money by avoiding a second assessment. Seeing a Psychologist for an ADHD assessment can still be very helpful. These assessments give a detailed understanding of your strengths and challenges, including recommendations for support and referral pathways.
