Link please because I've looked and can't find


The Effra Clinic is excellent. https://effraclinic.co.uk

I used them after struggling for a long time trying to get diagnosed via the NHS (“you’re a successful young man! You can’t have ADHD!”) and have recommended them to several people.


for the UK, I found www.adhdcentre.co.uk which wants £895 for an online ADHD consultation, and the next appt is 7am tomorrow


I had success with donefirst.com
