Message from my friend:
She can be asked to be referred to Psychiatry-Uk as part of her right to choose, they will agree a shared care pathway with her GP. Psy-uk has all the details in their website. Good luck

Surprised not more chatter in this thread. Is it still taboo / stigma?

36mg now, small changes happening that I think count as progress. Training still on back burner really.

Meds didn't affect my training other than positively to help with consistency. I lost weight. I have stopped meds due to side effects. I have gained weight. I'm more mindful of the fog that causes interruptons to training so consistency has mostly remained but a few more blips. I might start different meds, tbc.

I have OCD traits too, one of which is around pre-race prep. Tonight I've been going in circles with multiple lines of thoughts / tasks and am now left with <5.5 hrs sleep window ahead of race alarm tomorrow but my mind is still firing on all cylinders.

Fistbump to all who experience similar. Upto 1 in 5 people they reckon now.

Got something to say?

Someone I know is being referred by their GP for ADHD. Apparently, and not surprisingly, there is a very long waiting list (six years?!) to be seen

Has anyone on here any experience please of private companies who are legit and recognised by the NHS?
