• What treatments does Dr Joshua offer?

  Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD -Mainly) and other common mental health conditions.

• What approaches does Dr Joshua offer for adult ADHD assessments?

  He offers both virtual and face-to-face appointments, however, virtual appointment availability may be easier than face-to-face availability.

  He will offer an initial assessment to ascertain a detailed review of your symptomology and ask questions pertinent to symptoms of ADHD as well as taking a more general psychiatric history and asking about other co-morbidities such as depression and anxiety. Initial assessments are online and typically last 90 minutes with 30 minutes afterwards which he uses to produce an in-depth report for his patients.

  At the follow-up appointment, he will usually offer medication and explain in detail the benefits and side effects of medication as well as how this will be monitored. This is typically 30 minutes in length and will include a monthly prescription of medication with monthly reviews till the medication dose is optimised.

  At our end of titration review, he will send a Shared Care Agreement to your GP so that your GP is able to continue prescribing medication on the NHS with annual reviews/follow-ups with himself or another specialist experienced in adult ADHD to ensure your medication dose is optimised.

  Dr Joshua is registered and recognised as a specialist with the major health insurance companies.
