This week we're talking about Sparky's story with trying to get an ADHD assessment on the NHS in the UK. There's been a few set backs and we felt is was important to discuss this for anyone who's in a similar situation who wants to know, and would like to go down the route of using the NHS for getting your ADHD assessment.

Shell also updates on how she's getting on with the NHS currently and what's it's been like for her.

 All these are our own thoughts and are in now way directed at the NHS as a whole, we are both aware the NHS do wonderful things in many areas of health care and we are positive there are some success stories (if you have any success stories please email us below)  Our story should in no way dissuade you from using the NHS or cloud your judgement on your decision to use the NHS  for an ADHD assessment should you need to pursue a diagnosis for anything mental health related.
