Confident ADHD Prescribing
Titration, monitoring and complex cases. A practical framework for the prescribing decisions that don't have a single right answer in the guideline.
The most persistent misconceptions about adult and late-diagnosed ADHD, taken apart properly. Not by declaring them wrong, but by asking why they feel reasonable and where they stop being so.
Why does this belief feel reasonable?
Where does it stop being reasonable?
What does current research show?
What genuinely remains unknown?
Apply a four-question framework (rational core, overgeneralisation, current evidence, genuine uncertainty) to any ADHD misconception you meet in clinic, including your own.
Recognise how referral bias and masking keep many women out of the diagnostic pathway until adulthood.
Separate visible success from internal impairment, so that achievement alone doesn't close an assessment early.
Discuss the overdiagnosis debate with patients and colleagues without either dismissing it or conceding to it.
Explain the real cost of a late diagnosis, and why a single person's story, however compelling, can't settle a clinical question.
Prescribers involved in ADHD assessment or ongoing prescribing: GPs, psychiatrists, specialist nurses, pharmacists and other prescribing clinicians working to UK guidance.
