How the ADHD pathway works
We keep the process simple, from first assessment to specialist input, medication stabilisation and ongoing review.
1
Teleconsultation
Book a general medical teleconsultation if you think you may have ADHD, or a medication review if you already have a diagnosis.
2
Medical review
We assess symptoms, history, past medication and supporting documents if you already take ADHD treatment.
3
Fast-track psychiatry
If ADHD is suspected, psychiatry performs the deeper assessment, confirms the diagnosis and defines the treatment plan.
4
Monthly follow-up
If psychiatry has recommended a medication and dose and it is working well, we can continue with monthly repeat prescriptions. If there are side effects, poor effect or a dose issue, the patient can book a medical consultation with us to review and adjust treatment appropriately.

Open pageQuestions and answers about ADHD
Difficulty concentrating, chronic disorganisation, impulsivity, restlessness and feeling mentally overloaded are some common reasons people ask for an ADHD assessment. These symptoms alone do not confirm ADHD, which is why the first step is a proper medical review.
If you are not yet diagnosed, the route starts with a general medical teleconsultation. If your history suggests that ADHD is likely, we arrange a fast-track psychiatry assessment for the formal diagnosis and treatment plan.
If you already have a diagnosis and supporting documentation, we can review your treatment, discuss how you are doing, and guide you through medication review and repeat prescription pathways where appropriate.
Repeat prescriptions make most sense once psychiatry has set the medication plan and the dose is stable and working well. If the patient is doing well on that dose, monthly repeat prescriptions can continue with follow-up.
If there are side effects, poor response, or the dose does not feel right, the patient should book a medical consultation with us. We review how they are evolving and whether treatment needs adjusting.
Yes. This service is useful for residents, expats and travellers who need clear English-speaking medical guidance about ADHD medication, diagnosis routes, treatment monitoring or repeat prescription support.
ADHD medication in Spain is a topic many English-speaking patients search for when they want to understand whether they may have ADHD, which medicines are used in treatment, and how the diagnosis process works. This page is designed to make that pathway easier to understand for patients who are already diagnosed and for patients who are only beginning to ask questions about symptoms such as poor concentration, impulsivity, disorganisation and restlessness.
If a patient thinks they may have ADHD, the first step should be a general medical teleconsultation. During that appointment, we review symptoms, history and relevant background information. If the picture suggests that ADHD may be likely, we arrange a fast-track psychiatry route so that a specialist assessment can confirm the diagnosis and define the treatment plan. Psychiatry is where the definitive diagnosis is made and where the medication strategy is established in more detail.
Once the patient has a diagnosis and treatment plan, follow-up becomes essential. ADHD medication often needs careful monitoring to make sure the response is good, the dose is suitable and the treatment fits daily life. That is why this page also explains the ongoing monthly follow-up pathway and how repeat prescriptions fit into longer-term care once the medication is stable. If the medicine is not working well enough or side effects appear, a further doctor review can be arranged.
Many patients also search by the exact name of the medication they already know, which is why this ADHD medication page links clearly to the individual pages for Elvanse, Vyvanse, Lisdexamfetamine, Methylphenidate, Concerta, Medikinet and Rubifen. This helps patients who search by active ingredient and patients who search by brand name find the most relevant page more quickly.
