Susan L. Dunn Morua | 08.07.2009 19:08 | Education | Health | Social Struggles | Oxford | South Coast

We are asking the Prime Minister to ensure that NHS service provisions and funding arrangements for services for adults with ADHD are reviewed and revised urgently

Would you be interested in signing the petition which we (AADD-UK) have placed on the 10 Downing Street website and then forwarding it to others who might find it relevant. We don’t usually send out emails like this, but this is so important that we felt it was necessary to contact everybody and if it isn’t relevant please accept our apologies and disregard this email.

Here is a link to the full petition:
 http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/adhdadults/

 http://www.drhallowell.com/resources/index.html

If we can get 500 or more signatures, the petition will be either sent to officials who work for the Prime Minister in Downing Street, or will be sent to the Department of Health for a response so we are asking you to read the petition, and if you agree with it, to sign it, and then forward this email to anyone else who might be interested. More than 500 signatures increases the amount of attention the Government will pay to the petition and will help them learn about ADHD.

Note: if you sign the petition, you will be sent an email asking you to confirm that you want your name to be added by clicking a link within the email. It's possible that this email could land in your spam filters or junk mail folders, so please check these if you do not get a confirmation email.

And please let us know if we can be of further assistance to you.

Kind regards,

Susan

Let the people with ADHD decide what works for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a person has ADHD as their sole diagnosis then, therapy and or alternative healing such as theta dna and or a healthy diet and or good excercise may work for some people with ADD / ADHD, many people with the condition do also need stimulants like Adderall or Dexedrine. In around 1920 these were completely legal substances with no need for a prescription.

The USA are much more realistc in their approach to treatment options when compared to the UK. In the UK there is only one Medicine licenced in the British National Formulary [BNF], and it is only licenced for children and in general terms the NHS has very little or more often no training or experience of people with ADD / ADHD.

These issues leave alot of potential for accidental malpractice by perhaps unknowingly mis-diagnosing or underprescribing for Adults or Children with ADD / ADHD.

NHS UK - WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, OR COCA TEA IF YOU PREFER !
