Around two-thirds of young people with ADHD will continue to experience symptoms into adulthood. The service provides medication reviews until age 18, after which the Norfolk adult ADHD service takes over, with transition planning starting around age 16.
We will continue to see young people to review their ADHD medication until they are 18. Your final appointment will be on or around your 18th birthday, but we should be talking about transitioning from around the age of 16.
In Norfolk, there is an adult ADHD service that sees people from 18 years old onwards and they will continue to review your medication. More details about the Adult ADHD Service can be found on the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation NHS Trust website.
We have developed a transition leaflet and pack which goes through transitioning in more detail and looks at some frequently asked questions.
This Royal College of Psychiatrists webpage has an explanation of what ADHD is, some useful self-help tips, and suggestions for books about ADHD.
