ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment in Spain

ADHD diagnosis in Spain is at the stage the UK was at about a decade ago. Underdiagnosed in adults, patchy access depending on which region you live in, a public system that is mostly built around children, and a private sector that is starting to catch up but does not signpost itself well in English. If you have arrived in Spain with a UK diagnosis, you will probably be told you need a fresh one before any Spanish doctor writes you a stimulant prescription. If you are figuring it out as an adult for the first time, finding a clinic that does a proper adult assessment in English is harder than it should be. We are pulling together every English speaking ADHD provider in Spain, from Guttmann in Barcelona to the smaller psychiatry clinics in Marbella and Valencia. We want to know who takes adult patients seriously, who will continue a UK prescription with a sensible review, who handles the school paperwork for children, and what each step actually costs. The medication side matters too. Spain prescribes some brands the UK does not and vice versa. Switching from Elvanse to Concerta to a Spanish equivalent is a conversation worth understanding before you sit in the appointment. Email below and you will be the first to see the directory.
