Common issues & difficulties

The main conditions we manage at NECP include (but are not limited to):

• ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder). Dr Gilder and NECP are committed to providing a robust and comprehensive ADHD assessment, which involves multiple steps. Find out more here.

• ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). This is sometimes called Social Communication Disorder or high functioning ASD, and used to be called Asperger’s syndrome.

• Anxiety Disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

• Depression.

• Self-harm.

• Other mood disorders (eg bipolar affective disorder).

• Tic disorders and Tourette’s Syndrome.

• Psychosis.

• Sleep disorders (normally as part of a neurodevelopmental disorder such as ADHD or ASD but occasionally as part of a mood or anxiety disorder or due to psychosis).

• Emerging personality difficulties.

• Behaviours that challenge normally as part of a neurodevelopmental disorder such as ADHD or ASD or as a consequence of early life trauma.

There are also conditions which we may be involved in, but where we should also have the involvement of other specialists.  These include:

• Eating Disorders.

• Substance use difficulties, including alcohol, cannabis, stimulants and sedatives.

• Mental health difficulties as part of specific learning difficulties / borderline or mild learning disability.
