Dr David Orton
Consultant Psychiatrist | MRCP(UK) MRCPsych
David is a member of both the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists and takes an holistic view of health. He is passionate about creating optimum health through healthy eating and lifestyle, reducing dependence on medication alone to manage symptoms, and often reducing or eliminating side effects.
After more than 30 years as a senior consultant in the NHS he is now working as an independent Consultant to bring the benefits of holistic medicine and psychiatry to a wider public.
​
His interest in neurodiversity and ADHD was increased when two of his grandchildren were diagnosed with ADHD and ASD, and he recognized ADHD traits in himself. He is convinced that ADHD is often overlooked and misdiagnosed, particularly when other mental health conditions are present.
Accurate diagnosis and management can be life-changing and he has seen many patients whose lives have been transformed when ADHD has been diagnosed and managed appropriately.
