I'm one of the private patients for ADHD diagnosis and triation, diagnosed in 2020 but I've just finished my triation process before transferring over to shared care with my NHS GP. I had a really supportive experience with my prescriber, who was very responsive to my questions and my worries. Even with the shortages in medication at the moment (Spring 2024), I was able to get the meds that I needed delivered to my house and to find the exact dose that works for me. I originally wasn't able to try meds in 2020 because I was overweight with high blood pressure, but I'm very glad that I tried again.

The medication prescriber has been lovely throughout the titration process. The weekly forms ensured that any side effects experienced weren't worrying ones and I was able to find a dosage that helps me focus better which I am genuinely grateful for especially bpwith being a university student who has been struggling with chronic procrastination.

I have had the pleasure of working with Psychiatry UK for my ADHD titration, and my experience has been exceptionally positive. From the initial consultation to ongoing support, the process has been streamlined and supportive. My pre-scriber, Rebecca Salazar, has been a cornerstone of this experience. She has been very supportive along the way. The initial consultation was really in-depth also with Waleed Ahmed. Really outstanding the whole process and treated as a human being and individual. It seems rare to find services like these, but I've really enjoyed going through this process with them.

The whole process has been so smooth and beyond helpful. When I came to Psychiatry UK, I was very lost and starting to feel hopeless, however after receiving my ADHD diagnosis, I felt seen and heard for the first time in my life. I cannot fault any of the staff, especially my prescriber Mina McDonald, she has been exceptional! Her helpful messages and reassurances along the way have been faultless. The portal was so easy to use and navigate and I was kept up to date at all times. The medication has changed my life and I'll be forever grateful for this service for giving me back quality of life.

Excellent service from diagnosis to end of titration. We used the service to get our 10year old son assessed for ADHD. The level of care we have received has been amazing. I would 100% recommend.

Was speedier than expected and all went smoothly. They don't give you false expectations about wait times. Was away for a few months and they managed to pause my titration, and always took the initiative to contact me. The prescriber was particularly helpful and always replied quickly. Calling reception on the phone is also quick and efficient.

I had my 8 year old daughter assessed for ADHD. For diagnosis of children, I would definitely not recommend this online service. It is vital that children are seen and observed in their setting, in person. We were given a diagnosis by a Psychiatry-uk consultant for our child of ADHD. We were advised that no signs of ASD were observed and probably not worth getting an assessment for ASD. We were offered medication, which luckily I did not follow up with because I did not feel qualified to oversee from home (as was suggested). It was then that I tried to move back to the NHS to get treatment. Cahms did not accept the diagnosis because the child was not seen in person, at school. They strongly felt that she did not have ADHD but instead had ASD. I found it very stressful to realise that my private assessment did not meet my local NHS requirements. We have just had a private ASD assessment which saw my child in person twice. This gave a diagnosis of ASD, and did not suggest following up with an ADHD assessment. To give Psychiatry-uk the benefit of the doubt, it may be that my child has both ADHD and ASD. But the point is that to properly assess a child, a professional needs to observe them in their own setting - not over zoom. And any assessment should meet the requirements of the NHS. The reason I gave 3 starts about feeling safe, is because I did not feel that handing over the supervision of such serious medication was a safe thing to do .
