I was assessed by a lovely doctor who diagnosed me with inattentive adhd. This is the validation i needed and first step towards learning to manage my condition. Something that should have happened as a child. Psychiatry uk are amazing for giving me this.
Excellent Psychiatrist and Nurse. Backlog is down to government funding so nothing they can do until we all rally round our NHS and get them their funding back!
Really helpful explaining each process and going through any questions I had. Helped talk through all the options at each stage in the titration as well.
Thank you for changing my life :)
I had two appointments, in the first appointment I felt the doctor was very dismissive and did not seem to believe that I had ADHD. I had to have a second appointment after my parents had filled out the informant report (as the doctor said my sibling was not allowed to fill it out despite the form saying siblings could). The second appointment lasted less than 10 minutes and I was immediately told I have ADHD. I was then told I can receive medication in 6-8 months, but was not advised at all on how to cope and manage with ADHD in the meantime. Also no asking how I was coping already ect.. The service felt rushed and 'tick boxing', it did not feel as though the assessment was anything more than the doctor just reading my parents notes and believing them, despite not having listened to me.
I feel a follow up appointment or for me to able to send and email would be useful as while I didn't get the diagnosis I expected my mind went blank and thought of things after the appointment that I could have discussed
There was some significant waiting time which could be quite frustrating but it's because they deliver professional care to clients/patients and it does require time.
Today I had an assessment with Dr Sajjad Sadiq who was such a lovely informative man. He made me feel at ease straight away and calmed my nerves. He explainedr everything and was very polite in his questioning. I felt I could share my concerns and ongoing problems I have been havaing with him without judgement. I would highly recommend and thank him for his time and patience with me.
I would recommend psychiatry UK to NHS patients. The wait is long but there is little alternative to that without going private. I was treated with dignity and care during my ADHD assessment. I am now waiting titration.
Thank you to Dr Asiain who assessed me, and to the admin team who reply timely on the online portal.
Dr Lucy Watkin was a credit to the service and my needs.
She put me at ease from the start and was very clear in her role and the way things would go
she offered detailed explanations throughout and never left me confused or u sure
she was proffessional at all times with some laughter which really helped me through a hard situation
she is a credit to her prfoession and patients
thanks again Dr Watkin !!
