Written by a NHS patient
2nd June 2023


I was referred to Psychiatry UK from the NHS in order to discuss an ADHD diagnosis and possible help. I was a little anxious - to put it lightly - as I'd never had such a diagnosis before and aside from my Anxiety medication, I'd never been on a Titration plan. But the entire process from start to finish was clear, comfortable and kind. All staff I met treated me with respect and were incredibly patient with my millions of questions and concerns. They were upfront about possible changes and were flexible in recommending me medication to suit me personally. It was very clear to me how experienced they are in their jobs and how suited they are to helping people. I am just finished my titration period with a new medication that suits me and genuinely has assisted me in being much healthier, healthier than I have been in years, mentally and physically. It took some trial and error but the staff were so patient and understanding the entire step of the way. I would like to give a special shout out to Sarah Purchase, who has been in contact with me for the past several months. Sarah is absolutely amazing at her job, incredibly knowledgeable and without her I don't think I would have come out the other side half as well as I have! I cannot stress how grateful I am to her and for all the hours she has put in to helping me. Thank you, Sarah! To round off, thank you to the entire team of Psychiatry UK. With the awful strains on our medical departments and wait times being long, it can be worrying to someone who wants to get better but cannot afford a private practice. When I think back to how I was when I first got into contact last June for my appointment and initial diagnosis, compared to now it is like night and day. Of course, everyone is different and experiences treatment differently, but for me I am so happy to be back to a much healthier point in my life. You have given me the support and tools I needed to make the steps to improving my health and my life and for that, I am so very grateful. Thank you all again!
