The care of our son was excellent, thank you so much. Nothing can be improved. Everything at every level is excellent.
He listened and he helped us out. He got me better and he could talk to patient more.
Stayed calm and patient within situations.
Felt adamant on a diagnosis and refused to consider it to be anything else other than this. I was severely overmedicated on several medications above the required dosage and no tests or check ups were put in place to monitor this and then resulted in developing Serotonin Syndrome which was noticed by a differed doctor.
Discharged me back into the community and it was all rushed with no support or plan put in place this then resulted in another admission not so long after and another 4 after this. Each discharge orchestrated by him was very rushed and had no consideration. I felt that I wasn't listened to at all and felt unsafe in his care. From this I have felt that I cannot trust any psychiatrists and find it extremely difficult to communicate with them and comply with treatment out fear that it will be a repeat from being in his care.
I feel that the doctor handled a difficult situation of delivering a diagnosis with care, compassion and sensitivity giving time for myself and my child to answer questions. He also suggested where to access information regarding the condition and I feel confident going forward with the future.
