The specific issue I sought help for was addressed, believed and diagnosed straight away which was a great experience and very validating. Dr Mashru is very personable and the session felt very relaxed which helps greatly since seeking help for psychiatric issues can be intimidating. My only critque is that other problems areas which were stated to give a brief idea of the whole picture, were quickly dismissed despite the fact that they had not been discussed any where close to enough for them to be dismissed. This could just be due to language used for example, instead of outright saying in an initial appointment "no I don't think ____", using language that says instead that perhaps there could be more to it than the patient thinks or other avenues are more common with patients with ____ but it is something that requires more discussion. Shutting it down straight away just because it might be something else doesnt negate the experience and intensity so it can feel a bit invalidating
