Psychiatry-UK

Written by a NHS patient

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.

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.

Whenever I had a problem, PsychUK were very quick and accommodating from the admin team to the nurses and consultants. They have protected me well and tried their hardest for me in really tough times securing an ADHD diagnosis. I cannot recommend the service enough.
