Just wow. What an absolutely impeccable service from Psychiatry-UK. (PUK) As soon as the service was handed over to PUK I was told exactly what I needed to know, in a way that made me feel completely at ease. The initial assessment had me particularly worried, as is common with ADHD I had completely forgotten what the time was for the video call and I was rushing around after just getting out the shower in a usual ADHD fueled flurry. - I was worried that it would mean I would have to reschedule the appointment. However that completely wasn't the case once I was in the actual assessment. The questions were explained well, and the consultant was able to guide the conversation in a way that was useful and easy to understand. My consultant was extremely patient, and reassuring through out the whole questioning. Once the questions had been answered, they went through their thoughts and confirmed to me that he believed I was suffering with ADHD. There was then a little wait from when I was diagnosed and passed over to the prescribing team but that very quickly went by. Once I was under their titration service I was then put onto a low dosage medication. At each stage I was able to have any questions I may have had answered, and the advice given was always extremely helpful. Whilst carefully being monitored whilst upping the dosage until I am feeling less of the symptoms of ADHD and the medication wasn't causing any problematic side effects. It has been just over a 2 months since I have been on the service and I am now about to be passed back to my GP. I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome that going through this process has managed to achieve. I would like to especially thank - Dr Sajjad Sadiq for the incredible initial assessment, Hemamm Al-Kaillany the prescriber for the efficient and easy to understand service, and the people behind the Admin team that arrange the assessment and later titration if you are successful with the diagnosis. I would not have changed a thing about the entire process. If you get the choice to pick who you are referred to then you will not regret using PUK.
