The first initial meeting I had with my doctor was very stressful for me. Even though I had done A LOT of research on ADHD and had a massive note page on my phone of symptoms I had both as a kid and now as an adult, I froze during the meeting. It didn’t exactly help when the doctor kept pushing me to talk by saying things like “go on then what else?”. I didn’t even know where to start, but I had to initiate the conversation, which was very difficult for me. So I started talking, a few sentences in, she interrupted me saying “*patient name*… you haven’t even mentioned anything from your childhood”. I didn’t know I was supposed to start with that. So I ended up just reading everything on my list. I left the meeting feeling empty and as if I wouldn’t be taken seriously.
The next meeting I had I didn’t know what we would talk about, but a few minutes in she gave me an ADHD diagnosis. I felt very emotional, both because I was so relieved that all my struggles are for a reason, but also because of the first meeting, I just felt like she gave me one to get it over with. I’m stuck with a feeling of being given an ADHD diagnosis at random, just because of the first meeting feeling so rushed and quite unpleasant.
However, I’m still happy with the service overall. The communication between sessions from the admin team is great, I feel like my information is in safe hands and I’m greatful for being taken seriously after a diagnosis.

I fully recommend this service as a private patient, unable to wait on the NHS waiting list for years for an ADHD diagnosis. . Diagnosis for my 17 year old son and titration was quick and thorough throughout, from the professional questioning of the psychiatrist Dr Harry Woodward to the prompt replies during titration from his prescriber: Veronica Bailie .

Psychiatry UK were professional, caring and friendly, and I felt assured throughout. I found the whole process easy to navigate and if I ever needed to ask anything, someone always got back to me with a clear and friendly response.

My consultation and titration were all done online. My consultation was with Dr. A. Mitra who was friendly and made it easy for me to open up and say what i needed to say.
I was then assigned to Ms Helen Hardcastle for my titration period and even though I have never seen her face, it felt like I had a friend with me throughout.
Ms Hardcastle explained everything that was going on in an easy to understand way, describing effects of medications, evaluating how I felt and working on that. Her dedication does not end at her job, she genuinely cared. At one point I was admitted to hospital due to an infection, while in hospital I needed to reply to an email from Helen where I explained a situation I was going through and mentioned I was in hospital, her reply was so heartfelt, genuine and caring it made me shed a tear and gave me the strength to carry on at a time where I felt lonely and scared. She has been nothing short of wonderful and I feel blessed that I was under her care.
Thank you.

Psychiatry-UK has accelerated considerably my ADHD diagnosis and then subsequent titration. To say it has revolutionised my life is an understatement. Thank you so much for the encouragement, care and sensitivity that was given throughout this process.

The process was efficient, I had to wait a lot less time that the current waiting times and both my psychiatrist were responsive and provided me with a lot of useful information about my diagnosis and how to proceed.

We found the service to be swift supportive and clear. Sally Sweeny who monitored my daughter through this was very quick to respond to queries and medication requirements.
Dr Zanlina Farley made my daughter relax and communicate, which was amazing through zoo.
