I was a patient in 2019. I was admitted after an overdose, but having been a resident of prospect park in Reading. Unfortunately despite the best efforts of the staff of Prospect park, it was really about keeping patients safe, rather than treatment. What a difference coming to the Cardinal Clinic. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I can only say staying here was like a 4 star hotel, but with medication. I was switched onto lithium, and very shortly I felt much better. I should have been put on lithium much earlier as for me it really was a wonder drug. Now nearly 18 months later my mood has been nice and stable and my motivation is back. I am still in contact with many of the people who were in the clinic at the same time, as we understand what each other was going to. I also attended some day sessions, which were also good. Anyway, for Bipolar it worked well for me. Good luck with your recovery if you are reading this.
