They always found time to help and offer advice…

Its hard to write a review without a hint of a back story. This is mine. Female, in my late 50s. I grew up when ADHD was less understood, especially in girls. No need to elaborate on the struggles of a life lived undiagnosed to fellow sufferers, nor how wrong I was, when thinking I might have ADHD in my late 40s meant life might get easier. Without the means for private healthcare, the journey to try and get help was sole destroying. The turning point was learning that I had the “right to choose” my care while still within the NHS. That was when I found Psychiatry UK. It was still down to me to get a GP referral, but the informed support and kindness I got from the team made me feel like “someone had my back “ and that gave me the confidence to push for the help I needed. I’m a little old, and life has made me a little strange, and undoubtedly difficult… but they took all that in their stride, even when I got frustrated or struggled to understand “portholes and tech” etc. To be diagnosed with ADHD was no great surprise, however the depth of care and respect given to me was great. Both Dr Jack Krysztofiak and Claire Meadows (titration nurse) were professional, knowledgeable, but most important to me they were approachable and pleasant. They always found time to help and offer advice. The treatment I got was tailored and carefully considered. Everyone I dealt with at Psychiatry UK was wonderful. I hope they all read the reviews, so they know just how grateful I am for the real difference they have made to my well-being. Thank you.
