Quite literally, changed my life…

I went through an ADHD assessment, diagnosis, titration and post-titration consultation with Psychiatry Uk and every part of the process has been positive and supportive.My psychiatrist was Rajvinder Sambhi and he has, quite literally, changed my life.I entered my first consultation worrying that I would have nothing to say or that I had convinced myself that I was wasting everybody’s time and had just convinced myself I had ADHD but the consultation (which lasted for just under an hour) was so easy. The questions that my psychiatrist asked were to the point and gave me great direction about what to talk about. When I wandered on a tangent he brought me back with clarifying questions yet also allowed me to talk with my normal stream of consciousness style of conversation. By the end of the appointment, I had a diagnosis, an additional recommendation to explore some autistic traits which presented themself, later followed by a written report and referral to titration. I was so nervous of feeling silly in my appointment (I have never had a psychiatry appointment before) but I actually felt valued, respected and listened to. I have had my end of titration consultation today and, once again, Rajvinder Sambhi made me feel listened to, valued and calm. He also explained, very clearly throughout the entire process, the next steps and what I needed to do next.This process with Psychiatry UK, and particularly the support and recommendations I have received from both Rajvinder Sambhi and my titration nurse Vicki Connell, have been friendly, professional, reassuring, a reflection of excellent levels of knowledge and experience, and most of all – life changing.Thank you so much
