Psychiatry UK is a very serious and professional institution that analyses in depth each and every one of your symptoms using not only your self-stated symptoms but also your past history and the statement of closely related individuals in order to gather impartial/unbiased information also. The only "issue" is the time it takes to get a consultation and for the treatment to start (although it is due to a high volume of patients requiring assessments too). However, you do receive updates about the next steps of your treatment and when you are expected to have the first appointment, when the titration process is planned to start and when your medication is likely to be delivered. If through your assessment, the psychiatrist believes that you would benefit from getting medicated, they will explain what are the types of medication usually used to treat your condition and will suggest the most recommended type for your specific case. If you agree to be medicated, they send you a blood pressure machine at home and you start a titration process. The titration process is very well conducted. You have a prescriber who indicates which medication they suggest you taking, the dosage you will start with and you review the effects of the medication every week. The review include your current medication and dosage you are taking, your weight, height, side affects (if any) and the effect in the symptoms of your condition. If the medication or the dosage does not work at first, the prescriber makes the necessary changes until you reach a satisfactory level of improvements in your symptoms. Overall, highly recommended service, specially considering how serious they take their patients and that is available for the whole population at no costs.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for leaving such a detailed review; this is really helpful for new patients looking for information about the journey through diagnosis and titration with Psychiatry-UK. We are pleased that your experience has been so positive and that you are happy to recommend our service. As you have noted, our ADHD assessment service has become extremely popular, but we are always working hard to recruit in every area of our business in order to be able to meet this increasing demand and reduce our wait times.
