Psychiatry-UK 2023-03-17 Person 5 5 0

I was on the waiting list for give or take 6 months (although I may have delayed it by being very ADHD about all the forms you have to fill in beforehand!). I had just gone through a mental health crisis, been in hospital, talked with various teams, health professionals and psychiatrists and I never felt heard or understood by any of my doctors and I felt like I was at the end of the line. Then out of the blue I got a call about the appointment I’d sort of forgotten about on psychiatry uk and it was the first time I ever felt heard and not judged or disbelieved which is also traumatic when that happens. I’m happy with my diagnosis’ and the whole diagnostic letter I could tell that my psychiatrist had actually listened to me and presented a very fair unbiased view. I think this was such a big step for me that the medication doesn’t matter as much. Although it helps. Having a psychiatrist listen to me and not spin me round in circles which drive me more insane than I feel to start with is a first in my life. Thank you Doctor Wiktor Kulik!
