I was referred by health in mind, and took 6 months to get a diagnosis and to get my treatment started.
The team are great and easy to talk to and it was done from the comfort of my home via video call .
When I had any questions I would go onto my portal and talk to my physicist and would reply within minutes to all my questions, which would put my mind at ease.
This was a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend this service.

Amazing care received from Psychiatry UK over the last 3 years. Because they're so good the wait times have gone up (nothing like for NHS though!) Bit every part of the process has been very straightforward. I have just completed titration for medication amd found the whole process very helpful.

I was referred by my doctor and the process was very easy and straightforward. I received an appointment fairly quickly with a psychiatrist. There were a couple of blips with the booking of the appointment and technical issues which meant the appointment had to be rescheduled a couple of times however I can't fault the service in any way.

My experience of my assesors:
My psychiatrist seemed really kind and i felt safe with him.
My nurse seemed ok but i did not feel safe with her. I'm not sure why.
My experience of my assessment:
I would like to have understood how the assessment worked. After the assessment i felt that they had been asking me questions about other mental health conditions and that because maybe they felt that i had other mental health conditions, they didn't need to give me an autism diagnosis. It felt to me like they were trying to find ways that i was not autistic rather than how i feel i am autistic. I felt really upset after the assessment as i did not understand how they could base that i am not autistic on three main things: that i was able to communicate on a one to one online, that i could express how i feel and that i did not look autistic. Some main issues that i have is dissociating and masking and this was in my written assessment but i cant remember them asking me about this in this face to face assessment.
I find it weird that masking and dissociating was not taken into account in my answers and how i presented, or at least this is how it seemed to me.
I have issues with trust and not feeling safe and not understanding why fully has made me feel less trusting and more unsafe.

My experience was very positive. As I have ADHD, the wait was not easy, but considering that the alternative would have taken 20 months, waiting 4 months for the assessment and another 4 months for titration was excellent. The quality of care of the whole team has been impressive, thank you.

I have to say, I was really impressed with the care in the service provided. I was referred by GP 5 months ago and had assessment today. Would definitely recommend the service. Whole process of assessment and what was needed beforehand was explained via email and text message. Psychiatrist assessment was a good experience.

I am concerned that the doctor did not take my discussion of a potential eating disorder too seriously, as I mentioned I was still overweight but experiencing periods of not eating due to a fear of putting on further weight, and he advised that if I'm overweight then "surely that's a good thing".

Overall a really good experience. Although the waiting list was a lot shorter compared to the NHS, the waiting time for both the psychiatrist appointment and the start of the titration was a bit long, but that is understandable considering the popularity of the service. Ash, my psychiatrist, was very friendly, and the appointment went smoothly with no issues. My nurse/prescriber Paul Cavanagh was also very friendly and helpful, providing very quick responses to any queries that I had.
