The ADHD Centre 2023-03-21 Person 5 5 0

My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago. I first suspected I also had ADHD when completing the initial questionnaire and identifying so strongly with the answers and started to question my view of normality ("Does it seem as though your child is driven by a motor?" I thought this was normal!). It took several years for me to get to the point where I felt able to seek diagnosis and I am so grateful to have found the ADHD Centre. They have been wonderful from the beginning. The admin team are well organised, kind and very responsive. They also understand the challenges of ADHD and provide gentle reminders and the flexibility I need with the challenges I have with organisation. I have been under the care of wonderful Dr Upadhyay for just under a year. She made me feel comfortable and accepted from the start, not something I am accustomed to. As well as sharing her vast knowledge and experience of ADHD she also gently led me to understanding and acceptance of my diagnosis. Most importantly for me, Dr Upadhyay shared with me her joy in treating patients with ADHD that clearly underlies her patient, kind, warm and expert care. I am also an NHS clinician and know you can't fake this. She guided me through treatment choices and with balanced and detailed information and was particular in ensuring the best possible results for me. I have now been on medication for 6 months and it has been transformative. Less chaos, less anxiety and finally moving past that place of thinking what could I achieve if only I could stay on track/focus. I cannot overestimate the difference this has made to my life and I have Dr Upadhyay to thank for that. I know this is the reason she does what she does, for the difference it makes in the lives of people like me and that is what drives the very best healthcare professionals. If you are thinking about seeking a diagnosis, put yourself in the very safe hands of this wonderful team. Thank you Dr Upadhyay and the team, I will be forever grateful to you for the turning point in my life.
