I would recommend seeing Dr Iqbal. I decided to see a Private Psychiatrist due to how difficult it is to see a Psychiatrist on the NHS. I was so pleased that I was able to be seen within 5 days of asking for an appointment. I was impressed with how carefully Dr Iqbal had read my initial assessment form and from the very start of the session said he thinks he knows what is going on with me, when I asked him what he thought it was, he said that I may have Adult ADHD, this made me feel very relieved, because, finally for once in my life a Psychiatrist was able to pinpoint why I struggle to organise and focus on tasks. This also made me feel as though there was hope that things would get better for me as well. I have felt misunderstood all my life. I also always wondered why I could not be productive enough and I have felt inadequate due to this. I have been on a lot of different medications in the past that have given me bad side affects. Dr Iqbal recommended I go on a mood stabiliser, I am hoping this will make me feel better in my mood and mean I will not have anymore episodes of anxiety and or depression. I will be asking my GP to refer me for a full Adult ADHD assessment and if I have it I will commence treatment for this. Dr Iqbal also recommended I get ASD life coaching, I am not sure if this is available on the NHS, but I will be speaking to my GP about this. Dr Iqbal sent me some questionnaires to complete before he made any diagnoses of me, I found this to be very thorough and I was very pleased about this. He was friendly, professional but also relaxed in his persona which put me at ease during our video call together. I have already put some money aside in case I need to have a review with Dr Iqbal.
