Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin

Written by a private patient at IamPsychiatry

Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin diagnosed my Adult ADHD in late December 2022, and after the holidays I started a course of medication. It is now February 2022. Finally, I am able to focus, complete tasks, and live life. Activities that once seemed overly complex, filling me with dread and anxiety, are now just routine matters that I can conquer without much difficulty and excessive thought. Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin is an excellent listener, with a manner that puts one at ease. And thanks to him, I am the happiest I have been in years. It's not often one meets a doctor who will change one's life.

I've struggled with severe depression since a teenager (in my forties now). I've tried all the medications but never helped much. I was recommended by a CBT counsellor that I may have autistic traits. This led to an autism assessment where Adult ADHD was recommended looking into. This was my first experience of private healthcare but as nearly impossible to get an ADHD assessment on the NHS, decided to take the plunge. I was very apprehensive about doing it online as aware of how easy it is to be scammed on the internet and it's a sizeable amount of money for the assessment. The service I received though was absolutely fantastic. After submitting my assessment questionnaires, they were screened prior to the assessment to not waste anyone's time or money. The assessment and follow up appointments were all carried out over Zoom. Dr Mohiuddin was very warm and friendly, the assessment itself was very thorough. To the extent that things were pointed out that I hadn't even realised about myself. It all felt very informal and relaxed though, more like having a chat than being assessed. Very different to my experience with NHS psychiatrists (if your lucky enough to get to see one). By the end of the assessment Dr Mohiuddin was able to diagnose me with Adult ADHD. Nothing was forced on me. Medications were discussed along with potential cost of private prescriptions. I felt fully involved in the treatment plan. Within a couple of days I received my prescription through the post. It still didn't feel real as it was almost too easy. It wasn't until I collected my medication from the pharmacy that I stopped worrying. The diagnosis and medication has been nothing short of life changing. It has helped me understand existing behaviours and how best to manage them. The medication helps me focus and keeps my brain on track (stops the racing voices/ thoughts). I have even manged to get a promotion at work, a better job with more money. My mental health has even improved. It is expensive initially but I have now managed to arrange a shared care agreement with my GP. I still have consultations with Dr Mohiuddin but only after 3, 6 & 12 months. My GP then prescribes the medication (the expensive bit) which saves about £125 a month. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr Mohiuddin to friends and relatives for his excellent service and professionalism. My only note for improvement is that he needs to remember to put his GMC registration on his prescriptions. Otherwise it can cause issues with collecting from the pharmacy.

Dr Mohiuddin was fantastic throughout my care with him - from inital consultation, titration, and then handover to my GP. I felt at ease with him and he was always available for me to contact and ask question. I highly recommend him.

From start to finish the care was outstanding. Leading up to the consultation the process was explained clearly and in detail, forms were easy to fill out and communication was excellent. The consultation (Zoom) itself was beyond expectation. I was anxious in the build up, but was immediately put at ease by Dr. Mohiuddin. Throughout the consultation he struck the right tone, was forthcoming with knoweledge in an understandable way, and was reassuring on what was to follow. The diagnosis was clear and the treatment explained carefully along with possible side effects of the prescribed drugs. Options on alternatives were also discussed which gave me confidence that there were other avenues available if this didn't suit me. I would recommend Dr. Mohiuddin highly.

I very recently attended an ADHD assessment with Dr Iqbal and was very happy with the whole assessment experience . I am 21 years old and throughout school and my early adult life struggled with symptoms consistent with ADHD. I have avoided seeking help for some time as feared feeling judged or made to feel that my difficulties were something that I should be able to control myself and could not be treated . I was made to feel very comfortable and Dr Iqbal who explained things clearly to me. This has helped enormously already as I have a better understanding of what may be causing my difficulties and reassured that there was things that can be done to help. I am due to start medication and have been given self help information to help me. I look forward to leaving further reviews of my progress once I have started treatment. Many thanks Dr Iqbal
