If you’re looking to get the right diagnoses for your mental health problem, Dr Nathan Anthony is the right person to go to. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, supportive and a great listener. For several years, my partner (K) was receiving care from another mental health professional and little had changed in that time. It appeared the medication my partner was taking wasn’t effective as he was getting more and more depressed with very little energy. Together we got the sense that something wasn’t right, and discussed seeking a second opinion on possible treatment options. After doing a lot of research trying to find a good Psychiatrist I was lucky enough to find Dr Anthony through the “I Want Great Care” website. His reviews were very good and many of his patients mentioned his experience, patience and kindness. With the great help of Teresa, Dr Anthony's Private Secretary, we could get an appointment. The first consultation with Dr Anthony took about two hours and I participated in the last 30 minutes. Both my partner and I were very pleased with Dr Anthony’s approach. He made K feel very confortable and asked him many questions. At the end of the consultation he mentioned he didn’t think my partner was suffering from the disorder diagnosed by his previous doctor but he was 98% secure K had ADHD with the possibility of layers of depression etc. He told us in order to have a full diagnose of ADHD my partner had to see a psychologist to have more in-depth specific psychological testing for ADHD. We went home and spent hours reading about ADHD on the internet and it seemed K ticked all the boxes for that condition. A few days later Dr Anthony sent us a very comprehensive report about my partner and reading it felt like he was truly describing the person I have been living with for many years. I was truly amazed by his accuracy and couldn’t believe that for so many years K had been taking medication for a mental health disorder that wasn’t the right one. A couple of sessions with the also excellent Dr Maria Daves, psychologist recommended by Dr Anthony, showed that M has indeed ADHD with other layers of mental disorders. After a couple of months of assessments, my partner’s treatment is about to start. We are extremely hopeful that with the right medication and the continuing support Dr Anthony will provide, K will a much happier, functioning and stable life. Thank you Dr Anthony
