When i first saw Dr Cubbin in May, i was very distressed and at the peak of my untreated, undiagnosed ADD. She was so understanding and helpful. She reassured me that help was on the way. She suggested books that i could read to familiarize myself with the ADD. After i was diagnosed she said she would send my doctor the diagnosis THAT DAY and request therapy and support. And i promised i would write the review of my meeting with her. I felt really bad because a week or 2 went by and i had not done the review, but i finally got to do it. it's been over one and half months, and my doctor still has not received the diagnosis. She had to ring around the Maudsley to chase up the prescribed medication. I am on the medication, it helps a bit but the traits that have been plaguing me for many years to isolation still persists, to the point that my career, which is the only thing i have going for myself, is now in jeopardy. I feel like this disorder is finally disabling me due to not being treated for so many years. I am becoming more of a loner, I feel scared for my future. I used to be someone who was always full of love, smiling, caring and helping people, volunteering for organizations that needed support, but i feel like i am finally closing and dying inside from disconnection. This is very sad and depressing! All the books Dr Cullen suggested i read, they all say the same thing, with diagnosis- SUPPORT MUST be in place. There are no support groups in London, or none that i could find. Dr Cullen is an amazing Dr, However she needs to also understand that leaving patients bewildered after diagnosis and depending on the severity of years of being undiagnosed is very severe. This is not meant to be a bad review but constructive criticism to improve the amazing work you do and to follow through to avoid any new patients going through what i am going through.
