Dr Bargiotas diagnosed me with Bipolar Affective Disorder in summer 2018, and treated me at both poles of the mental illness. He treated me with respect, dignity, and compassion throughout, and took a holistic approach. He makes a point of shaking your hand as he escorts you to the treatment room, epitomising how, as a psychiatrist, he treats you as an equal rather than as an inferior. Dr Bargiotas astutely recognised autistic traits in me that had gone undetected by other mental health professionals that I had seen. Without that vital recognition, I would never have been diagnosed, and would have gone the rest of my life feeling different to others and loathing myself for that.
