I have had ongoing issues with my mental health since I was a small child. I am 49 and think that maybe my next step is that I should see a psychiatrist. I have spent a small fortune over the years seeing counsellers, psychologists, endless CBT sessions but none of these things have helped with my issues.
I am 49 and would like some advice, support and answers. I believe I may have ADHD which was never picked up as a child (I had lots of issues as a child but back then mental health wasn’t really discussed, especially in children).
I truly don’t think my GP will help and even if she did I appreciate that the waiting time on the NHS will be horrendously long.
But where do I even start to look for a reputable psychiatrist? I’ve Googled and several names come up but I don’t want to go into this blind, I have no idea who they are.
Does anyone have any advice?
