"ADHD diagnosis and treatment"

About: Neurodiversity Services / Rotherham ADHD team

(as a service user),

Many, many years ago I was diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder, however after years of struggling with virtually all aspects of my life things have finally changed.

I went on the ADHD waiting list and after a long long wait due to the huge waiting times I finally had my diagnosis confirmed by a lovely young lady called Ocean from Ferham Clinic Rotherham.

I then met a wonderful lady called Sadie who took time explaining the next steps to manage my new medication, I will admit that having turned 60 I had my doubts.

So, day one, I took my first tablet and after 30/40 mins I thought this is not doing anything, then suddenly everything changed, I was actually listening to everything people were saying to me without butting in, changing the subject or picking up my phone, I was active again, no more fatigue and afternoon naps, I found myself doing all the jobs around the house that had been left for years, my family immediately noticed the change. I could go on and on.

I would like to thank Sadie and Ocean from the bottom of my heart as without them I really wouldn't be the new person that I am now, I urge anyone to hang in there waiting to be seen as these people will change your life.
