"Mental Health Services/ Psychiatry"

I was recently assigned a new consultant psychiatrist after suffering from bipolar, severe depression and historic suicide attempts. After many years of being passed to different consultants at each appointment I never really felt I wasn’t being listened to, perhaps due to the fact I had a different consultant at each appointment, I completely understand the need for this and how short staffed the NHS mental health team are so it is an no fault to the consultants or NHS themselves. 

My new consultant psychiatrist Dr Pretorius has changed my life, she has watched me come from one of my lowest points and help transform me into a stable human being again. Her support is second to none and there is not one thing she cannot or will not do for you, without Dr Pretorius I would not be the stable woman I am today. When I say she has given me the support, care and upmost respect it would be an understatement. Her abilities as a consultant psychiatrist are in my opinion second to none and I wish there was something I could do to thank her for saving my life. 

I would just like to extend my deepest gratitude to the NHS Isle of Wight Mental Health Team and Dr Pretorius
