"What a difference a year makes."

About: Cahms motherwell

(as a service user),

The referral process was tricky with a long waiting list however when things escalated for my child he was seen quickly. Months of low mood and significant anxiety symptoms which impacted every aspect of life. Constant tears. Poor sleep. Lack of appetite and significant weight loss. Everything felt very stuck. I can only say how amazing Louise and and Dr Padovan were. They just got it. They helped us through a hugely stressful time. A year ago everything felt very hopeless but what a difference a year makes. Thank you for all your hard work. It's great to be at the other end of it all.
