"Treatment for mental health."

About: Dumfries & Galloway Community Services / Community Mental Health Team

(as the patient),

I was seen quickly and met with a friendly, and engaging, professional, psychotherapy nurse.  I was put on to a new medication, after a thorough assessment.  The combination of the new medication and guidance has made a huge improvement to my condition which has loomed for many, many years.

I feel happy for the first time in a long time and I am deeply grateful that this treatment has been afforded to me through the NHS in Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway.  Without sounding clichéd, I am finally able to be the father and husband my young family needs in our home.

Dear JamLord,

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with this lovely feedback, and I am delighted to hear that you have had such a positive experience with our services.

I wonder if you would be good enough to let me know the name of the nurse who you were involved with so that I can pass on your compliments to them. You can contact me on my email linda.mckechnie@nhs.net

thank you

best wishes
