No treatment due to shortage of medication

"No treatment due to shortage of medication"

About: Neurodiversity Services / North Lincolnshire ADHD team

(as the patient),

ADHD is not a mental health issue, it is neurological. The symptoms do encompass mental health related issues yes.

I believe you still are approaching ADHD as if it's all psychosomatic.

I feel we need treatment holistically and that you aren't addressing co-morbidities.

Because of a shortage in one medication I was left without any treatment whatsoever for 18months, not one phone review or update. No services. I have been suicidal and self harming. Because I feel that you are failing to treat a condition you diagnosed...

Using a single point of access service is appalling.

I want to officially complain but I feel you have made it impossible for someone with executive dysfunction to do so.
