Review titled Concerns regarding my father's treatment at Berrywood Hospital
by hawkqb88 - Posted on 18 April 2023
I would like to express my concerns regarding the treatment plan of my father. My father has been under the care of a psychiatrist for some time now, and I believe that his current medication regime may be causing him more harm than good. Over the past few months, my father's quality of life has significantly deteriorated. He seems to be merely existing rather than living, and I believe that his medication may be the primary cause of this. As his daughter, it is heartbreaking to witness him in this state. I have reached out to his psychiatrist and requested that another consultant reviews his treatment plan, specifically his medication. I believe that a fresh perspective from another professional may be helpful in determining whether there are alternative treatment options available that may be more effective for my father's condition. I want to stress that I am not questioning the skills or expertise of my father's current psychiatrist. On the contrary, I appreciate the work that they has done so far in treating my father. However, I believe that it is important to explore all options to ensure that my father can regain some quality of life. In conclusion, I urge healthcare providers to always listen to the concerns of family members and involve them in the treatment planning process. We are often the ones who see the day-to-day struggles of our loved ones and can provide valuable insights into their wellbeing. Thank you for taking the time to read my review, and I hope that it will be helpful in improving the care of patients in similar situations.
