My doctor directed me to Psychiatry UK for diagnosis in 2024, I was diagnosed in August 2025 at 62 years old. I was told it was a 10 to 12 month wait for titration; I’m still waiting. My symptoms are worsening ( physical and verbal) so much so that I avoid going out with fear of embarrassing myself or hurting others. I’ve been off work since January 2026.

Has a one got advice how I can move this forward, help symptoms.?

Thanks in advance

Hello Paula,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m sorry if this sounds patronising but, I just want to cover all basis

Have you tried contacting psychiatry UK and asking them where you are on the que? If not, I would contact them asap.
