Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is a type of mental illness which can cause a person to have severe mood swings, which can last several weeks or months in duration.

This condition used to be referred to as Manic Depression, as the individual would experience periods of elation followed by more extended periods of depression. With both the depressive and manic stages, there may also be psychotic symptoms.

The exact cause of Bipolar Disorder is unknown, however it has been linked to certain factors, such as genetics, stress and trauma.

Treatment usually involves the use of medication in the form of mood stabilisers, as well as psychological interventions, such as talking therapies and recognising triggers to becoming unwell.

I cannot describe how insightful, educational and valuable my session with Dr Anna was. I have come away with a feeling of understanding as well as many tools to aid in my future development. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

N.C.

Dr Anna has been incredible. Very thorough and has really helped me develop insights into my anxiety and most importantly face these head on. I only wish I’d sought help sooner and not wasted time feeling so low.

Thank you Dr. Anna Wilkin for your support and finally getting me on the right track. Life has improved massively for me since we met and I finally feel like it’s only going to get better. Highly recommended. I’ll be forever grateful for everything you have done for me. Many thanks.

Dr Anna is a wonderful psychiatrist. When I didn't feel listened to by my local doctors and felt let down; Anna was there. She was open and honest, constructive and kind. She diagnosed me and put me on a road to improvement. Very flexible in terms of how to meet up, in person and online. I'm incredibly greatful to her and I would recommend her 100%

Dr Anna Wilkin is an outstanding psychiatrist, very professional, friendly, approachable and compassionate. After our first meeting I was given my diagnosis together with a prescription. After the consultation I was provided with continuing support via email. All in all I would highly recommend her.

S.B.

Sought Anna for a consultation for my 17 year old child, who was understandably nervous. She was really positive about the meeting and subsequent recommendations. I found Anna really helpful and easy to deal with in terms of organising. Would definitely recommend

N.C.

I highly recommend Dr Anna Wilkin and this clinic if you are looking for a professional, diligent and considerate approach to help with mental health related issues. After difficulty being taken seriously, I self referred this clinic and was met with extremely fast results. I was given the chance to say what I needed to and given thoughtful recourse by Dr Wilkin. By the time we finished I received diagnosis and an accompanying prescription, very efficient overall.

J.K.

I was very impressed by the professional, insightful and effective treatment I received from Dr Anna Wilkin at PsychiatryNow in Great Malvern. I obtained an initial consultation in good time and follow up to ensure that things were getting on track for me. Her advice on medication, and also actions I could take in future, have been invaluable. I can highly recommend and I would certainly return if it ever became necessary.
