Psychiatrist

Dr Fitch is the most knowledgeable & credible support for those suffering any kind d of mental health illness/issue. And as a diagnostician – she outshines ALL. I’ve seen a few psychologists & a psychiatrist in my life … but NONE of them figured out what became obvious to Dr Fitch. First she diagnosed sleep apnoea & organised a sleep study & cpap machine for me. What a difference THAT made! Finally! A good night’s sleep. It’d been years!!! Then she identified me as having ADHD & helped me understand a lot about my energy levels & how to manage them better. And finally … as she got to know me even better … she diagnosed me, at age 50, as being a high functioning Aspie (Aspergers/ASD). This truly blew me away. I resisted the diagnosis at first. I couldn’t see how it could possibly be me. But with her gentle guidance & suggested reading material, I came to realise she was right & it’s changed my life sooooo much. I now understand so many things throughout my life that puzzled or bothered me. Most importantly, I finally like myself & understand why I am the way I am. I’m no longer permanently stressed out & anxious. I understand what’s best for me & how to deal with situations I have to involve myself in … and more importantly, how to look after myself thereafter & deal with the feelings that arise from those situations. I nap when I need to … without feeling lazy & guilty. I stay home & give myself time to recover after having been out & about or spending time with people. I used to think there was something wrong with me … now I know I just need some time-out to decompress after being overwhelmed by a sensory overload. I wasn’t conscious of any of this before, so I beat myself up constantly. Dr Fitch has taught me to understand myself better & to give myself a break! She explained what my brain was doing & used tactile & visual aids so the message sunk in. Dr Fitch also included my husband in some appointments to help her diagnosis & where she explained EVERYTHING again … knowing he was my greatest support & also that he needed to know & would benefit from understanding it all too. I cannot rate Dr Fitch highly enough. I’m a different person now … & it’s ENTIRELY because of her diagnosis & care. My normal state is now happy & content. I still get anxious sometimes when out in some situations … but I’m no longer overwhelmed ’cause I know I’ll get thru it … & I know how to decompress & look after myself when I get home. I’m still a bit of a hermit … but I’m going out more & more. My husband & I now laugh & joke about my Aspie ways … which is wonderful. We have a lot of fun with it. THANK YOU Dr Fitch … for giving me a life worth living … & my husband sends a BIG, GIANT, ENORMOUS Thank You as well. We’re even more like a couple of young love birds now! = ) …more

Peter ha been my psychiatrist for over twenty years and he is an empathetic, intelligent lligent and knowledgeable man who quite probably saved my life at one time.
