He’s amazing !!! improved my life !!

Thank you sincerely for your very kind words and generous feedback — I truly appreciate it. I’m delighted to hear that you feel your life has improved, but the real credit goes to you for your commitment, openness, and willingness to engage fully in your treatment journey. Your progress reflects your own strength and determination.

Dr Sarkhel has been incredibly supportive throughout my ADHD diagnosis and treatment, which I was initially nervous to begin as it was all so new to me. However, the doctor reassured me and he clearly explained the ‘why’ behind every step of the process. A year on I am now much more confident and better able to understand my own diagnosis.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. I am truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. Beginning an ADHD assessment and treatment journey can understandably feel daunting, especially when everything is new and uncertain. I’m very pleased to hear that the explanations and reassurance helped you feel more comfortable and informed throughout the process. Your progress over the past year is a testament not just to the treatment plan, but to your own commitment, openness, and resilience. ADHD management is always a collaborative process, and the confidence and self-understanding you’ve developed reflect the effort you’ve consistently invested in your own wellbeing. That dedication deserves real recognition. Thank you again for your generous 5-star feedback — it means a great deal. I wish you continued clarity, confidence, and success as you move forward. Remember, growth is a journey, and the insight you’ve gained this past year is a strong foundation for everything ahead. Keep believing in your progress — you are doing exceptionally well. Best wishes Dr Sarkhel
Dr Sarkhel is a truly wonderful doctor. Every time I saw him, I really felt that he understood that my illness required a multi-modal treatment plan. He was thorough in his reviews, always carefully considering how to take the fight to my depressive episode... it felt tailored and personal to my needs. It was thanks to this that I've since felt able to take a promotion and start a family. I have a great support network too, but it's through regular medication, rTMS, meditation and time that foundations were established. Without a doubt, if I was to relapse, it would be Dr Sarkhel and his team that I'd reach out to first. My advice to anyone in a similar boat: value your mental health as you would your physical, and find a doctor who does the same.

Thank you very much for sharing such a thoughtful and moving reflection on your journey. I am sincerely grateful for your kind words and for the trust you placed in me and the wider Living Mind team during a very challenging period of your life. Mental health conditions, much like physical illnesses, often require a multi-modal and carefully tailored approach. Treatment is rarely one-dimensional, and meaningful progress usually comes from combining medical, psychological, neurostimulation, and self-regulatory strategies over time. I am pleased to hear that this integrated approach — including medication, rTMS, mindfulness practices, and ongoing review — helped establish the foundations that allowed you to move forward with confidence, both personally and professionally. Your reflection on valuing mental health in the same way we value physical health is particularly important. Open conversations such as yours help reduce fear and stigma, and encourage others to seek help early and without judgement. That in itself is a powerful contribution. It is deeply rewarding to know that the care you received supported you in reaching significant life milestones, and I am glad you continue to have a strong support network around you. With my very best wishes for your continued wellbeing, resilience, and recovery. Kind regards Dr Sarkhel
Dr Sarkhel is an excellent psychiatrist for ADHD treatment. The assessment was thorough, the treatment plan was clear and tailored, and medication was managed carefully with regular follow-ups. I felt genuinely listened to, and the support has made a noticeable improvement to my focus and day-to-day functioning. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. I am truly grateful for your generous words and for taking the time to share your experience regarding your ADHD treatment. It means a great deal to know that you felt listened to and supported, and that the ADHD assessment and treatment plan have made a positive difference to your focus and day-to-day functioning. I wish you continued progress and wellbeing, and I hope you make a smooth and steady recovery. Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. Warm regards, Dr Sarkhel Consultant Psychiatrist
I have been a patient since 2022 and always receive the best care from Dr. Sarkeel and the team at Living Mind. I have been diagnosed with resistant depression disorder and generalised anxiety disorder and had a recent dip on my mental health and requested urgent treatment. Dr. Sarkeel immediately moved my appointment to accommodate my needs to ensure that I had the appropriate care. Not only by being caring and treatment me with the upmost respect, but also by being one of my biggest cheerleaders and celebrating every milestone that achieve. This makes a huge difference finding the right level of support. You need to feel in a safe environment where you can open up as well as feel empowered - that's what you will find at Living Mind. The right balance so you can recover, build your resilience and if something goes wrong you have the right non judgmental environment to keep going, as this a normal part of the journey. Thanks Dr. Sarkeel and the team at Living Mind!

I completed 30 sessions of rTMS treatment for depression at Living Mind Clinic, and it has made a real difference in my life. Before starting, I was struggling with low mood and lack of motivation despite trying various treatments. The team at Living Mind was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive throughout the process — they made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. After finishing the course, I noticed a gradual but steady improvement in my mood, energy levels, and overall outlook. I feel more like myself again, and everyday tasks don’t feel as overwhelming as before. The treatment was gentle and completely manageable, and the staff’s genuine care made the experience so much easier. I’m very grateful to the team and would highly recommend rTMS and Living Mind Clinic to anyone struggling with depression who hasn’t found relief with other treatments.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review. I am truly grateful for your kind words and the time you took to share your experience. It is incredibly rewarding to hear that the rTMS treatment, alongside your overall psychiatric care, has contributed to meaningful improvements in your mood, motivation, and daily life. I also want to acknowledge and commend your commitment to the treatment plan. Your dedication and active participation were key to the progress you’ve made, and it is inspiring to see the positive changes you’ve experienced. It is heartening to know that the team’s support, professionalism, and care, along with our clinic’s cleanliness , bedside manners and efficiency, helped make your experience comfortable and reassuring. Seeing that these aspects, as well as your overall experience, earned five stars is truly gratifying. I wish you continued improvement, resilience, and well-being as you move forward. Please know that I, along with the Living Mind team, remain here to support you whenever needed. Warm regards, Dr. Sarkhel Consultant Psychiatrist, Living Mind
