Tara - gives good service as a governmental hospital however there are problems
I am very grateful to have had a safe place during my suicidal ideation at Ward 4 and Ward 5 with seven other members. Their DBT program is helpful and the clinical psychologist I saw was good - however I want to warn people against how Diagnoses are handed out at Tara - we all received Narcissistic Personality Disorder as a diagnosis and most of our previously diagnosed mood disorders fell away. This has left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I believe ethically it is very dangerous what they are doing there by having given out the SAME diagnosis to all 8 patients there. As a studying psychology student currently I find it highly disturbing - my psychologist outside of Tara whom I have seen for a year completely disagrees with the diagnosis. Also with Hashimotos: the doctor did not possibly understand the mental health complications even with diet that could have been exasperating my depression and anxiety symptoms - so If you are looking for nuanced care that is holistic where you get acute individual attention that won't happen there.

Excellent service
I just had my sons review with Dr Swarts at Tara Hospital and she was amazing, she "heard" what we were saying and is going to do something positive about it. She is the best doctor we have seen so far in the may years my son has been a patient there and I am so grateful to this hospital as they have made a huge difference in my sons life. My son suffers with Epilepsy and the doctors have been fantastic in this treatments - thank you to everyone involved, I am so happy that I don't have to sit at JHB Gen anymore. I highly recommend this hospital for any neurological condition.

No service when desperately needed
My son is suicidal and I called Tara Hospital to make an appointment for him to see a Psychologist as he had been a patient with them from the age of 6-18. Once he left school he decided to go off his medication and try and cope in the real world. He is now 22 and needs help urgently so when I called Tara to make the appointment they said that I must get a referral letter as he has gone from Childrens Clinic to OPD, but the Childrens clinic doctors cant do the referral because they hadn't seen him for 3 years. I then asked them how a stranger could give him a referral letter and not their own facility but they assured me that this was their procedure and I must either go to a clinic or doctor to get the letter. I finally conceded and took him to our GP who gave us a referral letter. I called OPD again to make the appointment and they said that I can't use a GP referral only a Psychiatrist's referral letter and refuse to make an appointment without this referral letter - what is the difference - my child needs help urgently and they are turning him away. It is National Mental Health month and I can't get help for my son. I am very upset and extremely disappointed.
