Hello Resident Bipolar,

The Assertive Outreach team are for people who are difficult to engage, tend not to take their medication, have multiple health issues as in mental health issues AND physical health issues. People who would not normally willingly go to appointments to see their social worker, GP, psychiatrist etc. So I hope you can see why the psychiatrist questioned why you would have been put with the assertive outreach team. From a professional point of view, you should have been passed on to the Adult Community mental health team, NOT the assertive outreach team.

Putting all that aside, please contact your social worker and community mental health team tomorrow.
