Had the same situation... gives off the wrong message but at the same time I know that mh services are being cut left right and centre... so they only take on severe cases (I.e those who have taken the plunge). With that said, it was the crisis team who wrote to my gp saying that I should be on a different med and to see how that goes... so that little step did help.
