I don't have control or power to change how the mental health system works. If they dont feel someone meets their criteria, then you get rejected simply whether it is severe or not. I felt that professionals just didnt make a lot of effort to listen, show care, understanding and help me with my circumstances. GPs can't do a lot apart from refer to mental health service and recommend medication. I was referred to secondary care mental health service after going to A&E which i needed to do but i suffered from bullying and neglectful behaviour by staff there who didn't want to help and didnt show any sign of care or concern for me. I saw crisis teams who were horrible towards me and forced me away from hospital even if i went there by ambulance. I tried 3 different A&E hosptials. The second one i went to by ambulance, i thought would be better experience at beginning but after waiting a long time in distress, hoping to see psychiatrist, crisis team turned up and said immediately to leave the place, so all the staff turned against me to bully me out back home. I phoned samaritans in tears. Then police came to drive me home. At secondary mental health service,I was put in touch with an Occupational Therapist as a care coordinator to assess me and refer me to pshyicatrist and for therapy. I saw two different psychiatrists both didnt want to take seriously my circumstances. The last diagnosis was cyclothemia-thats cos they didnt see i have severe depressions and mania, which i have experienced both. I was told i can have therapy and support through the service but i wasnt treated well at all and not offered even an assessment by psychological department. I just saw care coordinator who i tried my best to give a lot of information about me, my experience with condition but didnt lead to good outcome.
