How boring ....

It’s scary

I don’t have any comment about this other than it disgusts me, if I’m bitter I don’t give a crap. They deserve to be fed on by a buncha polar BEARS

((((((((( Bizi )))))))))

It’s ok

I think many in the UK feel that mentally ill patients have no care.

I stick to my opinion that the UK is the WORST probably in the world. And this is my thread?

I didn’t notice posts being edited but I appreciate this post. I don’t really have answers except it’s a MESS.

Basically they have no time to listen.

It actually wasn’t your post that you edited that bothered me at all to be honest.

I’m sorry you felt you had to edit it, I didn’t have time to read it fully

When I speak my truth about the desperate and ridiculous situation in the uk., my opinion (and that of many others) I prefer it if a more knowledgeable (?) someone doesn’t try to correct me. At least I felt that I was being “corrected”. I’m not here to make “enemies” and I really hope nobody misreads my post.

I understand that the situation in the USA is also desperate for some. And I’m sorry ... it sucks

I made a post a while ago saying I found doctors very hard to talk to. Someone replied saying that in the hour they are given .. well to me, if I was ever given an hour to talk or even half an hour with a listening doctor, they would be giving me a chance to begin to explain my situation.

I do not find it’s possible to do this in 10 minutes or less, especially if the doctor does not want to try to listen in that very limited time available. Some do try to listen. I haven’t found many though and most move away.

I have found that the majority of people are given palliative care, at best. And their labelling tends to be very quick and not always even somewhat accurate. JMO.

PS I do know that I’m not as knowledgeable about bipolar as many here are.

Love and respect to all

Honestly, my GP doesn't know jackshit about anything. All she does is use a special doctor's version of Google to look things up. (I've seen her do it on her laptop.) She just types in symptoms and it comes up with possible conditons along with commonly prescribed meds for said conditions. Or she can look up a medical condition that the patient already has. She can also see previous doctors' notes. So the only thing she needs to do is say, "okay, I'm going to need some time to review your records and I'll get back to you within a week. We will likely have to schedule another appointment." But no, she doesnt do that.

Like wtf lady. Good job on failing to take care of your patients.

Oh, and another thing. She should AT LEAST knows about community mental health centers for those struggling with finance, but nope, she doesn't know that either.

So not only is our mental health system failing us, but our general health system is failing us too. GPs don't even know what to do with us when, at the bare minimum, they have the ability to Google basic s***

World wide we have this issue. It's not that hard to learn about mental health when far too many people struggle with it. I mean, why the f*** does my GP know about my specific sinus issues that are rare, but she doesn't seem to know anything about mental health???

I haven’t found a GP who knows much of anything.

But they say that they do....

Yeah, and they never say to come back in a week... it’s a month at best.

So 10 minutes once a month... I did try that once, and I received a letter from the surgery telling me to see another doctor

And I was not “difficult” .. and the GP actually asked me to come back in a month....

And why does it say “minor concern” about very extreme, life altering allergies .......

Why do I talk about this, they told me there is “no reason” for it,

I know there is

A and E as it’s called over here. A nightmare

As I’m a bear I’d clear the room....
