I am horrified the power some mh services can have over the whole of someone's life. Sorry that sounds so negative but to diagnose someone so quickly during a mh crisis sounds foolish and dangerous to me.
The ''crisis'' team can create a crisis or make a crisis worse

Unfortunately Fuzzy that was exactly her experience and that of her family.

I wish I could say more positive things about them but I can't.

If you suffered a bad experience with the CT then my sincerest hugs to you.
