I've been involved with mental health services for the past 10 years and not once I was offered therapy or talking therapies like as is commonly known on the NHS website. Appropriate help even though I feel that I am down by the mental health services in England. I even remember when I was 12 years old. I was under the mental health services cahms service mental health services for children and young people at the time. I'm currently under a CPN which I do not trust or get along with. I do not feel safe around this man working with him one to one I requested to change my CPN to a different one and to report to the nurse and midwife council regarding him. I'm going to get complaints advocacy involved to make sure my voice is heard by the Health service because you know they'll just ignore my complaints anyway if not done through an advocacy service.
I'm going to attend some peer support groups in my local area to get better without medication Which is the way I prefer it.
From my experience going in and out of the looney bin over the years, not once was I offered the appropriate help or therapy, including talking therapy, Which is available in the Health Service. Anyways, you can only take it if you offered it, and I was never offered it, Which is appalling.
NHS mental health services up and down the country Face long waiting lists, intense bureaucracy and red tape, and the NHS is really slow for Non-Elective procedures and also burdened with long waiting lists.
NHS mental health services, both for children and adults need sorting out as soon as possible because I believe it's a scandal and a scam for our taxpayer money.
