I had an appointment following an admission within the mental health ward. The doctor didn’t know that I had been an in-patient, and didn’t explore the reasons why. The appointment lasted less than 15 minutes. I was asked a few questions and that was it. It wasn’t a proper assessment.
Didn’t give me any advice on what to do if I was in a difficult position again. Didn't give feedback on when I should return to work. They asked when I’d like to be seen again, I said that he should advise on this and just said come back in 3 months. Very poor assessment. Disappointed in the mental health service. Someone who has been an in patient should be seen and assessed more frequently and thoroughly. Feel like I have been left with no help and support.
