My child has been registered with CAMHS for several years now and has been diagnosed with autism (despite the fact CAMHS had said there was no signs of autism, she was then diagnosed a few years later). ADHD assessment now also waiting to be done again after I had to complain. CAMHS staff we saw suggested u couldn't have depression and adhd at the same time; what an extremely concerning statement to make as evidence shows people with adhd are more likely to suffer from depression.
My daughter has never had a consistent worker and is now on her 4th and decided she now no longer wants to attend as she said they offer no help except ask how things have been, which she feels is no help whatsoever. After 3 years of no productive support I understand why she feels this way and she's concerned because after these appointments her self harming increases due to leaving the appointments feeling like there is no help available for her.
