"Access to psychiatrist"

About: Airbles Road Centre / General Psychiatry Mental Health Services / Adult Mental Health Services

(as a service user),

I went to see my GP in October. I said that I had planned to take my life. They sent my wife & myself to the local mental health hospital. The nurses were really helpful & got an appointment with a Psychiatrist, I have seen a different Psychiatrist in a different area for a number of years. I now have been seen by my local Psychiatrist to ask for some help as I had planned to end my life.

I also sleep walk & I have already harmed myself while I was sleep walking. My wife is frightened to leave me alone.  I have now been seen by the Psychiatrist, only to tell me it is stress I am suffering with & that I don't need to see a Psychiatrist anymore. Yes I do have stress, everybody has stress, but the fact I told them I had planned to end my life only to be told it's stress I have & I no longer need a Psychiatrist.

So now after many years with psychiatrist help I only have a few appointments with a psychologist. I am really frightened if I kill myself while I am sleep walking, where I already caused myself harm & my wife is scared to leave me alone.
