My daughter is depressed after being admitted to the children's ward after cutting herself and an overdose she was referred to cams they failed to acknowledge any problems. Der hello its not rocket science we told them of the quick turnaround mood swings that she would just sit banging her head on cupboards but seem like they just wanted to brush respnsabilty off. After a program on tv yes i no its tv and some research that i did she had symptoms of depression and PMDD which people don't seem to know a lot about or have never heard of like the first GP we spoke to. Later her own GP said its defiantly a cause of depression but because of her age which she is now 15 she has to be reffered to cams so not holding my breath the appointment which eventually came through was for 4 months away when we asked the lady on the phone at the hospital she said thats all they have,my wife said if she cuts herself or goes out of control she could be dead by then and to our disgrace the woman just LAUGHED that is just not professional.
