I felt like I knew the Queen, I had psychosis. I travelled to Buckingham Palace in London. I was stopped and searched and arrested and spent nine months in Wandsworth prison. I was scared of some of the inmates and I mentally deteriorated and refused to share a cell. So, the special team came and escorted me to the hospital ward. As soon as this happened four and half/five years ago I stopped smoking and generally felt better.
I got the care I needed on the prison hospital ward, but when I was admitted to St Andrew's Healthcare initially things were bad. Once the staff got to know me, I was helped.
I think the staff could have been more compassionate when I was first admitted and this would have improved the rate of my recovery. I have felt more positive as time has gone by.
