After two previous complaints about the community mental health team at the Buchanan Centre, Coatbridge and the lack of support given and cover for holidays and absences etc and being given the same apology, saying things have been learned and changes will be made, it has yet again returned to the same old lack of contact from my CPN.
This is despite having fortnightly appointments to see my CPN then them stopping suddenly without notification and no follow up appointment with my psychiatrist - who had told me to keep up regular appointments with CPN and discuss with them problems with medication. But my CPN is not there. On discharge from hospital I was told I'd be re-admitted for respite twice a year only for this to be taken off the table also. My O/T is trying their best but is not qualified on issues like medication etc. I honestly feel like it would be better coming off all meds and going it alone.
