Dont treat Mental health patients at all well

Story from nhs.uk

"Dont treat Mental health patients at all well"

About: Yeovil District Hospital / Accident and emergency

I was treated as if I was a looney and belonged in a lunatic asylum.

I have depression, severe anxiety and panic attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One sister accused me of imagine things....

I have never imagined anything in my whole life.

These people think that all mental health patients are the same...... There are many mental health illnesses, just the same as physical health illnesses......

Very BAD TRAINING INDEED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
