My experience is that CAMHS has failed to support their patient and constantly fail to listen to concerns and seem to make up events to distract attention from the poor clinical support offered. NICE guidelines are not followed and young persons under there care are put under pressure to try and get them to make up stories.
Counsellors, I feel are unprofessional and even male counsellor felt it off putting talking to a yong person in need of crisis support when they had phoned from the bathroom for privacy. I felt the counsellor was inappropriate with their comments.
I feel that for 3 years, a young person in need of post trauma support has been neglected, subject to bullying behaviour and told they do not have a mental health illness. Counselling support has been ad-hoc and not consistent and overall diagnosis has been refused with misleading verbal comments never followed up with the GP. Overall, do not recommend any young person to the CAMHS -my view is that they are a disgrace to the NHS.
