"Low standard of care"

My care was of a low standard and psychoanalysis was poor. The nursing staff I met showed a lack of empathy and the ward environment felt like a boarding school for naughty school children, rather than an acute adult psychiatric unit.

My own medical notes from 20+ years of professional psychiatric analysis were ignored. In my opinion bad decisions were made by the psychiatrist (such as a rapid removal of medication that I'm dependent on) which gave me awful side effects (which side effects were denied to even exist despite obviously being a well established fact).

 As my condition worsened due to the removal of necessary medication, my worsening symptoms and subsequent hypomania were treated as rebellion rather than concern. I saw staff on their facebook / instagram very regularly. Very poor service overall, disappointed, went in to get help at an unstable time of long term mental illness, and came out in a far worse condition. I will be following up this breach of duty of care with every avenue & resource available.
