It seems to be the running trend with Bellegrove for staff from receptionists to Drs talking over patients.
My husband and I attended to discuss mental health support for him after I suffered a horrific month of MH issues (a result from one of your medical practitioners telling me to come off strong medication for anxiety due to pregnancy cold turkey).
We were simply told to go a&e if hes suicidal and we will again for a third time be put on a waiting list for Mind support (over the last 4 years). When I explained (tried to) that no one contacts us she simply told us how there is no mental health services for children... clearly she has not heard of CAHMS.
We also tried to discuss my non epileptic seizure but her telling me (although she has never heard of my condition before - diagnosed for the passed 16years) to try anti epileptic medication.
I'm not surprised hospital staff are so overwhelmed as when we try and seek help we are, talked over, not understood, not cared for.
