"Crisis team are fantastic"

About: Adult Mental Health Crisis Services / Crisis Team County South

(as the patient),

After 2 suicide attempts and self harming, the crisis team came to ky house daily to start with and delivered my medication weekly so I hadnt enough medication to attempt another overdose with. The staff who came were different people each time but not once did I have to repeat my story to them. They were clearly very well informed and aware of my situation. At one point I said I still felt quite anxious so they went back to the doctor and sought advice. My medication was immediately increased to a higher dose and delivered the next morning. They clearly have my welfare at heart. I am now on weekly visits but I know I can ring them for support at any time, which I have still done when I've had wobbles. I've heard a lot of bad press about the crisis team but I honestly cant speak more highly of them. They are with me every step of the way until I'm ready to continue my journey in my GPs care. Dont be afraid to call them. They're fantastic.
