After not receiving the correct care from my GP, the NHS direct advised me to go to the nearest accident and emergency department and speak to a member of the mental health crisis team. After a four hour wait someone finally came to see me, but all I was told was unless I try to commit suicide there is no help. So in order for me to receive help I have to seriously hurt myself and seriously risk dying? I came out more depressed than when I went in.
