"destroyed and left to suffer"

About: St George's Hospital

I used the service providedby st chads house, I suffer with PTSD and it is extremely difficult for me to leave this review as I am still terrified of the therapist I spoke with and their colleagues, I was terrified throughout the time I had therapy and distraught at how I was treated, I never believed people in the caring profession and say that they want to help can inflict so much trauma. I will never recover from how I was treated and have developed several lifelong illnesses as a result of placing my trust in the staff at st chads house, I am still in shock from the things they did and the things they said. I am a human being, I wish I wasn't, I wish I was just a number but people have feelings and many whom have mental illness have suffered a lot of trauma and emotional distress in the past and to have placed my trust in someone who slammed the phone down on me, repeatedly told me I was not a priority, who traumatised me over and over again then discharged me leaving me terrified of everything and everyone and a shell of the person I was before, then to wish me all the best. It truly is a joke that these are the people in charge of peoples health. I will never forget the repercussions of using this service or the arrogance and self absorption of the therapists and medical professionals I met with. But I've learnt I am in fact nothing as the person I only ever trusted believed this to be true, but never mind eh, all the best.
