About: The Bradgate Mental Health Unit

I am a 58 year old working women with past mental health problems, when i started to feel very low and suicidal last year I was fast tracked to see someone...Unfortunately the person i saw was unable to prescribe and had to keep nipping out to confirm what they could give me, I was incredibly upset and felt i was being fobbed off and they couldn't wait for me to leave. they didn't have all my notes from previous breakdown, I explained due to feeling so down I had put weight on, they then nipped out for a 3rd time to get me a prescription, I left feeling that i wasn't listened to and they really couldn't give a to damn how I felt. When i got home i googled the drug they had prescribed for me and discovered its side effects make you eat more! I was so distraught I made a plan to end my life, If it hadn't had been for my daughter coming to my aid i would not be here today and its taken me 6 months to write this in hopes it helps someone else! I would never come back here and would rather end my life than suffer the indignity of being treated like a 3rd class citizen.
