I am absolutely disgusted with the care team at Millbrook hospital. My husband had been referred to the by his doctor because he is desperately in need to some in depth mental health care. He has been extremely suicidal for the past six months and the doctors have tried to treat him for over a decade without success. He needs specialist treatment but the doctors at Millbrook hospital are refusing to even see him as apparently he is not ill enough.
It feels like we have to wait for my husband to actually take his own life before they will look at anything. Never mind that he is in the age group where men are most likely to commit suicide. I hope someone at this hospital will be able to explain to my two children why their father wasn’t considered important enough for treatment if the worse happens. I think that if they had lived with this illness for as long as we have then I’m pretty certain they would be falling over themselves to treat him. I think the lack of treatment is absolutely shameful.
