"Dismissive, condescending and downright abysmal..."

About: South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

I do not have the mental capacity at this moment to give a full review, but having made 3 suicide attempts in the past month. The last being a week ago and having experienced cold, uncaring, dismissive treatment with absolutely NO after care, just a slap on the wrist and a condescending...don't do it again and having had 10 years of atrocious/non existent treatment within the mental health services, I am literally at the end of my tether. I have been told my problems are psychological and they can't do anything for me as the psychology services have a 2 year wait. Also I am under a Psychiatrist as I have Bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, dissociative disorder, along with a whole host of other mental and physical problems.So how my problems can be purely Psychological is beyond me! Especially as I received a letter from the DVLA 2 days ago stating that my Psychiatrist deems me unfit to drive as I have a Psychiatric illness!! So where was the Crisis team and HBT after I left the A&E 6 days ago? Nowhere. Not even a list of phone numbers to call if I was feeling suicidal again by the patronising Mental Health Nurse that discharged me. Enough said...
