Abandoned in 2017

Story from nhs.uk

"Abandoned in 2017"

About: Devon Partnership NHS Trust

My mental health problems still exist alongside lifelong physical health conditions making life just an 'existance/endurance' .....why is it I am not seen as a 'nuisance ' for my physical illness's and have a consultant for 'life' & a specialist nurse wheras my co - existing mental health 'conditions' are now deemed as 'can't help you' and discharged from services.- contact DAS for help even tho had a care co ordinator for years..... everday 'life' is a struggle and life seems pointless.....PALS contacted so don't advice me to contact them.....

DPT just don't care and cast you aside and leave you to fend for yourself / adding burden to already overloaded GP services who have to take on the consequences of being discharged and left with no support ( no family.....)

Thanks for your feedback about our services. It’s very distressing to hear that you feel abandoned and that life seems pointless to you. It’s not clear from your comments whether you have already been in touch with DAS. If you haven’t, please do make contact with your local team. You will find contact details for all the DAS teams across Devon on our website: www.dpt.nhs.uk/our-services/depression-and-anxiety-das

DAS provide a range of support options from face to face appointments or telephone conversations and the treatment approach is through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Whether you choose to give DAS a try or not, please talk to someone about how you are feeling.
