"Terrible"

I waited 3 months for an emergency appointment and finally got one on my birthday.. quite depressing. I was suicidal, depressed and had anxiety. The appointments are terrible I usually have one every 5-6 weeks, I was asked to come at a later time because they were ‘so busy’ and then mg appointment was cut short. Today I had one , I went and there was nobody there. I waited for 20 minutes and I left, wasn’t wasting anymore time. I’ve asked to be referred to a different mental health service. I do not recommend Camhs, they don’t want to be there they don’t help af all. They won’t put me on antidepressants and ive been told that I need a psychiatric evalutatuon for the past 4 months yet it still hasn’t happened. Highly unsatisfief they make you feel like you’re doing everything for attention and put words into your mouth when you can’t explain something.

Hi, we're sorry you've had this experience with the service but thanks for raising the concerns. We would very much like to find out what has happened as you shouldn't have waited this long - please could you contact the service on 0161 716 2020 and ask to speak to Joanne Needham or John Birch. They will be able to take some info from you and then offer further advice. Alternatively you can speak to our PALS team for support with raising these concerns on 0161 716 3178.
