After what I can only describe as having a panic attack followed by a meltdown I called the crisis team. The lady I spoke to was very patient despite me being very upset. She quickly arranged for me to see someone. I was called by the home treatment team at Bracknell CMHT and asked to to in and see them. When I got there we had a discussion about what was going on to cause my present difficulties. They asked me some questions and we came up with a short term solution to curb my anxiousness. They then arranged an appointment with a psychiatrist a few days later. When I attended I spoke to the consultant about all the different aspects of my situation. She seemed to understand a lot about what was going on already which I can only assume was passed to her from the person I saw at the home treatment team. The medication situation was the root of my problem. She made a few changes and put a plan in place that not only helped me but covered every eventuality and addressed all my anxieties. I was glad I made the call and very pleased with how the professionals concerned handled everything. Well done guys
