"Beyond a joke."

Posted via nhs.uk 5 years ago

The staff, including psychiatrists, tend to 'gang up' on you and declare you mentally unwell even if you are fine- at least in my experience.
I have repeatedly- and sometimes aggressively- told them that there is nothing wrong with me yet they remain adamant that I should receive treatment (ulterior motives are indicated).
The staff do not listen to your concerns about medication (e.g. the side effects) and you have to wait a long time to see the 'Home Treatment Team' even if you have an appointment.
I would not recommend this Centre to anyone and continue to fight against them declaring me mentally ill.
