My daughter has had a mental health problem since she was around 14. CAMHS helped so much then they were amazing.
She then went over to adult mental health services and this experience was very disappointing. In all she was told that she was not ill enough for them to help... since then she has been given 2 different types of medication and is receiving help from Harmless. Nothing more.
Unfortunately as the medication didnt seem to help she overdosed on her pills 2 weeks ago. An ambulance was called and off to hospital we went. Hospital staff were fantastic.So back to the gp we went after a 5 min chat with the hospital psychiatrist. The GP has upped her meds to the top level that she can have and informed us that a re referral to adult mental health services probably wont get us anywhere although she has re referred her. I am not only very disappointed with the lack of service that is available. I am at my wits end in finding more help for her as the NHS doesn't seem to want to help her only medicate her.
