"Getting help with my alcoholism and schitzophrenia"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health (inpatient)

(as the patient),

After stopping drinking copious amounts of alcohol I have found it a lot easier to cope with my mental illness. With alcohol acting as my comfort and protection of the thoughts of my childhood, I have finally realised I can cope with things on a sober level.

Dear Layla

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I hope the services provided by our Trust have been able to support and hep you to reduce your drinking.

As you don't say which service you used I can't pass it on directly to the team but I will certainly pass it onto our involvement lead and general manager.

Good luck for the future.
