It's so very sad that the help isn't there more readily I prayvthis will highlight the despatrate situation your very brave coming forward to do this document n wish you the best in your future I pray that this will make papers news to bring this situation to the front line to help youngsters sadly its the same pattern of adults as s I well know
My son took his own life just over five years ago his so called help stopped because he didn’t turn up for a meeting when he passed he’d been taken off the mentle health register even though he was suffering from psychosis, he had medication but no actual help, when I spoke to a doctor shortly after my son passing he said it’s a bugga when that happens 🤷♀️ I’m still in shock at that comment! I have had no help with bereavement counselling even though they say there is plenty out there I’d like to know where? The last time I reached out probably around a month ago a lady told me to just Google it as she had more important things to do ( it was a bereavement helpline) I’ll not be seeking help anymore as I firmly believe as my son so clearly did! There is none, people are just interested in themselves and no one or nothing else maters it’s a sad reality 🤷♀️
I relate to this so much,I had to go private at 18 and pay £500 for a psychiatrist as the nhs sent me to Cahms from 14-16 constantly telling me it’s my period and hormones,turns out I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder ,bipolar 2,adhd,dyspraxia,dyscalcula,depression and anxiety I was sent to hospital loads from self harming by my own school that refused to test me and told me I was naughty and rude I am now 23 and have only just got on meds for adhd and that’s after spending a hell of a lot on private appointments and psychiatric appointments etc ,nhs is useless the only way I got help and diagnosed was going private ,and I’m lucky I had the support and opportunity to go private I also tried to kill myself not long ago and they kept me overnight and the next day let me go like nothing happend Honest it’s no better now it’s just getting worse I didn’t once get the help I needed or any assessments from the nhs or any other health services until I paid for it
It took me three years to get professional people to acknowledge that I wasn’t faking my mental health problems. On numerous occasions I was given false hope of getting help throughout that time and it made me feel worse then I did before
My Daughter was diagnosed with Bipolar as a teenager. We got no help what so ever. We pay £150 a half hour for a physiatrist and £60 for therapy. My Daughter is now 47 and we have spent a fortune. Mental health is a horrendous illness plus medication has awful side effects. We love our Daughter and owe it to her to keep her safe. I wirry what will happen to ger when we are no long here.
You literally have to fight for your life to get a diagnosis. Too backed up with illegal immigrants. I was lucky and found the strength to put in complaints and finally get what I needed.
I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder when actually I was Autistic 🙄 12 years later and still not had any help apart from when they falsely medicated me for Bipolar 😂
I have brought a person to the Mental Hospital who told them he was going to kill himself. They turned him away. This was in America. I think this is a worldwide problem

I was gaslit by mental health. They were also very prejudice against mental illness in general. (It goes for ALL AGES, not just younger people).
Not sure a lot has changed in the last decade..

Unfortunately I think this is quite common 😔
Mental health is also not a priority in america hospitals and clinics are shutting down everyday
Maybe you have to go berserk while waiting in the emergency make yourself heard just let it all come out and be loud, force them to help you
