I’m new here and disillusioned with the NHS

Hi after years of multiple traumas and severe depression, I finally thought I had made a breakthrough when a Psychologist at my local hospital advised I needed in depth therapy. Yes I thought maybe I could get thing into a better perspective.

The truth of it was that 12 months down the line nothing has happened, the local psychotherapy are only taking on simple patients as they are only using trainees so I have been referred to another agency who will hopefully be able to offer me something next year.

Funding for Mental Health Services is woeful yet all you are seeing on television or in the papers is your Mental Health is important and to seek help as early as possible. Not many of us can afford to seek private help and just feel that I am currently on a roundabout and can’t see a way off it.
