Harassment from services

Hi I am enquiring on behalf of a friend, as a result of ppp were new mothers harassed by services such as inapproriate questioning or intrusive questions. Was anyone kept on ' eye' on. How did health professionals conduct themselves?

Hello Pumpkins

At one point during my psychosis I was watched 24/7 as I was so ill with PP. Throughout my treatment and recovery I cannot recall inappropriate or intrusive questioning. We are all so lucky to have the NHS delivering good care daily in the UK.

Best wishes.

No. All professionals helped me, if they asked questions it was what they needed to know. I had trust in them and was fully supported

What did they help you to do?

Get well, look after my child, provide reassurance, identify triggers, the list is to be to say all

The professionals asked the questions they needed to ask to keep my son and I safe and although at times it feels upsetting to need outside input, I just wanted to stop feeling the way I did and knew that the only thing that would help was professional help as I couldn't do it myself.
