I ticked I have access to emotional support but that's if I pay for it privately - there was none available and when I had my followup with my consultant 6 months after treatment and explained I was on antidepressants he laughed and said wasn't everyone. I felt very belittled as I have a history and have been suicidal in the past. Just for info for your research! Thanks
