MENTAL HEALTH TEAM!

So, when we were told by the Mental Health Team that therapy would begin as a matter of urgency and was seen as a priority in the recovery process, I hadn't realised that t could begin as quickly as UP TO A YEAR AWAY! How good is that for someone who is recovering from a serious mental 'episode'? And if I don't like it I was charmingly told to 'refer it to the government' !!!!! WHAT? If this was known when Christina was discharged WHY WERE WE NOT INFORMED? WHY WEE WE MISLED INTO THINKING IT WOULD JUST BE A MATTER OF WEEKS? Oh, I suppose it IS a matter of weeks - at least 52 of them! The mental health nurse who came to visit this afternoon admitted that all they can do is CONTAIN the condition through medication at present because of lack of resources. So, who do we hold responsible? Eh?
