I didn't get any therapy. I had very little support. When I finally came forward to tell them that I suspect I have OCD because I have intrusive thoughts and compulsions, they discharged me saying it was autism. Every problem I had was assumed to be autism and they used it to deny me help.

They have to remember that they're dealing with mentally challe... read more

I want to shed light on my experiences the past few weeks with this service especially today 24th August 2024 I will post below. Last Saturday Rebecca Goodwin called me to inform me they cannot diagnose me on the phone as I’m too complex and they think I have more things going. I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since I was 10 years old (this call is for mu adhd assessments). She then proceeded to tell me that reception would call me during the week for an appointment for 24th August now keep this in mind here. On M... read more
