Fair point - I'm talking about what *should* happen. I know that in some areas, some NHS services are less than stellar, as the head of the CQC pointed out recently. My local GP practice are pretty strong on mental health so I tend to see things done well. I'm sorry your local services aren't so good. Is it in any way possible for you to access a different practice?
You're right there! Some of the health boards are awful. I'm in the NHS Ayrshire and Arran and the whole attitude to mental health sucks big time! Our local practice is quite large, so I've recently tried a GP I hadn't tried before and he's been a lot more understanding. My previous GP was extremely patronising. But for some reason, I just kept going to see her! I got really ill before Christmas and couldn't eat for about 10 days - so via an emergency appointment, I am now seeing this different GP. He's been more proactive and ordered many tests to get me back on my feet. I'm having big problems with a hiatus hernia, but my previous GP kept telling me that I shouldn't have any pain or trouble eating with it. So, over the last few years, I've become very depressed and anxious about what on earth is wrong with me. However, I've just been to see a consultant who immediately said that my symptoms were not imagined and there was something definitely wrong in there. Cue me worrying that I'm about to croak! So, I've to have an endoscopy (again) to have a look in there.
The new GP is far more understanding about how I will struggle with all this. But if I want to be referred to CMH - it'll be at least 6 months! Our practice are just not equipped to deal with people like me who have a real physical problem, which makes an existing anxiety problem worse - vicious circle!
I had thought about trying another practice, but it's some distance away from us. Difficult ins't it?
I'm trying to be hopeful that the endoscopy with show that my hernia has grown and causing all my digestive probs. If I know what it is, I won't worry so much!
Roll on Friday so I can have a gin!!!!!
