Trust me, you DO NOT want to use the NHS for mental health stuff.
Too much of my c/ptsd is from nhsmh services now. The sheer amount of blatantly ignored abuse on those wards has left me terrified of hospitals, healthcare workers and doctors. They can do anything to you in there and you have no voice or rights. They decide what gets written down about you. They decide what happens to you and you belongings.
I've been told by several people who've been in/worked in prisons, that you have more rights and safety oversights in prisons that on mh wards here.
Out patient care is not much better either. 5+ year waiting lists for 30 minutes of cbt ever 6 weeks to treat your suicidal depression brought on by chronically shit living conditions, isn't going to be at all helpful. Nor is 7+ years on a waiting list to see a burnt out healthcare worker for ten minutes, who immediatly decides you're malingering without listening to you or reading your supporting paper work, so you are now deemed unworthy of progressing up the ladder to join a waiting list to see a specialist for your condition.
Wow so your healthcare is chronically underfunded too. Do you also have the privatization ghouls constantly scratching at the edges as well? I hate those guys. Don't know how to get rid of them, because the well-off folks want to let them in (to the henhouse).
Our current 'Labour' government is increasingly far right, despite their once socialist origins. The Conservatives who were in for over a decade before them, gutted and sold off a lot of the NHS, and now Sir Kid Harmer is twisting the knife and finishing the job.
We could have fixed this had the Israeli funded hate crime of our ruling class not slandered and ousted Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party. He is a socialist who supports actual human rights, both here and in Palestine. Had he been allowed to be PM instead of Starmer, the privatisation of everything was going to end.
