ngl if you have bpd you basically "get away" with your eating disorder in mental health services like ed services told me weight restoration would be harmful for me so they discharged me and cmht wanted to medicate me and i said as long as you dont prescribe me meds which

I identify as #Borderpolar. I was diagnosed with #BPD/#EUPD in 2016 at age 32 & first treated for #Bipolar1 with #Psychosis 2 years later.
At present, I am waiting for my #CMHT to increase my #Aripiprazole & put me back on #Pregabalin.
Hanging on thanks to family & friends 🙏🏼

Yep. CMHT said if I didn't accept treatment for BPD (which their services said I don't have) then I'd be discharged
Do you know some people are refused access to MH care and treatment if they do not accept a diagnosis (BPD for example) they disagree with even if they are noted to be a significant risk to themselves. But if they accept the dx and treatment they can access services. Coercive?

My psychologist & family therapist I was seeing privately disagreed & wrote to CMHT to say so which ended up making things worse. They agreed to meet & cancelled last minute with no reason, just to say I could complain to PALS. That was the end of it

Yeah I find the model of CMHT only supporting in crisis which has taken over now v unhelpful. What I probs needed was to be properly diagnosed and a longer period of stabilisation and formulation so they could do a really good handover back to GP

Locally it is CMHT & Orthopaedics, when questioned they don’t even reply, zero governance, secondary care shrug 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Ah yes. Reminds me of my second psychosis. Withon days of leaving hospital the CMHT rejected the referral. "To be managed by the GP".
There are no words.
The whole profession feels Dr Kumar’s grief.
We all empathise with this outrageous request. What’s happened to mental health trusts? Where’s the oversight for these failings? It’s happening on a national scale. It’s a silent catastrophe.

Doesn't get better as adult & the psychiatrist gets dropped too, as ones for adults don't do autistics. And CMHT have at various times said she won't meet recovery targets, has too high needs & they wouldn't know where to start.

I'm also up north. My trust responded to the FOI by saying they route dissociation through the PD service, but in my yrs of being under them I just got CMHT staff with creepy interests in CSA. I got 30 sessions, but for DID its not enough, & CBT isn't the right therapy. 1/

I think Nuwan even if we went with the idea that GPs should initiate antipsychotic prescribing, how are they going to monitor for early side effects? I do think the problem is CMHT/PCLS in secondary care largely have retreated to advice service status.

If NELFT CMHT don't see people in crisis at risk of self harm as in previous multiple reports and they don't take on people needing anti psychotic medication for the first time I can't help wonder who they actually do keep on the case load.
