Hi i seen the crisis team when I was misdiagnosed with cancer. They were very quick to meet me 2 people very professional and understanding. They said they would phone me at 9am i didn't get the call until after 1 o'clock which made me very anxious so when they say a time it should be that time because when you're in a very anxious state it makes things worse.
Leaving that behind because everyone is human and things don't always go to plan this not a criticism in any way towards the 2 people I met with. When I got the call I was assured that I would see a consultant psychiatrist and was seen at 4 o'clock same day of which I'm very grateful. The psychiatrist was very good and understanding because it wasn't just the misdiagnosed cancer but I had been suffering mental health issues for 25 years or more. She changed my medication and everything was on my terms which was very reassuring I can't speak highly enough about the service I will give it 9 out of 10 it would have been 10 if the phone call was at the time I was told.so thank you very much for everything it was a life changing experience for me with the proper medication. Many thanks
