"I suffer from Depression, BPD and trauma."

About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Crisis Resolution Team Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Sligo Adult Community Mental Health Services

(as the patient),

I had a very bad year. I had a miscarriage in oct last year and big problems in my relationship. I wasn't able to deal with the emotional distress since a more than a year. I have suffered severe anxiety, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts. In the middle of September I took a serious overdose which resulted with me in hospital for a few days.

The Crisis Resolution Team were excellent and was very helpful for me after the hospital, but the time between the Crisis Team finished there work with me and waiting of a therapeutic and psychiatric support from the community mental health team I have found very tough.

I'm on a waiting list since. I feel very stressed that i'm waiting so long for support. The last appointment with the crisis Team was well over a week and a half ago. Is there any answer for when I get soon Support?

Dear Bobby,

Thank you for posting your feedback, and I am glad that you found the Crisis Team support helpful. Our community mental health team colleagues are usually very efficient in seeing those we refer to them within 2 weeks of discharge from our team. If you haven’t heard from them, please contact us and we will try to follow up for you – you will already have the Crisis team phone number.

Wishing you well,

Dr E Gethins

Consultant Psychiatrist, Crisis Resolution Team
