Seeing my psychiatrist with my CPN

"Seeing my psychiatrist with my CPN"

About: Adult Mental Health Services - Community (County) / Newark & Sherwood Local Mental Health Team (LMHT)

(as a service user),

Well, I came out of my last appointment with my psychiatrist and my CPN, who just sat there and didn't say anything.

I felt totally unsupported and left to feel at risk. I told my consultant afterwards that I felt suicidal, who then said they'd listened to me for 35 mins, and ended the appointment.
