"Avoid this hospital at all costs"

About: West Park Hospital

I was admitted into this hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown the nursing staff where Horrible to me the doctors where evil when I was discharged the after care was terrible my social worker was a rude arrogant bully they would manipulate my care and try too talk down to me when I needed help I was told " I have no interest in helping you I'm only interested in getting you discharged from mental health services " when I told them I suffer from schizophrenia severe depression social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder they replied " I don't care about any of that people like you need to get down the job centre " it's been awhile since I was discharged and it has given me time too reflect and I have come too the conclusion that mental health services in Darlington Are a complete waste of time they won't help you they will make your situation worse seek alternative therapies do not use the nhs
