"Struggled to get help"

About: Northgate Hospital

I tried to get help here through my GP, but just got messed around. I got phone calls from Northgate hospital asking why I missed my appointments. When I never received any letters or phone calls to tell me when my appointments were. Because of this my treatment was non existent and I was made to look like a lier to my GP. My GP didn't believe me when I told them i wasn't told when my appointments were. So my GP thinks I missed my appointments on purpose. I now have no confidence in getting help for my mental health problems. Also It will probably be harder for me to get any therapy if I have the confidence in a asking again. Thanks for nothing.
