"Mental Illness"

About: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital

I recently ended up at A & E because of how bad my Mental Illness has got and I was spoken down to by the triage nurse and did not feel supported in anyway and I was not even checked up on which then got me in a worse distressed state.

I then ended up discharging myself without anyone realising I had gone and ended up seeing my GP the next day who was not entirely happy by the way that I had been treated at A & E and now I am having to have regular checkups with my GP because the mental health services have got much worse where more and more patients with Mental illness are now ending up at A & E which ain't very helpful especially if they get treated in the way that I did.
