They think mental health is a joke

"They think mental health is a joke"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

Last night I ended up in hospital in an ambulance after a self harm incident. Not only did they not even look at the wound, I was asked did I need to talk to someone to which I said yes but was then sent home with no treatment. This is a joke considering I'm already in care of the crisis team. The fact that I waited for 4 hours to be told nothing was wrong and I could leave is pathetic considering I had a gaping hole in my leg and I'm in crisis care. RPH need to take mental health more seriously.
