Millbrook Staff do a great job

"Millbrook Staff do a great job"

About: Millbrook Mental Health Unit

(as the patient),

I was brought to Millbrook by my Mother who had taken me to my GP the night before as she was worried about my mood and state of mind. I thought I was just going for a counselling session and ended up being sectioned.

I weren’t happy at all in fact I was going crazy and blamed my Mum shouting and screaming at her. 5 days later I feelt so much better for it.

I feel bad for her for how I responded to her and the doctors but I’m sure they understand and have seen a lot worse. I was always led to believe if you went in Millbrook you were crazy, maybe so but you won’t get the right help unless you go and all in all it’s not a bad place at all the difference it’s made to me in 5 days is unbelievable and I can’t thank the people enough.

The staff do a great job. I do believe I’ve got a long way to go but things can only get better for me.

Thank you to all staff and my Mum
