I started going there just over 3 years ago with depression and suicidal tendancies. My care started off well until my CPN went off sick then never came back, since then i spent over a year waiting for new CPN to be assigned and it was only my GP chasing them that one was. Since then i have seen them twice in nearly 2 years, last time i saw them I asked to be transferred to Canterbury as i felt that they didn't give a damn about me. They said they would and would take 6-8 weeks to do referral (LOL that was 4 months ago and i'm still waiting). As we left i was told unless i'm a serious threat to myself or over people i will not get the help i need, even now i am still chasing them, leaving messages but yet receiving no call back at all. I'm disgusted with how they show so little concern or regard for mental health patients
