My daughter was sectioned for her own safety and told us it was like prison. She didn't see a consultant for 9 days and was then offered discharge the day before her tribunal. It took 4 people to agree she needed help and 1(who didn't know them from zilch) to send her home.She said she'd been stashing her tablets and no-one checked, she had used a broken mirror to self harm and no-one knew, we brought her food in because she couldn't eat what was on offer - after trying to get help for her for years I feel that this was a total waste of time. I am just grateful that we have the support of the early intervention and crisis team.
