To ask what happens now (MH related)

[cjt110]

I have been open, honest and frank with my GP. They have referred me to the adult MH services. The appointment was 2 days ago with my GP and they (MH Team) called me tonight to have a chat. She asked various questions and I was mainly open with her. Perhaps not completely revealing how I feel. She did say my GPs risk assessment stated I had had thoughts of harm. Thoughts. Not plans. Just thoughts. I confirmed to her that it was only thoughts and I wouldn't act. She said they would have a team meeting and discuss referral for me to someone (I can't recall if she said psychiatrist or psychologist. I've had CBT. I've had talking therapy. Neither have helped for me.

I told her I'm becoming reliant on alcohol. Am fixating on my weight. Am highest of highs and lowest of lows...

What now? Is it a psychiatrist? Or Psychologist? What then?

I've exhausted all the SSRIs and then been placed on trazodone then mirtazapine. The lady seemed shocked(?) At the last 2 medications....

What now?

Bump

Reboxitine and that family of medication really helped a friend of mine. I think they are not ssri but sdri (?) dopamine

I imagine you’ll be referred to a psychiatrist for a more in-depth chat and a medication review. What talking therapies have you tried?

A 6 week stress course, Group sessions and CBT...
