Local mh team

[Elusiveone]

I have depression and anxiety and under cbt therapy which isnt doing me anything since may. Im at a low point and cant continue like this. I see many people talk about there mh team eg mh nurse and crisis team. How would i go about getting this please as im so low and depressed and all my gp does is up my meds. Ive hit rock bottom and cant find my way out. Im seeing my gp next week.

This is something to discuss with your GP as they can refer on if they think it's appropriate. O believe Iin some areas you can self refer but it varies and your GP will know if this is possible in your area. If it's more urgent and you don't feel able to keep yourself safe go to A&E and they can get you an assessment from crisis team.

Sorry to hear you're struggling. Could you ask to see a different GP? One with MH experience? My DP's GP came from a MH background and is fantastic. You need to request that your GP refers you to the CMHT. You can call the NHS First Response number. They deal with people in a MH crisis and may be able to refer you to the CMHT, bypassing your GP. I will find the number and post it here.

Oops. Not sure if First Response is just in my area. Please Google 'NHS mental health crisis number (xxx area xxx)' and see what comes up. Good luck.

Thankyou for your replys. Sorry taken me ages to reply not been very well. Will see my gp on tuesday as talking therapies are not helping and keep putting me in group therapy which really is not working for me. Thanks again x
