I suffer with severe depression. I have spent years trying many different things to help myself. The problem I have is getting any help from the medical profession. My GP is happy to give out pills and has referred me for counselling, but there is a long waiting list. I have been to a walk in mental health clinic and waited for over an hour only to be told there was no one available to see me until next week. I told the receptionist how desperate I was and she was apologetic but said there was nothing more she could do. It's ridicuous isnt it? It's like hitting your head against a brick wall. And I dont have any energy for that any more.
Does anyone else know how to access the mental health services that are out there?
