To think there’s no help?

There just isn’t any help. CBT, counselling, medication yes. But in terms of getting someone to a hospital who is seriously unwell there is no hope. I have battled to get my mum mental health help for two years now. She has been arrested 3 times for being verbally emotionally and physically abusive towards me. She has delusions, hallucinations and is severely paranoid. She thinks everyone is out to get her. I have spoken to her GP at length these past two years and the outcome is nothing. I have spoken to a very rude person from the mental health act assessment as her nearest relative I am aiming to get her into a hospital urgently before she harms herself or someone else. He said they are dealing with other people. Ok so if my mum gets arrested again due to her mental health she’s going to be traumatised even more and put into a cell and not taken to a place of safety and treated like a criminal when she’s unwell. THERE IS LACK OF FUNDING. I know nhs are working to help reduce covid-19 but I really don’t have much patience for them as they are failing myself and my mother. If she dies I will hold the doctor and police responsible. Any advice.

No advice but certainly a great deal of sympathy for what you are dealing with. I agree....no help. Not tangible, actually improves life help. Crisis management at absolute best. It is a lottery. You are justified in being angry continually going in circles and back to square one.
