Dad needs urgent help but don’t know where to go

[R0098]

Hi,

I wondered if anyone can suggest how I can get help for my Dad. He’s been suffering from depression and anxiety a lot over recent years and then had what a psychiatrist called a Psychotic episode at the end of last year leading to a suicide attempt. He has recently got bad again and seems to be going towards another psychotic episode. He is now not under any mental health care with the NHS and the crisis team have been useless. Does anyone know where I can get help from? I don’t mind paying but I just don’t know who can help. Thanks

When I had a similar crisis, dh rang 111 I think, and they told him to take me to our local a&e department where we were met by the on call psychiatrists.

I hope you manage to get help xxx

Thank you x

@R0098 go straight to A&E as a place of safety if you can 💐 I hope you and your dad get the support needed ❤️
