Mental health nurse

MrsG

Hi, I'm currently seeing a mental health nurse whilst I wait for my diagnosis but I'm just not 'gelling' with her.  The advice she gives I've heard it all before and it just isn't helping with the anxiety or the depression.  Can I ask have any of you ever asked for a different practitioner?  I just don't know how I go about it and I don't want to seem ungrateful.

Any advice would be very welcome.

  • Thank you so much for all of your replies.  It's clear the person I'm talking to has no real understanding of autism so I may, if I feel brave enough, send an email to the service to see if it's possible for me to speak with someone with more experience with ASD.  I've also ordered a book about anxiety and autism which I'm hoping will help.  Thank you all.
