barnet mental health trust no longer works with people with ASD

peterainbow

so after having to fight to get a proper assessment so that i could get targeted help, having got that barnet mental health trust have now chnaged it's rules and now no longer offers help to people on ASD

this seem like discrimination to me, i now have to go and get my GP to go and argue with the main NHStrust or something, so basically it won;t happen

i suffer from sever depression and anxiety and although my psychs help has been limited, he has at least made me feel that i'm not on my own, he told me today that he can no monger accept appointments to see me as i am ASD, he doesn't agree with this but this is what BMHT have told him...

surely this cannot be right, i now have nowhere to go...

  • well it is what they have done, the psych couldn't have been clearer yesterday, he would not/could not make a repeat appointment to see me because i am ASD. he said i have to go back to my GP.

    they are hiding behind saying that people on ASD need specialised help and that the BMHT does not supply that.

    i am currently off sick from work, due to the usual mixture of bullying/stress/depression and i now have nowhere to go, just drugs that don't work

    they have apparently sent out a letter to all, so i am baffled as to why NAS and others aren't challenging what seems to be blatent discrimination.
