Let down and ignored

I feel you man.... I am having a rally hard time following a self diagnosis that I have made what I am still waiting for an assessment.  It has been four months or so now in trying to get some sort of assistance in how to handle my new reality.

Thank you

Hello Richard, i'm sorry you are finding things a struggle, but the community here is a great source of information and help if you want to use it.

You can only use 'right to choose' NHS scheme after a GP referal - just speak to your GP and tell them you want use use the scheme.

You do not have to pay with right to choose, it comes from your GP funding.

There is some infor on the Psychiatry-uk site about how it works.

The diagnosis info pages here may be worth a read if you would like to find out more about the diagnosis process, etc.:

In the meantime, fire away with any questions you have - the more specific the easier it will be for us to answer.

You may find the search function (the magnifying icon on the top right of this page beside the Donate button) gives a lot of information from previous discussions, but if not then fire away with your questions.
