I screamed mental health services down on many occasions, complete meltdown! Result lots of anger and frustration and still no help... waited over a year for assessment so I think what you have been told is pretty much correct as to waiting time. But let them know your waiting, ask them often about the status of the waiting list and convince them of urgency.
I asked my psychiatrist for a diagnosis, as it was not his expertise he could only write that in his opinion I had aspergers. That letter helped me a lot, showing it to anyone where I was going for help. They took me much more serious. Try something like that for yourself until you get something more permanent. Good luck
