Hi guys,
I'm not really sure where to post this.
A letter came through my door this morning saying is been referred to the primary mental health team for an assessment. I didn't even know I was being referred at this point, but I'm not complaining!
My appointment is Wednesday, but I really don't know what to expect

Anyone had any experiences? This is my first referral despite being on anti-depressants and diagnosed with depression for 3 years

Will be great to hear from you.

Thanks

Stay Strong

I think it's always good to cast your net as far as possible when looking for a support team. What will probably happen is you'll talk through your history of mental health and be asked questions about your lifestyle. The first appointment is generally just to get a picture of the problems you are facing and what kind of support that can be offered to you. It can be scary but I hope it means you can get access to any help you need.

I was with them for 6 months. For me they talked to me and we talked about my struggles and they assessed me. However Im not sure exactly how they work completely as I was admitted to hospital and so my case was quite different, and I ended up with a long term care co-ordinator. But I found it helpful, and I know others have too.

Thank you both for getting back to me.

I hope so too Helen, my mind is open to anything so we'll see

Thanks Ellie. I'm really glad you found it helpful, I hope it'll be the same for me. I guess I'll never know if I don't go though!

and thank you both for the support in replying. Sounds like nothing too much to get too anxious about (I say that to convince myself haha)

Hope you're both alright.

Stay Strong
