Bolsover Community Mental Health Team - Chesterfield

Getting a little bit better support then before. Feeling a little bit more confident with them then I used to. They are trying I think. Finally got me on a managing emotions course after mentioning it for a long time but not taking action for me to do it until recently so that's positive. People can progress if they have the determination to want to get better as long as they have the right support, are listened to, and communicated with. I do wish they would be monitoring me better with communication for the different medication I get put on and follow up better.

I dont think a lot of mental health professionals realise people who have MH, specially if caused by trauma and neglect, often don't have the ability to know how to make things better and struggle to understand themselves because of how trauma and mh conditions have rewired how their brain works and they need help to understand this and to understand how their brain is working and what steps to take to change things.

ChatGPT explained a lot to me no psychiatrist has ever explained to me about how my truama has effected my brain functioning and if they had, I'd probably of made more progress a long time ago instead of feeling so much shame for my MH.

This service is terrible because it is ridiculously understaffed and underfunded.
The medical secretaries are as helpful as they can be and are approachable & friendly but they just aren't given what they need to do a good job and ensure proper care for their patients.
In the 2 & 1/2 years I've been with them, having transferred from another CMHT, I've had to fight to see/speak to a doctor every time with multiple chases being made, even when the doctors know I'm at rock bottom and verging on suicidal.
Dr. Gopal does his best but he hasn't got enough people for the number of patients.
Doctor turnover is in competition with Aldi checkouts for speed, which means you see them (if you're lucky enough to get a face to face appointment, which are rarer than hen's teeth) once, maybe twice, before being handed to someone else.
It's about time our NHS was funded properly, especially mental health services. #ToriesOut #BrokenBritain

The rudest woman called me today, after I requested a CPN call. I hung up on her before I completely lost my mind.

Absolutly useless. Pass you from person to person no-one had responsibility. They do not listen to patients or their families absolute disgrace face of mental health services. Mental health deserves more than this.

The mental health team say they will help you and then don't , give you a cpn and then take away with the other hand and they leave it to my husband to help me when it is bad and he is not a trained cpn or a Dr , it is ridiculous at times to get them to help ,say ring duty worker who is changed to another person every day 😠😠

If I could give this place less then I would. Do not trust these people. They are also extremely inept and lack professionalism.
