Summary: Completely unhelpful
I was put under camhs care a few years ago for self harm and suicidal thoughts etc. i was very alone and struggling and did not trust anybody. i was actually hearing voices because it got so bad. All i was offered was DBT (that was not the root of my problems, in fact the depression made me emotionally numb, i would only react when severely provoked) and a couple other therapies, one that would literally involve me just 'telling the voices to go away'. i was discharged, made to feel like it was all my fault and i was the one who had to change for the horrible circumstances around me at the time, and told 'good luck' without feeling as if there was any impact on my mental health. It was all blamed on my autism. i have yet to receive any care for either my mental health or developmental disabilities. Horrible, horrible service. Can only hope its gotten better.
