   Comments: They made me feel so uncomfortable, and I only had two sessions with a counsellor. They never asked me back, and now I'm doing worse than ever.

   Comments: camhs didn't help me one bit. All the did was tell me everything I already know, solutions I've already tried/heard of, asked me the same questions session after session and basically spent 3 or 4 sessions explaining what depression is when I already know and understand more things about depression than most people. They didn't help me with anything.

   Comments: I was actually REJECTED by CAMHS even though my doctor sent multiple letters about my deteriorating self harm and suicidal thoughts

   Comments: I was referred to CAMHS by my gp, after 3 doctors basically treating me like I was just attention seeking. I went there, expecting to get help, and all I was told was that my relationship was the reason for my self harm and that I wanted depression, when in reality, my relationship is the thing that's saved me from going too far multiple times, and I asked for a test to see if I did have it, as a reason for why I felt so low all the time. I was constantly compared to their other patients, being told they were far worse than me, I had a small test, as a "guideline" and never found out the results, I was also told they'd monitor my weight as I showed disordered eating habits, which they never did, and when I did finally get tested, I was told "I'm 95% certain you have anxiety and depression but I'll have to wait for the results to confirm it", I never received the results and was taken off the counselling because I missed one appointment due to an exam. CAMHS are ridiculous, my friends have told me they can see I'm getting worse, but I'm now terrified of trying to get help in case I get treated the same way.
