What do you think of youth mental health care?

Mickey Isle: HelloI have so much I could say on this particular subject..I have in fact spent 5 years in pursuit of honest explanations as to the hows, whys and wherefore of the workings of mental health service regarding young people..This involved both the Health Care Commission, The Health Service Ombudsman and eventually General Medical Council..It appeared to me that so many "allowance" were allowed to Health Care Trust that were the cause of my complaint, it was a pointless effort on my part..If I had been able to employ legal help, I believe,it would have had an entirely different prospective. Unfortunately, from my situation, I was not in a financial position to do that.. So, although the Trust in question had been found to be lacking in many areas, because I did not have the funds to take this further, to bring them to court, they were allowed "off" lightly...Even though my son lost his life because this Trust was influenced rather by priority of those cases whic! h would gain funding for the Trust, rather than look to help those most in need...I'm afraid I cannot explain all to you..It would take far too long..I am extremely interested in your project.If you feel I can help you at all. please contact me...Anything that would help bring forth changes..I would like to help with..A friend to your project.....Show more

Eulah Hugill: My mental health care kinda sucks. I work for a major hospital and my coverage is limited to their mental health clinic, which is an absolute dump.

I waited for an hour for my appt before walking out. For that facility I would have to pay a $20 copay. There are 2 other types of providers for my health care plan: some I can see for half of whatever their hourly rate is, and the rest I would have to pay full price for, depending on what plans they participa! te in....Show more
