CMHT knew of my mistrust in them and my stubbornness to fully engage with them so it’s no surprise that the next people to call at my home failed to introduce themselves and what they were doing there.
In walk two new people into my house. One, who I later work out is the psychiatrist asks for a cup of tea and then says very little until the end of the meeting when he talks about the history of psychiatric hospitals… The other I find out later was an AMHP (Approved mental health professional) who did most of the talking. I can’t remember anything that was asked. I just know I didn’t want to take medication and didn’t want to go to hospital. What I do strongly remember are my final words towards the end of the meeting when she says she already has one psychiatrist recommendation for hospital. It then clicked that the meeting was an MHA Assessment. I reply:
“This is bullshit. This is bullshit”…
