Staff dismissed mental health concerns without listening

Many of the clinicians at this practice appear to lack understanding regarding mental health matters. They have repeatedly referenced the frequency of my contact requests, despite the fact that I am currently experiencing a crisis and have been seeking support for an extended period. Additionally, there were inaccurate comments made about my scheduled appointments with my mental health team, when in fact those appointments had been cancelled. Mental health concerns deserve the same level of recognition and importance as physical health issues, yet I felt dismissed and made to feel like a burden rather than supported. This kind of treatment contributes to broader concerns about mental health care. I have documentation to support that the characterisation of my contact frequency is inaccurate. In a recent appointment, I felt the clinician showed limited empathy and appeared to rely heavily on information provided by my mental health team regarding risk assessment, rather than forming their own understanding of my situation. I am deeply concerned about how this interaction has been documented in my medical records and the potential implications. This experience has led me to decide to transfer my care to a different practice.
