The NHS is great but it has limits: yesterday was the first time I've ever heard a GP drop their official demeanour to let their anger at a lack-of-resource situation show.
My local area has very limited provision for mental health services related to Autism or ADHD; he got angry that they were failing patients, having to tell them to go private. (Meaning me in this instance, and another two people last week).
I have a suspected diagnosis of ADD (My GP didn't think I had the Hyperactivity component) and I'm now left to pursue diagnosis and treatment/management through costly private services and self-directed care.
Good job I didn't go to them with a problem with task-accomplishment, or anything. :blobcat_angery:
Hard not to feel a bit abandonded. Unsupported. Very reminiscent of me going to them with my Tinnitus where the best advice they had was "try not to listen to it".
These days I don't go to them unless I really need to so to be let down yet again is a bitterer pill than it would be otherwise.
