Hi All
I'm new onto this group. I have joined mainly to see if I can get any information to help out a friend of mine. I've known that she suffers from panic attacks and depressive illness but i didn't really know to what extent until Mothers day when i received a phone call from her. She was at her absolute lowest and didn't know where to turn to. Her parents were with her trying to help her and her children but they had never seen her quite this bad. So with no other ideas her dad and i took her to the local A&E department where we waited for 9 hours to see an on call psychiatrist. It was worth the wait though as she now has a point of contact should anything this bad happen to her again and she is now being followed up by the psychiatric team amd her GP who are all now singing from the same hymn sheet.
What I was looking for on here were to hear other peoples stories and the things that have helped them so as a none sufferer I might have a little better insight into what my friend is actually going through and ways I might be able to help.
Thanks for reading this
