Hi Everybody,
Been to the Community Psychiatric Nurses' this afternoon. Enquired again about CBT. She seemed to think that it could take over a year with the current waiting list. Already been waiting 3 months. What are other peoples experiences with waiting for CBT. This is in South Yorkshire BTW.
Sorry to Moan,
Send Word,
Peter

I was put on a list in July 2010 - still waiting. As it happens I don't need it now but even so that is a long time!

Well. It sounds like anything over a year could be run of the mill.
Is it really that good ?CBT i mean.

Hi
I was referred by GP in April this year, saw a MH worker about 6 weeks later, had 2 sessions with him then he referred me for high intensity cbt. I had my first session 2 weeks ago, she has offered me 8 sessions initially.
this is in NW of England
Here's a thought. As i am potentially becoming a mature student again. Does any one know whether being an NUS Member will make any difference in accessing CBT ?

i live in the South west. on diagnosis my gp advised me to seek private therapy, the waiting list here is around 6mths to see consultant then up to a year for therapy. I couldnt wait that long & went to a private psychologist, it was expensive but she has helped me get my life back, i have no regrets about the cost.
