Therapy not working

[Carys]

Treatment by 'youtube' cool......

Irn-Bru OCD is a new theme......

All I can say is..."What a tube..."(An Alan Brazil (ex-footballer)saying for a "numptie")

Yes not much I can do if they can’t offer anymore help that’s why I use forums

That explains why Elen mentioned Scotland then.

You don't have IAPT up there as your NHS is well behind he rest of us. That explains why it's so hard to get any therapy from them.

I would suggest pushing your GP. The psychiatrist sounds like he is just picking up his pay checks until he can retire.

Also, Scotland and a footballer? Should be a bit cheaper You mentioned not everyone supports the team they are from so I hope it's not a Rangers/Celtic mix or you might need the riot vans on standby

I was considering emailing my theripst and ask if she thinks it’s worth having a couple more sessions or what since my ocd is bad and nhs don’t give therapy?

Have you looked into free therapy Phil? It’s usually run by Mind, you can self refer.

Sadly Mind & Rethink don't operate up there.

Your NHS can do therapy it's just they are operating on the old NHS model where it's all through CMHT level. Down here the NHS brought in IAPT to sit in between GP level and CMHT. Maybe your GP can put pressure on them?

Yep I mean the type of therapy he discussed was a psychologist to teach relaxation and said YouTube was better. I just don’t think they want to offer Cbt sadly.

I could have a few more private sessions in hope of it working eventually I’m not one for chapping in doctors doors demanding help I’m more reserved that way and don’t like to go

Surely if Phil is seeing a psychiatrist he's on the CMHT level anyway?
