My Mental Health

"My Mental Health"

About: Talking Therapies Rotherham

(as the patient),

I was discussing my depression and anxiety about the fear of dying with my GP practice nurse, and became rather upset and tearful. She suggested Talking Therapies and said she would put refer me to them. Later the same day I had a call from them to say someone would contact me the following week to discuss my worries and see if Talking Therapies would be suitable. I then filled in a questionnaire for their records.

The lady rang me last week and we had a good chat about everything. It was decided that it would take approximately 10weeks for a place on a course to be available, but I would receive a call from the Mental health team at my GP to see how things were going.

I am so pleased that I discussed this matter with my nurse as this problem has been ongoing since childhood and is always at the back of my mind. I am also very impressed with how quickly things have got moving over such a short time.

Hey pelicanky45,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us, it really helps us to know as a service what we're doing well and what we could be doing to better support our patients!

I'm glad that we were able to contact you so quickly after your practice nurse put a referral through, and that we were able to offer an initial assessment the following week. I am grateful to know also that your practice nurse is letting patients know about Talking Therapies, so that we can reach more patients who would benefit from the therapies we offer.

I hope your treatment goes well and that you're able to find ways to improve your mood and work through your fear of dying, which you have been living with for such a long time. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and I wish you all the best.

Kindest regards,

Faye

Clinical Lead
