I applied to IAPT Back on track as a carer who is struggling. I had already tried the local carers network but because I and the person I care for live in different boroughs they could not help. I have a diagnosis of bipolar and am currently under the temporary care of mental health services for a medication change. Because of this I was turned down for support as a carer, even though this meds change is completely separate from the short term talking therapy support I am asking for. In the letter informing me of this decision, I was referred to my GP but it is my GP who gave me the link to apply to IAPT in the first place. I would have preferred that some one contacted me to fully understand my case.
