CAMHS
- were they useful?
Yes.
- did they respect you?
Yes.
- did they speak in a calm tone of voice or were they rude?
Incredibly calm.
- did they dismiss your problems as "trivial" or did they take you seriously?
Initially (when I had only a counsellor) they dismissed my problems as trivial, but when I got a psychiatrist they were taking me very seriously.
- did they keep your personal matters private/confidential?
Not until I turned 17. Beforehand I stopped telling them anything because they kept telling my parents.
CMHT
- were they useful?
Not really. They're quite useless tbh.
- did they respect you?
Dr. G didn't have an ounce of respect for me, but I think Dr. O does a little.
- did they speak in a calm tone of voice or were they rude?
Dr. G was a rude w*nker but Dr. O is less rude although I wouldn't say she is calming.
- did they dismiss your problems as "trivial" or did they take you seriously?
Dr. G always dismissed my problems as trivial and thinks that I am an "attention-seeking little girl with an overactive imagination". Dr. O takes me more seriously and agrees that I have serious mental health problems.
- did they keep your personal matters private/confidential?
Dr. G and Dr. O both kept matters confidential, but the Home Treatment Team sometimes told my parents when they thought I was at danger, when I didn't want them to tell my parents.
Overall, CAMHS was better.
