I've seen the Crisis Team once, I was referred via A&E and I point blank refuse to go back again. I was having psychotic symptoms (but with insight) and had reached a point where I believed I had to to SI severely.
My experience was to travel for 30 minutes, and spend a lot of time waiting around to be asked a lot of useless questions and once they'd established that I wasn't SU they told me I could go. They then suggested that I should go back on the anti-psychotics which I had stopped taking with permission from my doctor because they made me suicidal.
I was so angry I think I spent the next hour just crying and shaking, which I suppose you could argue is better than paranoid psychosis. :|
