Utter ****
When I have been assessed in hospital I get assessed by nurses only. Not doctors because I am not allowed to be admitted. I don't have a psychaitrist anymore for that reason and because the meds they gave me made me worse cos of severe side effects adn I refused to take them anymore.
EDIT: There are no advocates where I live (there were but it turned out they weren't qualified so had to stop offering the service)
