Basildon Mental Heath Unit

Called crisis line asking for help, was honest , as hard as it was, and 1 month on no call back, typical of the society that we live in today! 10 years in "the mental health service" it is a joke!

If i could give this place 0 stars I would. Where do I begin the staff on Cherry Down Ward are so negligent and clearly dont care about patients. They speak to them with the upmost disrespect. They always act as if theyre doing the patients a favour instead of acting like theyre being paid to do a job. They will leave you on your own during a mental breakdown for HOURS on end and they dont usually intervene or ask if youre okay until youre physically harming yourself. This place deserves to be shut down its an absolute joke and im not even sure how its still open and allowed to care for patients. If you care about your loved ones you wouldnt send them here at all.

This service will leave you to die! If you value your loved ones life or your own life please do not go to Basildon mental health! They will dose you with meds and leave to you to get on with it regardless of the affects. They do not keep to their legal/medical guidelines for assessments or medication reviews. This team has a severe lack of understanding & proper training for mental health & the care/support needed for people who are severely struggling & suicidal. Crisis team, first response, recovery & wellbeing, duty line and 111 mental health emergency all leave their patients on the brink of suicide because youre on a waiting list and there is nothing they can apparently do. Medication review & check ups are none existent unless you chase for them and even then youll be likely to wait months to hear back, as there is only one psychiatrist on the team. Distrusting!
