CAMHS - Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service

Its been nearly five months and still no diagnosis for my son. Theyre had his form and no one has even looked at them. Absolutely ridiculous.

DREADFUL! 5 years on a waiting list - still no diagnosis! They put you on a waiting list then put you on another waiting list if they think your child has asd. So five years in and no diagnosis. Still waiting ! Child is out of school, suicidal and none of that matters .yes they say they care and well done if you actually see a person .we havent seen anyone since my son was put on the pathways waiting list in March 2020! The service was always poor now because of the pandemic it is virtually non existent.
