Holly Lodge

Yet again another very bad time there at Holly Lodge? So I finally get to maybe a diagnosis and see a shrink via a laptop screen :( Well for one there was no introduction just a generic name call and follow me not I am such and such etc. Then the zoom meeting we'll let's just say I e ded up walking out as I totally disagreed with what j was told. So unprofessional to say the least,to think this is what we're up against is a home. Holly Lodge should be turned into something more beneficial fit the public as it serves no purpose for those with mental health issues!!!

Went for an appointment and was told I was not allowed in the building until my appointment time so waiting outside in the rain, then a lady turned up half hour early for her appointment and was allowed inside, very judgemental staff later that day I taken a overdose

If there was a choice for no stars then that would be my choice. My Dr sent a referral to them and they sent it back asking him to do their jobs and to report back how my day to day life was affecting my mental health, and basically saying that I was looking for meds, well I'm a anti pill guy for one so that is so wrong. also blaming past relationships on my notes for todays episodes. A month later I was given a cancelation appointment I still would be waiting for one, so I turned up and was confronted to a very frosty reception? firstly can I wear a mask I said no I am exempt why was the reply not that it is any of their business and also the very fact mask wearing was now abolished and it was illegal to be asked why a person is exempt. so now I get escorted into a room with my partner and basically was on edge from the start because of the start, well for one I was judged from the start in the fact that I can get agitated easily and talk really fast. at one point she turned to my partner and said " I would have to put him in another room if I lived with him" I felt really low after that as it is the response in everyday life but to hear it from a mental health nurse well shell shocked is all I can say, my partner picked her up on it and she did apologise but it should not have been said in the first place!!! so my diagnosis is down to this person who i feel she thought there was not that much wrong with me without even knowing my life and my walk etc etc. I would not recommend Holly Lodge at all, I would rather pluck a stranger off the street and talk to them then go to so called specialists. And yet the media are always sprouting on about mental health etc etc yeah all good if your celeb not a real person with real dark issues!!!

This gets a one because it wont let me go into the minus numbers. Poor service. Best way I can describe my treatment and the nurse who comes to see me every other week is I have an awful friend who I see every fortnight for coffee. She usually texts last minute to say shes had a better offer..( theres a meetings I must attend, sorry) never checks in to see where I am ok with my mental state or I it will be ok to have waited a month to see her. Ive yet to see how the service is going to help my mental health improve. Weve been in contact since July, 5 months now. Should have know from the start as my very first appointment was cancelled!
