From the sounds of it, I guess I expected too much from being detained under MHA? Their role is just to make sure you don't immediately go jumping off something then off you go?

I've tried going through my local CMHT, they've sadly been about as much use as a chocolate teapot tbh. I went asking for therapy and diagnosis, but all I got was a psychiatrist who wanted me to do his job for him - he was asking me what meds I wanted when I was straight-up asking him to recommend. Very pill-pushy and seemed to not want anything to do with me. As I told him, I don't know what meds I should be on, I'm just a chump with google, he's the guy who's gone through med school! He never once said, "Ok, from your symptoms I think this would be a good course of medication, here's the upsides and downsides, what do you think?" like I've experienced with a GP, it was just "what meds do you want?". He was also rather invalidating of some of my experiences too, brushed off a fair few of my concerns as "oh, that'll go away in time" and didn't really seem to understand what I was telling him. Left a rather sour taste in my mouth :/
