what on earth is the point of the early intervention team??
This is the second time i have spoken to one such team in the space of one year and been told I'm probably not suitable for their services. So far as i can work out they offer approx 3 years of support to overcome first episodes of psychosis. I'm sorry to say I've been psychotic myself, and this is not the first time. If I'm not suitable why have i been referred? Is this an automatic 'just in case' referral? Or a simple assessment to see if I am in fact suitable for this or other services? Does this in turn affect whether I will be assessed by a Psy Doc? Its bad enough being told that if I am assessed I'll have to go on a waiting list for god knows how long, much worse not being assessed at all, again. gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
