I have had anxiety and panic/ mixed depression/anxiety for many years. From 96 to 2004 I had a CPN in my old area because I had a complaint against my local psychiatrist (details towatrds bottom of this post) From 2006 to end of 2007 I saw a Consultant in a neighboring town (same NHS Trust though) for simply talking every b6 weeks about 20 mins . no drugs, no actual treatment. had a right long dispute about my access to mental health services recently and wrote on the forum about it. In a nutshell I asked to be rtransferred back to my city mental health team. They offered me a consultalnt though whose wife works at the same Trust in the same unit (as a psych) and I had previously complained against her so I refused to see that Consultant and asked for another. As a result they discharged me. After a lot of letters and a complaint to the M.P they caved in an offered me a fresh appointment with another Psychiatrist with and say they want to assess me for OCD. No one ever thoight of that before in my case, and the Psych who I asked to be transferred from had between times many months later has written to the GP and made out he discharged me himself on the basis I had no psychiatric problems and that the Trust should refuse to see me !!!
I have yet to see the new psychiatrist for the assessment which will focus on OCD. However, reading between the lines it seems they are referring to the numerous complaints and hundreds of letters I have written over the years in connection with healthcare services, and that they know I got sacked from previous jobs for complaining. Presumably this is being seen as potentialklly OCD BUT and there is a big BUT. If the Psych decides that my conduct is not compulsive, but is rather voluntary, I think I will be ruined. I have IB and DLA and professionals over the last 15 years havce been as a mixed anxiety depressive case with panic and some obsessional tendancies. If they now follow the lead of the psych who I finished seeing, and say I have no primary mental health problem, and obviously no OCD would be the same thibng, then it follows I will be seenn as a calculating troublemaker, probably lose my benefits at next reviews, and kept at a chilly arms length by the medical profession for the future. Do you folsk think this sounds dangerous, they only offered the consultation after the MP intervened and have put in a letter that " you may not" require secondary services. They kept refusing the appointment for 4 months until he intervened, and quite obviously DID NOT want to see me at all, hence cannot see them being very helpful. I once saw a Psych at the Trust back in the 90's who made some mistakes in recording what in said, those errors were potentially jeopardising my benefit claim and I asked for corrections. She then wrote to the clinical manager refusing to change the note and stating she felt I was trying to engage her in a crimninal conspiracy to defraud. |So having complained against her (getting eventuallty an apology) complained against another Psych in same team, and then refusing tom see that psychs husband, I am now obviously (so obviously) a legendary patient in that Trust. I feel that to see the Psychiatrist now is a big leap, a dangerous one, probably contrived for them to reinforce their rec ent refusal to see me. For them the ultimate way to discredit me now is to make out I have no categorisable mental illness and avioid dealing with me
Any advice out there, on whether (a) this sounds like a potential OCD scenario
(b) what generally do you think of the situation and any guidance ?
