Mental Health Svc

the staff are amazing first off and this comment is NOT a reflection of staff. the government run system, however, severely lacks. one must wait several months to be initially seen!!! this is UNACCEPTABLE!! if one is suffering with mental illness of any type and needs immediate help, they're response is....OK, can you come in 3 and a half months????!! they need to realize that when one is in a crisis they need to be seen IMMEDIATELY, not 3 to 4 months!! the gov just keeps taking a huge portion of our earnings leaving some of us in a state of poverty.....they don't care! this causes or exacerbates illness of all types , which in turn drains the system further....vicious circle....too bad everyone couldn't afford a private therapist at the exact time one is needed.

Mental health system is a joke.

I'm basing solely on the care I receive. The staff, doctors and therapists are all nice. The lady at the front desk always greets me by name.I find the lack of adult mental health so sickening though. I had to wait nine months and they weren't easy months. How many people severely hurt themselves or even die in these long waits? Something must be done.
