Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice about navigating CMHT decisions in the UK.
My partner is under CMHT with ADHD, OCD, and BPD, and has significant difficulties with emotional regulation, compulsive behaviours, and daily functioning.
He has previously been sectioned and continues to have ongoing suicidal thoughts, which the team are aware of.
A previous psychiatrist (who has since left) advised that he needed a care coordinator and psychotherapy. However, the current plan is to discharge him back to the GP with only 6–8 therapy sessions to support the transition, and access to some community services.
I’ve raised concerns about his suicide risk, impulsivity under stress, and the lack of ongoing monitoring or support. He has never actually had consistent therapy, and I’m worried this will just lead to a cycle of deterioration and re-referral through the GP.
I feel like my concerns aren’t being fully heard, and the response I keep getting is that this is just how the service is progressing.
Any advice or similar experiences would really help.
