Why do you think that sectioning to get the appropriate treatment would kill her? Suicide is not common at all in mental health inpatient facilities, its far far more common in people who are trying to manage in the community not getting the right help!

Sectioning is the most appropriate treatment, and for them not to take her in is disgraceful and I should not have to be contacting the local mp to get treatment.

The amount of people who have commited suicide in this area because they have been let down by the local mental health unit is not acceptable.

And a lot of them are known to police and to the mental health services at being at risk and are being left to get worse without the help they so obviously needed but didn't get!!

what treatment has she had or is receiving now? Is she on any medication?
How else does her OCD impact her life apart from shopping and the need to wipe things before she uses them?

She is on medication and has been waiting since October 2017 for CBT, and was promised an appointment with a pyschologist 6 weeks ago, she's still waiting.

The OCD has overtaken her life completely, she cannot cope with daily life, and it's gotten past the point of anything we can do for her, or any suport groups, or reading books or tips etc.

Mental health, the crisis team, nhs 111 and the gp are all aware how bad things are but we are passed from pillar to post and it's all too much for us to handle.

So you are saying that everybody you have spoken to agrees with you that she should be sectioned, apart from mental health ?


I dont know how sectioning works, but surely a doctor can do this if they think your daughters life is at risk ?


ie - not eaten for 7 days ..


It all looks a bit wooley this tbh

[STRIKE]If disagreeing with people on this forum is deemed as aggressive so be it, no one bothers to read my posts saying about getting her help but being let down by the local mental health team for getting her sectioned.

I did ask for how you would deal with it and you replied but spoilt it right at the end.[/STRIKE]


Thank you for taking the time to write that thorough response

Fixed that for you

OP, Why dont you just take her to A&E and speak to someone and get her to tell them she WANTS to be sectioned as she cannot cope and is feeling suicidal.

Will private medical care enable you to access other services?

Perhaps the sensible thing for you to do is not concentrate on the one thing that you disagree with in a post but look at the 95% + that you see as positive.

So what has exactly happened with your local mental health team. Have they seen your daughter? Why have they refused to section her.

If you read the op's other posts you will realise that his financial situation won't quite stretch to private medical help.

I have no idea what is going on with the op, but I will say that mental health provision is inadequate to say the least, although I do think a young person who presents as not eating for 7 days would get some kind of emergency assistance and be taken seriously.

Our own experience is that as long as it is kept within the family the authorities concerned are very slow to act. My husband has a relative who has been repeatedly sectioned, but only when they threatened members of the public and never when it was just the family suffering. I wish more could be done, but I suppose the finances and resources just aren't there.

OK, so can the OP sell their house and possessions and dramatically downsize? Free up funds?

Again, if you look at older posts the OP is in social housing.
