My mother was admitted to Julian Hospital in the last few weeks of her life, and the staff were extremely caring and responsive, setting up meetings with my elderly father and myself (not easy, as I work overseas). When my mother's terminal cancer diagnosis came through, it was communicated by Julian staff to my father and I with great sensitivity. Thank you all.

I got referred to see them quarterly, I've got a drink problem and the psychiatrist told me that they can't help and dropped me because I'm drinking, they left me when I was vulnerable. They stopped my medication at the same time without telling me. If it wasn't for my support worker I wouldn't have got any medication or help. You tell your life story to one person which is really hard and then you never see them again and have to tell it all to someone else.

I've been waiting for some mental health support, I have been on the waiting list since December and have gotten absolutely nowhere. It's not good enough for the level of need.

My husband was in end stages of alzheimers disease and was sectioned and luckily got a bed here, where he received the most wonderful care and support through to his eventual passing. I was supported and cared for in the most compassionate and supportive way through his final days.

The cognitive therapy supporting early dementia at the Julian Hospital was very humanistic and fun.

Was previously referred for a period where I was assigned a professional help monitor my progress with mental health as an irregular outpatient service. Friendly, compassionate staff at the time, but received very little actual help and seemed to be pushed to try and self-discharge by moving onto self-help websites.

Received a letter out of the blue discharging me due to no longer fitting criteria for care and was not allowed to return, for no reason anyone could give me with GP or at Julian o ... ther than having been with them for a few months. Some months later experienced a major crisis and an unsuccessful attempt at ending my own life.

Was given an urgent care review within a few weeks from GP that was humiliating and resulted only in being told to call their hotline if things got worse and to consider self-help. When suicidal ideation returned I called the line and nobody responded.

I am sure this service is useful for some but I have been completely let down when I needed the help the most and was treated as if my serious crisis was something that I could fix with internet resources and nothing else.

I am passed from person to person, each giving contradicting information to the other. Whenever i have one ‘good day’ i’m told i no longer need their help, and could be passed back to my Gp, which in turn sets me back knowing i can not get appointments with my Gp as they say it should be the mental health department dealing with me.

They promise groups or outside help that never follow through. I have been refused from one group because of my ‘mental health’ i was told i needed work ... with a psychologist and have been waiting over a year.

My carer was told they would find a group for him for ‘stepping back safely" but after telling him this for many many months he is still waiting.

When i’ve been suicidal the julian as well as the crisis time has told my carer to get me to have a bath and cup of tea, i don’t have a bath nor drink tea!

I was seen by Spencer clinical lead for mental health. He was amazing. First time I’ve seen someone so compassionate about his job. A Good listener and a credit to you all. Shame there wasn’t more like him.

Passed from pillar to post people say they will ring ,but dont,no one knows what they are doing,tried to kill myselfthey to me to go home and have a bubblebath!
