Question:

Answers:
If you think you are experiencing mental health problems, your first step is to go to your general practitioner and explain your situation. This doctor may refer you to a counsellor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or, as you said, a mental health team. From your post, I understand that you have already done this and have a mental health team. If you feel they are not listening as they should, my advice is to try one more time to explain your situation and see how they can help you. If you are still feeling that you are not being heard- tell them! And find someone else to help you, another doctor, another team. You deserve the best service and support for your problems.
Good luck and I wish you the best!
GO TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR

You are always entitled to a second opinion, and if I doctor doens't take you seriously. FIND ANOTHER ONE.
