I'm currentry
training as a counselor, and hopefully am going to be working in the system, but with kids who are in and out of care/foster kids etc.
I have run a few work shops with them before and it really hard, but they seem to relate to me.
mental illness should be taken seriously, however the NHS and the government seem to push cbt a lot and it isn't the correct treatment. because if your between levels there is nothing for you unless you go private

I was wondering about that
So you can't get CBT on the NHS? I suppose thats why GPs are so over keen to prescribe medication?

I wondered whether CBT was available on the NHS
and found that it was. There is a very good website that provides excellent computer-based CBT (well, it helped me to handle my 'darker days'). They also provide counselling in conjunction with the other resources. You can choose to purchase any of the various options but the NHS paid to provide them to me. If you want the link to it then message me.
I'm not saying it's the best treatment for everyone and definitely isn't a 'cure' but it certainly helped teach me how to prepare for some of the blacker times.
Oh, and I don't have any connection to the company.
