They should start monitoring the service c.a.m.h.s. How do they expect children and adults to cope better when they are seen every 4-5 months for a 45 minute appointment? It’s a joke. My son was lost in the system, took 6 years before his diagnosis at age 11. He’s now 14 and hasn’t been at school for 3 years of secondary school and 4 years of part-time 9am to 12pm before that. C.a.m.h.s is the only service in Scotland who deals with the diagnosis and support of childrens mental health.
