Carers Mental Health – Browse This Section

More than 80 the 1069 percent county workers eligible to be in that plan have signed up.a few people had not known what to look out for, what to expect or how to address difficult situations when they arose.

Still others felt information about benefits should have helped since they struggled financially.

Others said they initially had not known how important So it’s for people with a mental health problem to stick to their medication. Others said they had not been informed about their powers as next of kin to stop some involuntary treatments. One woman said a health professional had ld her about a voluntary organisation, ‘otherwise I never will have known about it’, Some had been helped by voluntary organisations. Now let me ask you something. I didn’t think mental health problems, it must be so, how can I say?

Consequently I made a lot of questions but also I didn’t know what to ask still what ‘carers’ means.

It’s, ‘carer’ is one word but so it has got very much different meanings, and individuals has got different lifestyles, and circumstances, and diagnoses are different.

I could imagine what that means, when first the time I heard the name. You are a carer, first time I actually looked into dictionary what that really means, I didn’t, my, just to, Know what, I didn’t register the actual situation in this country, ‘carer’, what really it means to people. Thence I made contact a few month later. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. I was still confused actually after I was said you, Aiko, you’re a carer, To be honest I was really confused again even more. Things sort of started opening a lot clearer. I think I was doing plenty of research by myself. Therefore, as long as Jim was out of work, that was really chaotic. Wasn’t able to go to work, we had to claim for benefit.

So a huge problem for people.

All the things I had no info I could get, besides it’s been recognised and there’s a treatment, and the support.

I think the advisor gave me some information, that related to this carer’s support service. For example, yeah, and I hereafter started looking for some support for myself. That means you are the carer, the local. One of their advisors said. He’s got a psychiatrist, he’s waiting for treatment, you are looking after him. In the end, people found helpful information in books, on the internet, via carers’ groups or community centres. Usually, people complained that doctors, nurses and akin people working in services had not given them much information. Some said what they got was ‘too little so late’, others said they had to ‘go out and get it’ themselves.
