"CPTSD and Cauda Equnia Syndrome"

About: General Practices in Grampian Royal Cornhill Hospital / Clinical Psychology

(as the patient),

I have had a successful career until 2015 despite a childhood of neglect, in 2015 I experienced less than satisfactory procedures leading me to an 8 year battle to return to some form of fitness, I attempted to take my own life at the beginning of this year due to a number of factors including ongoing failures in the health system to recognise it’s own shortcomings, I am now faced with a CPN and psychiatric team who I feel are misdiagnosing my complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) as Psychosis.

The failures of medical practitioners and so called professionals is now systemic including me having my medical records being covered up by the initial GP who failed the diagnostic process in time.

I feel this is an ongoing threat to my independence and freedom as an individual and suggested treatments from the teams contradict NHS advice on people with complex post traumatic stress disorder.

I am logging this for my own protection against individuals who appear to have other agendas.

Dear John33

I am personally sorry to read that you have been left feeling as you describe in your entry and clearly have a strong mistrust in the team you are working with.

I also note you have posted this opinion "for my own protection against individuals who appear to have other agendas". I am sorry you feel that this is required.

If you would wish for the appropriate leadership team to look into your case, I would be happy for you to contact me via gram.citymh@nhs.scot to be able to look into the issues raised further. I work for the City MH team and if following contact your care is not being delivered by our service, I would ensure your case is passed to the relevant locality team.
