My brother was depressed and not answering our calls.
We put in a wellness check. Police were hostile and rude and escalated to violence.
He received compensation and an apology. Bodycam showed my brother, even in his distress was the only one actively trying to calm the situation. The more he tried to calm the Constables the more hostile they become. It was like they were offended at being asked to take a breath and take a step back. The beating he received has him terrified of police.
He won’t seek counselling, he won’t phone crisis lines, he cut off family and friends. He is terrified of saying he is struggling in case police are sent again.
When his house was being broken into he phoned police, and was transferred to his local station. The Cop said he was delusional and didn’t want to send a car, the Constables simply didn’t believe him. He now knows there’s a note on his file/record.
He managed to get the voices of the people breaking in and then the Constable agreed to send a car.
The issue is, police see him as the enemy and crazy now. He has no delusions but PTSD.
He has no trust in police. He feels gaslit.
He took himself to the A&E. He wanted to stay and get balance.
He asked if he could leave when he wanted.
He was promised he could, he was given a sheet of paper to sign, he again asked if he could leave when he wanted. They again said yes.
The minute he signed they told him if he attempted to leave they’d send police to get him. He wasn’t allowed to leave the ward.
Now, he’s cut himself from all support.
He won’t go to the hospital again because he feels they lied.
His whole mental health recovery is stopped because he’s terrified that if he admits how bad he is, police will comeback and he won’t be safe.
It’s hard to argue with him, there’s definitely aspects of bad mental health driving his fear, but he also has real world experiences to back all that up.
We think he will eventually die at his own hands, he thinks death is safer than police and the system.

Had to wait 3 days in a "place of safety" with no sunlight or fresh air. All after being promised that I would be there for no longer than 24hrs.
Was only allowed to leave after crying, screaming, and basically losing my mind in there. Barely slept the whole time as there were no beds, just those weird big uncomfortable blue things.
Not to mention that there are a bunch of other people in there making loads of noise. When I was actually taken to a room in a mental health ward, I was then moved again after a few days because the hospital wasn't in my area and they needed the bed for someone else.
I don't know how people are expected to recover in these kinds of places, but from my experience they just force you to take pills until you are no longer an issue.
I sincerely hope that if I am ever having a crisis of that nature again, I am able to take my own life before I am subjected to an ordeal like that again. Things really didn't get much better once I was actually in the right ward.

I completely agree there needs to be separate centres compared to a&e departments. A&E is not the place for a mental health crisis. It’s not the fault of the nhs staff in the a&e departments that they have to prioritise those that are critically ill. As inconvenient as it is for those suffering to wait three days, it’s because those that are receiving the care wouldn’t be able to physically survive three days without treatment. There needs more funding towards these mental health crisis centres, more training, more initiative for the public to join the mental health sector. They should fund apprenticeships to help the public gain mental health qualifications as there are many interested in the field that do not want to go to university and get into debt in order to work.

Although mental health crisis are awful..,, there’s so much emphasis on Nhs and others ‘sorting the problem’ and when u do see a professional no one likes the measures they take?
You can’t win.
This expectation that someone else is going to sort of out… when in reality I mental health crisis all they are doing is trying to save the life if the persons injured themselves… and once that’s sorted ensuring they can keep themselves safe.. if they can’t they go to higher cars where they are watched and probably medicated. That’s the reality there’s no wonder cure I don’t know what people are expecting
