private assessment and therapy fund

Hello !

Some of you may know me personally but for those who don’t my name is Meg. I am 26 and currently live in Glasgow.

I have had various referrals to NHS psychiatrists and therapists from childhood til now that haven’t helped me. Without going into serious detail, I have persistent issues with self harm, depression, emotional irregularity, psychosis, obsessive and intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depersonalisation, trauma related stress and hypomania. I have received unfit care from the NHS in relation to my issues and have been passed around various services with no firm diagnosis.

My mental health has been progressively declining for the last few months. I am currently signed off work and have been unable to leave the house without experiencing debilitating panic attacks. I am leaving Glasgow to move back in with my family as I am struggling to care for myself at this time. Financially, I am swimming in debt and my family aren’t in a position to fund everything privately.

I need a private psychiatric assessment so I can receive a diagnosis and be recommended psychological therapies that will help me. I have been pricing these and most initial assessments are anywhere between £250-£600 depending on the complexity of the patient and the length of the appointment(s). This cost plus the cost of further therapy sessions is extremely expensive.

Whatever I can raise, I will put whatever I can from my own money towards it. Thank you to anyone who can donate, I’m so sorry to be asking for money in such a hard time for everyone financially. This has been one of the toughest years of my life and I can’t wait to get better. Much love ❤️
