I can remember when I was sectioned once whilst down south
and my Mum told me about a phone call she’d had with a member of staff from the
psychiatric hospital I was admitted to. During the call he’d asked whether I’d
had Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and when my Mum told him she hadn’t
heard of it, he explained his surprise as it is the recommended treatment for
someone diagnosed with a Personality Disorder (I had been diagnosed with
Borderline Personality Disorder). After that, my Mum questioned my Community
Mental Health Team as to why I hadn’t had it yet and why it hadn’t even been
suggested.
