Dying while I wait

I am sure this is not an experience that is solely mine at the moment. We are all left waiting months if not years for any kind of support. Despite mental illness being the biggest killer of young people, you will not wait longer for treatment for any other illness.

Two-fifths of patients waiting for mental health treatment contact emergency or crisis services, with one-in-nine (11%) ending up in A&E, research by the Royal College of Psychiatrists has found.

Is it not obvious that the NHS is wasing money as it fails to treat the most common illness in this country and putting people in unecessary danger?
