Mental health patients at risk of suicide discharged from NHS without adequate support Patients coping with severe mental health conditions that mean they are afraid they could harm or kill themselves are being discharged from NHS care, unprepared and without support in the community.
The Independent has heard from patients who say their mental health has deteriorated because of the discharge process, which has left them feeling powerless and damaged their faith in services meant to keep them safe.
Others grappling with addiction issues have been ejected from inpatient care and told to get clean before the NHS is able to treat their psychological issues.
