As Buttercup mentioned, they provided me and my husband with support. And have also referred my husband on for continuous support due to the chronic nature of my illness. ( i.e. carers support )


In my experience, their main aim is to keep an eye and try to ensure your safety. I only had my meds altered once whilst under the HTT ( home treatment team) but the team in my area doesn't generally do that without contacting my own regular psychiatrist first, as there can sometimes be a difference in opinion (!).  But that's not to say that the team in your area does things slightly differently. There is usually some form of short term therapeutic work involved but it depends if you are well enough / or able to focus enough as to how that goes.

I hope this makes sense, it takes me such a long time to write as I lose focus all the time !!

My posts at the moment are quite short as I can't really focus enough  :-\

Don't know why quotes don't work properly when I do them  :-\ :-\

Thanks for the info Louise!

Oh god, I know that feeling well. I can't even watch the television at the moment as I can't concentrate on it! I'll be "watching" a programme but if asked wouldn't have a clue what it is about!

Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.
