Im with camhs, and i see a phyciatrist nurse and a phyciatrist doctor once a week, they have diagnosed wme with moderate depression and ptsd, they've put me on flueoxtine (anti-depressents), and they have refurred me to 'Bridgeway project' and 'Outreach', i also have a social worker, and you may also be refurred to some other companys like me to xAny one been to camh (child, adolescent mental health)?I've been there. they can be good, most places would have some nice people who want to help. it's nothing to be scared about.
they're basically the public health systems mental health care for people under 18. they have teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, and probably other people. they're also like the outpatient care for people who have been in hospital.
they do therapy, psychiatric assessments, teaching, and most likely a whole other list of other things that I've never been involved with..
^^ is what I've gathered from my own experience btw. you should probably ask the person you see more about it.
though just so you know, they're very different to private practice. when it's in your file, anyone who has a connection to your case will have access to it. at least they did with mine, which I hated.. but, it's not something that you should worry about. if you're there for therapy, you should only see one person, and it will remain with that one person.
hope you find it helpful. don't worry too much, it's a great opportunity to get better!
