Another Local Man Takes His Life. There's Not Enough Help in Wales.

When you ask for this kind of help here you are constantly turned away, and even told that "there's nothing wrong with you because you're working". If you're lucky enough to get to see a mental health professional then you are told the waiting list to see a psychiatrist is at least eighteen months. There is a severe shortage of psychiatric nurses in this area.

So don't get out your rope or tablets just yet, don't book the taxi to the Cleddau bridge, hang in there for eighteen months or so and you may get some help! Anyone suffering from a severe mental illness knows that each and every day is a struggle. Being told to wait eighteen months could just put the nail in their coffin.

I feel so sad for this man's family :-(
