I have been MWs sole career for about six years. During his time there have been periods of very bad violence both mental and physical and there was a psychiatrist involved from the start. MW is now under medication and is generally much calmer but can still be awkward if she does not agree with something.
Things could be worse and I am happy to carry on but I feel let down by the psychiatrist who seems to want to walk away as he has been transferred to another section of the same nhs group. So far this year he has not visited MW even though there should be no lest than six months between visits. Since he first got involved he has not been proactive but he does know all the background to the case and all I wanted was for one last visit to assess if the medication was still ok. MW has deteriorated to such an extent that she is unable to make a cup of tea and has to be directed to the bathroom and helped to undress etc.
I have asked the psychiatrist to visit but he refuses to even speak to me and I feel that he is acting in a very unprofessional way. We are in our mid eighties and things are dfficult but the action of this man have made things worse.
Sorry about the rant but as you know things can get you down although there are many in a worse situation
