in We Need You
A production company contracted by BBC 3 is currently producing a documentary for the channels mental health season examining the issues faced by young people seeking mental health treatment on the NHS.
They are looking for potential contributors, ideally aged between 18-30, with strong views about their medical treatment.
Here are the details:
"We feel that in order to highlight the gaps in mental healthcare provision across the UK we need to hear from young people themselves who?ve had both good and bad experiences.
We will be examining the following areas within the documentary:
? GP treatment.
? The quality of mental healthcare found within A&E.
? Standard of care in relation to self-harm and suicidal cases (including presentation at A&E).
? The treatment provided by the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and issues relating to the subsequent transition to the Adult Mental Health Service (AMHS).
? The support and treatment available to black & ethnic minority (BME) patients with mental health issues.
? The use of drugs and alcohol by young people in treating their own mental health disorders.
? The standard of ?Mental Health Crisis Care? provision within the NHS.
In the first instance, we are looking to speak to any potential contributors as soon possible.
Our duty of care for all our contributors with mental health issues is paramount, so nobody will be committing themselves to taking part at this stage."

Aww sorry - yes that's just been flagged to me too, didn't realise at time of posting.
Just putting in my opinion don't shoot me for it...
You're right, it is becoming more of an issue, but there are legal rights in filming with minors for one thing and for another the proportions are still very different, 1 in 10 for young people and 1 in 4 for the population in general.
But is that not because it's such a taboo topic in youth?
Many hide there feelings until they grasp the maturity level to know what they are feeling needs to be addressed?
I'm sorry with my wording of things but sorta typing on my kindle so using shorter terms lol
Neither is the fact that one of our media organisations is apparently about to do another critical piece about the NHS with no context. At least they are open about it though when they say "highlight the gaps"...
There is something in that, but a lot of doctors think it's inappropriate to diagnose certain conditions (borderline, bipolar, etc.) during adolescence. That won't be everyone's experience but it's a common attitude in the sector.
:yes: I have a "mood disorder".
