As a long-term psychiatric patient, I’ve had superior care from the NHS | Letters

In a letter to the editor, a long-term psychiatric patient shares their perspective on mental health care in the UK's National Health Service (NHS). The writer acknowledges that the quality of care can vary, but states that their personal experience with the NHS has been positive, describing the care as "superior" despite limited resources leading to long waiting times for appointments. The writer refutes the claims made in a previous article that mistreatment is common, asserting that they have never been treated badly, even during their worst mental health episodes. The letter provides a contrasting viewpoint to the criticism of NHS psychiatric care highlighted in the earlier article.
