Rejected

What the petition asks
The NHS needs more funding and OR guidance on other forms of therapy (other than cbt) so that they stop turning people away when they deem them as “too complex”
The government needs to look at how the nhs treats mental health conditions as a whole but especially those with CPTSD.
The government needs to look at how the nhs treats mental health conditions as a whole but especially those with CPTSD.
The NHS is turning away people with diagnoses (and those without) for mental health conditions such as “CPTSD” as they are saying these patients are “too complex”
These are people who have tried to better themselves (with support from the nhs) but as they need therapy more specialised than your standard cbt are now being told the NHS cannot help them.
This is life threatening, professionals have not been able to help these people but now they are shunned away left to fend for themselves.
