Mental health GP

[Marianna]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend me a GP practise in the area that's sensitive when it comes to dealing with mental health? I have bee registered at the Lordship Lane surgery, and was essentially dismissed and made to feel quite embarrassed when I went there seeking help.

Thanks

If you're in their catchment area, which does spread quite a long way into Dulwich Village and down East Dulwich Grove, friends have spoken very highly of Herne Hill Group Practice for mental health care (and I've found them wonderful for physical health care).

One of the GPS at Forest Hill surgery deals with mental health patients and is very good.

That is unacceptable- perhaps also consider writing to the practice manager

There are 2 surgeries in Lordship Lane which one are you referring to?

How dreadful to hear of your recent experience. I understand that it is a big step to go to your GP to discuss any mental health issue. It also takes a lot of energy when you in that space in your life. However, great that you are taking control .

As a mental health nurse , I was upset to hear how the experience made you feel. I do hope you get to register with a practice that demonstrates a good understanding of all mental health issues. Although, I do not know of a recommended surgery in your area. Am happy to discuss anything if it would help.
