Millbrook Mental Health Hospital

Very friendly staff. Good quality doctors I have extensive experience with this hospital and out-of-hospital care. I am sure of one million percent if anyone finds Dr. PURI PATHI, they can be sure that they will be cared for by the best of the best. I was the wife of a patient I have never met such a professional doctor in my life. This doctor not only has experience, knowledge, but also patience and a huge heart not only for patients but also for the whole family. is human. Doctor, thank you despite the end of it, thank you, and I will never stop thanking you. Thanks to this doctor, I had the most difficult moment with my mentally ill husband, applause, I wish there were more such doctors! this doctor sets an example for the rest

It was awful experience. I was visited my husband who has mixed dementia. He want to go to toilet but I saw a wet puddle on floor. Told staff to mop it up but took a long time. Once it had been mopped my husband went for wee then I saw poo in sink and I stopped him from washing hands while poo was there - absolutely disgusting. Will fight to get him to be discharged

Eight months ago I moved from the UK to Germany. While in the UK I was treated here due to having BPD. But once I had moved and saw a psychiatrist here in Germany, they told me how in fact I was misdiagnosed and it was something else of a complete different spectrum.How they didn't see I was dealing with full blown psychosis due an underlining illness for the four years or longer I was there is beyond me. At least here in Germany, they don't throw diagnoses at you right off the bat after just one session like they did here. My now doctor takes his time. First treating the psychosis and then when under control , figuring out what illness caused it. The UK needs to take a page out of the german health care system and stop making mental illness out to be just nothing.

I’ve left a lot of negative reviews over the years for Millbrook, some of them articulate, some full of profanity. Either way they have always reflected my experience as an out-patient, which has never truly been positive. I agree with other commenters that both the system here and the building itself are a great visual representation of the state of mental health care in the U.K.In all honesty, the secretaries and reception staff are the most helpful.

Disgusting and absolutely corrupt in a very naive,conniving way,mental health?what a laughable thing for this crowd of 80s revisits!

My partner is currently sectioned here. She has managed to escape whilst they was all stood about on there phones. She is also covered in bruises as they pin her to the floor just for the fun of it. She is being abused here and everytime I make a complaint I am not took seriously. The NHS are nothing but SCUM

My mum went into Millbrook Ward when she had a bipolar episode and we could not manage at home. She was a patient at the hospital for around 3 months. As soon as we arrived to drop her off, we were greeted by a nurse who was lovely, and reassured us we could call anytime. My mum was given the best care by every person on the ward, and she was very fond of several members of staff who she would speak to us about whenever we visited. She also loved the food, and enjoyed being able to choose her meals.We will always be extremely grateful to the staff at Millbrook Hospital - doctors and nurses alike - for looking after our mum. Thank you.

Worst most toxic workplace ive worked at , the whole structure is indemic of people who believe they have the right to speak down to both members of staff and patients.The whole of the staff from top down needs to be removed ASAP put in place better trained staff who have compassion and empathy for the staff and the patients then and only then can it start to rebuild it's self.

The staff was lovely no fault in that it's just ashame I was discharged and made to pack my bags crying that I feel unsafe. I tried killing myself 2 nights earlier in Millbrook and then was discharged and basically left back on my own, after begging and pleading I don't want to leave. You're basically left to do your own thing in there, everyday the same for those who don't get visitors. And hour here and there with an OT but nothing that particularly helps you to get better. Mental hospitals are meant to inspire recovery, as Millbrook had written through the hallways. I left feeling worse then when I came in. My meds where not sorted like they said they would do, the only thing that changed was I got diagnosed. And then that same night made to discharge myself. I understand if perhaps they are struggling for beds etc, but that makes it worse, I was made to feel I wasn't as important as everyone else. There should be around the clock therapy to get people feeling back to themselves so there stay isn't long in hospital or so if they do get made to discharge themselves like myself they do not feel they haven't achieved anything, if I left with a few ways to help me cope and perhaps better support when I did get home. My 3* would be a lot higher. I would say 1* but the staff themselves where lovely and only doing there jobs. Please, sort the mental health system out.

As the gf of a patient who had never been before and then my bf refusing to see me... I was then confronted by a nurse in a turquoise top, who made me feel extremely unwelcome. She offered no reassurance and when I enquired of he was making progress, she snapped back at me 'he is actually'. That was as far as her communication started and ended. I then asked her pass on something to which I was met with an eye roll. After an hours drive, a bit of personal and professional interaction would have been nice. Unfortunately I didn't get her name. I hope they are not all like her.
