Reviews of Cumberland Mental Health Services (Psychiatrist)

It's typically a long wait to see anyone. Roughly at least 3 months

As I was starting therapy and finally opening up my therapist was taken off my case and placed back in the emergency room. I went from having an appointment every week or two, to being waitlisted for upwards of 6 months to finally get a call back to book an appointment 2 months from the call date. As well as being informed that it would be up to a YEAR to get a follow up appointment. Needless to say the discouraging news stopped me from pursuing further treatment and since I have regressed. Also requested to have a copy of my diagnosis sent to a clinic in PEI called Marijuana for Trauma and had my request denied due to the fact that the clearly old fashioned Dr. Moss did not agree that I should use marijuana products (in my case CBD, which I should add is not psychoactive nor addictive) to treat my mental illness. I struggle with addiction issues on top of chronic pain and have been doing everything I can to find a treatment plan that I cannot abuse. Thanks to this rejection of request I will continue to struggle in physical and mental pain until someone can help me or until I am forced to take pain management into my own hands, namely smoking marijuana (which due to the process and its psychoactive compound THC, will make my anxiety much worse), alcohol to dull the anger I feel when I think about how mind numbingly easy this issue is to treat, and then painkillers naturally because what works better at treating physical AND emotional pain than opiod painkillers!? Thanks for nothing Cumberland Mental Health Services. The only thing you've proven good for is to remind me why I never want to live anywhere near Cumberland county again.

Changed my therapist twice without my knowledge, almost every appointment i make is cancelled the day before or the day of and you wont hear back from them for a week, the therapist i now have is extremely judgemental and dosent seem to understand that peoples way of copeing is all differnt and is very against actually finding a medication to help combat my life long illness.

Waited almost 2 years to just see someone, when I finally get to see someone and start making progress they leave. This has happened now twice,the first time they retired and was waitlisted again for 6 months,now I'm with another person and found out they're leaving now so now I'm waitlisted again.. plus I find if they cant stuff pills down your throat or your not into group activities they cant offer you much at all.its hard to find good,committed professional help that are willing to listen.
