Reviews of Nova Scotia Health Authority Chronic Pain Services (Psychiatrist)

Last August (2020) I went into the hospital suspecting I was pregnant and in desperate need of mental health services. 3 days after I had been told to go home by the staff at the Aberdeen Hospital, I misscarried because I was offered and provided no treatment of any kind. After I misscarried the staff would not allow me visitors ,did not provide me crisis support against my wishes and I was traumatized and sent home yet again. There was no follow up for mental health, little follow up for physical wellness and I contacted the hospital to explain this all before ,after the fact. Flash forward after the weeks following my misscarrage, I still received no mental health treatment until I went to the emergency department at the Aberdeen hospital in October 2020. After being seen by the crisis worker THE NEXT DAY, I had been referred to a psychiatrist in Halifax. This Doctor then gave me a severe mental health diagnosis and started me on a new prescription. 3 weeks after my initial diagnosis for Mental Illness i still have yet to be contacted unless its a phone call saying I will not be seen for a number of months ,however no one was specific and everyone mentioned the wait being over 6 months. Well now I have found out that I might be pregnant. And I am horrified of the notion of your hospital staff endangering my unborn child's life. But the level of clinical negligence I've received is unbelievable.
