On leaving the
Maudsley Hospital on Friday I asked one of the staff for directions to Kent. "Kent as in t
he Bethlem?" she inquired. "
And a bit further" was my vague reply.
It's a wonder that I got out of London, let alone into the Weald and my desired destination, but despite falling off the South Circular a couple of times, I did in the end.
It was hardly the fault of the member of staff. I should have given a clearer idea of where I was aiming for and asked someone who was prepared for the question.
When it comes to treatment and recovery in mental health issues that member of staff is one of the best people in the world to talk to, but still I wonder whether we're asking her the right questions and really have much of a clue where we are going.
