Getting No help at all for mental health disorder

"Getting No help at all for mental health disorder"

About: NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG

(as a service user),

I have complex cptsd, anxiety, dissociation, there is no where to get help in Scarborough! My doctor can not find a service for trauma that I can get help from as they have waiting lists up to 8months and I am not offered any open ended therapy on the nhs either!

The nhs site, mind etc all say that therapy is needed and ukpts states if this is not treated it will continue to cause health consequence's, social and economic costs.

So why am I being denied any further treatment when a psychologist has said I need open ended treatment and the hours I had is no where near enough? Am I not entitled to treatment?
