Hi evaelise. Sorry to hear things are so tough at the moment. So the Community Mental Health Team have discharged your husband, basically? I think the best thing to do is approach your GP and tell him/her that your husband is still very unwell and needs help. The GP should be able to help you challenge the decision to discharge him.

You may also want to approach your local PALS office and ask them to help resolve the problem/complain, if you are in England. You can search by postcode to find your nearest one here.

The other thing you could do, if you feel strong enough, is to ring the manager of the health team and ask him or her why your husband has been discharged. You could stress that things are very very difficult for you all right now- he is not well and not keeping safe, you are struggling and there are 3 young children to consider also.

Good luck, evaelise. I really hope things get better for you and your family soon and that you are able to get the help you all deserve.
