My son Kielan Kenny has a genetic condition 22q11 deletion, his mental health is not taken seriously enough, shame on you Camhs, while we sit here and my child is hitting his head over and over, does he have to be dead before you do anything. #worldMentalHealthDay2022

Not to mention he had a very bad fall at respite recently.

OT going into second year waiting.
Myclonus in the hands difficulty eating dressing showering, gait change in the leg.Sensory needs for his Mental health. Comprehensive functional assessment needed to function in his day centre. Early intervention?

@EmerHigginsTD @NormaFoleyTD1

How long do we have to wait for OT support. Myclonus in his hands, gait change, support for regulating his mental health, his day centre is also waiting on there centre to be assessed for his needs.
Wait until he can’t walk and then we will help?

@CumminsNM @TomClonan I was told when my son was not eating that well, that the SLT run a program to help with eating disorders. We were just called today about an appointment for Tuesday and to bring in food that he eats to watch him eating.

Risperidone,Quetiapine,Olanzapine &Aripiprazole.
Back to square one, Olanzapine which I had high hopes for has stopped working.
Why can’t we try Clozapine, why don’t you have the staff to do regular blood checks.
This cycle never ends.

@PaulWhiteleyPhD So true, we are still trying to get the mental health right.
But there are more teams involved.
Neurology, Psychiatry, Day service and Respite. Everyone doing there bit, getting him out every day.
There are good days and not so good days.

@MHReform There should be one outside all the colleges , plenty young people suffer from mental health issues and then drop out of college.

@NiamhRo19554531 @ClarCahill @CMHaughey We were the same 2 years and 2 months, I kept saying it doesn’t suit him. It brought about all the sensory issues,he never had before and it was definitely Akathisia.
He wanted to drive and shower continuously.

@CMHaughey What of other jurisdictions? My autistic son was treated by CAMHS meath east with Resperidone for years. No health checks, no supports just prescription writing. It destroyed him. He's 21 & yet to recover. They told us there was no alternative.
