Chloe first went to the doctors aged 10 but was misdiagnosed
Chloe, who lives in the Baltic Triangle , went to a local GP back in her home city of Birmingham when she was around 10-years-old. There, the now-21-year-old claims she was misdiagnosed as having a heart condition - she said this was because the doctors believed someone of her age couldn’t have anxiety.
When Chloe was finally diagnosed with anxiety as a teenager she was prescribed beta blockers, a medication she declined as her parents wanted her to go through CAMHS initially. She added: “I tend to feel emotions very strongly, and in a depressive episode I will not leave my bed or room for days. Living by myself is hard as I struggle to take care of myself and have no one to help me get motivated to do simple tasks. Some days I just sleep for so long and other days I don’t eat at all, because I don’t leave the house so I don’t have food in.”
Laura Bunt, chief executive of YoungMinds, said: “Life is increasingly tough for young people and record numbers are in need of support for their mental health. When they’re able to access the help they need, things can get better, but the wait for support is often too long or the right support isn’t available."
