Have your say: changing professional roles

I am one of many thousands, who have been seriously damaged by General Medical Profession.
By way of over prescribing countless Benzodiazepines & other crude medicos.
Have struggled to get off All medications & now after 17 years of stopping, am STILL in absolute turmoil.
There was no need to prescribe in the first place. I have acute Brain & Central Nervous System Damage, attributed by the tranx & to massive horrendous & painful withdrawals. "You cannot treat Drug Damage with Drugs" I have duly complied with my doctors & have been lied to by many". Two Psychiatrists have informed me that there is No Way that any drugs would work now, as the damage is so severe. They would not dare put me back on to meds, as to the Most agonising times, that I have gone through to get off.
I am totally incapacitated & no quality of life whatsoever. There appears to be no compensation for this Abuse, lack of assistance & CRIMINAL Damage. Many people have taken their lives, as they could not hang on like myself.
"It is The HELL of ALL DISEASES".
Have lost my Sanity, Friends, Neighbours etc..
Headway do visit twice per week, but there is still much ignorance, lack of awareness & no funding or redress for a life of utter Distress, confusion, Mental / Physical & Emotional Damage. Leading to Post Traumatic Stress Disorders & a whole host of impossible and agonising daily problems, that prevent me from doing anything, if at all for days & often many months in recovering from Total System Collapses etc etc.

I have experience as a user of GP mental health services and alcohol abuse d-tox and day-rehab programmes in London. An essential basis for developing better services in these areas would be to run studies over long periods to assess how useful they are. In my experience there is no research to look at how effective alcool abuse services are over the long-term. The provider is paid on the basis of the client completing the programme with no commitment to ensuring that the client is sufficiently well-supported to remain clear of alcohol or other substance abuse.
2. I strongly believe that GPs should offer pre-diabetes (ie,weight, shape, diet tendencies) some of the eg dietary support they will be offered when they get a diagnosis. I thought prevention was the meant t be the name of the game over the last twenty years but I was diagnosed last year and I believe, that based on my background that could have been addressed before I crossed the line into diabetes.
3. The seven minute GP appointment in which we are encouraged to bring one issue is not really working to see the patient as a whole person, mind and body. There are constraints but often the rigidity of tis doesn't really speed up the process or help give the best outcomes.
4. Some of the experience of eg the Royal Opera House in creating programmes to draw in new audience groups could be developed to give a wider group of the population the opportunity to come forward.
5. This 'have your say' opportunity is one example but I suggest there could be many ways to open this up . This would bring the sort of things patients say to each other, socially, at work etc but not to the professionals would be a valuable resource to tailor future health initiatives towards happier outcomes.
