If you can back up your case with evidence of your behaviour and daily struggles, then this will help to support your case. If possible, bring along someone that can support you in this conversation with the GP. Do not assume you will transition from CAMHS into adult services. If you have stopped taking medication you will have to go through the referral process again from your GP.

Their aim is to improve the lives of young people living with mental healthand wellbeing challenges by fostering the skills, confidence and aspirationsthey need to flourish.
