I went to see another GP today (mine is on holiday). He has heard back from the Sussex NHS mental health team:
"Unfortunately after consideration by the multidisciplinary team, including Consultant Psychiatrist and team Psychologist, we do not feel there is anything we have to offer this gentleman which may be of value in progressing his significantly entrenched behaviours."
And this is based purely on a letter from my GP. They have not actually seen me or spoken to me!
The GP is saw said that this was proabably about a limited budget and that my condition fell outside the severe range of conditions which they have the money to treat.
I have been offered Clompiramine which has had some sucess in treating other phobias, although I can find no research at all into its effectiveness in helping with paruresis.
I am thinking about complaining to my NHS trust - I now have all the correspondence. 291
