Calgary woman on 'merry-go-round' trying to get mental health treatment

Calgary emergency rooms saw 30,000 visits from patients whose primary concern was their mental health, during the past fiscal year. (CBC)
Danielle says she can't remember how many times she's been to emergency departments getting stitches after harming herself or seeking help for bouts of sadness and anxiety.
"I'm on a merry-go-round where I keep getting reconnected to the same services that, frankly, have not worked in the past," Danielle said.
