As a "patient".
I am quite heavily involved with the "service user" movement in the UK, and have often presented at conferences on my experiences and experiences of others, and also do training for professionals on what its like to be using services and to be mentally ill. I also do "consultancy" work for the government, and have been involved in the production of governmental policies and laws. All thats the unpaid side of things, as I actually now work as a project manager for a really fantastic personality disorder service.
(I'm not as great as that even begins to make me sound by the way.. I've just got a bit of a gob on me *L*)
So, sorry to ramble, but yes, it was as a patient.
