    How exactly does saying that PDs (not people who have suffered from mental illness) should not work as nurses deter people with mental illness from seeking help? You appear to be unable to...

  15. need advice

    Psi replied to margo123's topic in Psychiatric

    No you aren't over-reacting. The unit is heading for a disaster, you've made them aware of the problems. You need to get out of there as quickly as you can so that they don't take you down with

  16. reducing aggression in psychotic patients

    Psi replied to dns_ams's topic in Psychiatric

    You can't talk somebody out of psychosis. Time after time tree huggers have tried and failed to introduce models of care that don't involve medication. You can however provide a low stimulus and...

    You may be absolutely right. I just don't think that is the issue for this family. Wth all due respect. :-) It does seem to be the issue. Daughter had a problem, then she went into hospital and the...

  22. My daughter and her RTC

    Psi replied to j-mac's topic in Psychiatric
