Most Dangerous Places to Work: Life On the Psych Ward | Free Documentary

We're I'm from Ireland have places like that but they let you go the same day they take you off the medication,they should keep you a week or so after taking you off you have time to adjust to everything if I had a say it would be much better if you got the 3 weeks coming off the drugs and 2 weeks to stable

No stress

Everyone handles trauma differently. Some people cry and are sad, some people are angry and scream and even hurt others. Everyone handles different things a different way. That’s why no body’s case of PTSD is the same as another

all these ppl aint said i wanna do this..there brain aint well and they do bad things

God bless you!

Absolutely 💯 percent agree x

I am sorry you went through this x no matter how old you are, you learn to cope, to live everyday, and hope the people we surround ourselves with, recognise that what has happened in our childhood or even as adults, shapes us and helps define the people we wanted to be x
But it doesn't have to mean that we abuse or hurt others. I'm the same as you, the only difference is my body traps me. Hips, legs are in a bad way.
My childhood was bad, but I do not allow it to define my future.

It's an awful condition and very debilitating.

@@skycloud4802 agreed. Very misunderstood

Yeah my aunt has it and growing up around it was very overwhelming, I didn't know what it was and why she would act so "insane" when we were kids off of her medicine. Now that I'm older and understand what it is more I sympathize more with her but it doesn't take away the fact she wasn't fun to be around at all off of her meds

My aunt went of her meds for her schizophrenia and walked into a forest and died from exposure. It is something that can destroy a family. At least we know where she is and she can now rest in peace. Her body wasn’t found for a decade and when they found her body it went unidentified for years. Rest in peace Rosie. I wish I could have met you when I was older.

What are you saying , Schizophrenics kill people ?

Compassion and an open ear.

A mentally unstable furry? Say it isn't so!
Lmao.

I have personally been there for the same reasons, it was very difficult being admitted to these places against your own will, being forced into an environment with others who are struggling with their own mental health, it was very overwhelming being around people who are literally screaming at hallucinations. The food was good so !

Been there once and quite frankly IT IS A PRISON.

Been there once and quite frankly IT IS A PRISON.

If you listen to his mother's story about the party he went to and changed afterwards. It sounds the same as my cousin. He took 4 hits of LSD. He now has split personality and is incapable of functioning in society.

I hope you and your son are doing well. Peace and good luck to you both.

@@ross_ulbright7779 LSD, although relatively safe for most people has been known to surface underlying mental problems, It caused anxiety and intrusive thoughts in myself after i had a very traumatising trip. I would say anyone thinking about taking it be prepared for the risks and potential mental illness that can come from it.
All in all its very likely i would have suffered from anxiety at some point in life but LSD "Kickstarted" it, same with your cousin, its very likely he had a underlying mental illness that would have surfaced later on in life.

A lot of us working in mental health would love to help patients and families but are limited by legal restrictions.

@@soxpeewee What you say is so true for those of us who have walked this path. May I say that for health professionals it is important to be courageous and carefully challenge the status quo sometimes. It was a courageous and compassionate psycharitrist who saved our daughter's life and our lives as carers. Now he's my hero. All because he cared so much, he was prepared to do what was best, not just what the system dictated. Humility, kindness and courage are such rare and priceless attributes.

Congratulations. Keep it up 👍

You went to a psych ward to get clean?

Congrats, many people are unable to escape addiction and sadly, end up living a miserable life, and dying from it. So, you should be very proud you had the strength to move past it. It's a really a life-changing accomplishment - good on you!

Keep up the fab work 😁👍🏻

Way to go! Never stop trying no matter what happens!

I cannot imagine. Honestly.

I live with relentless paranoia and anxiety. Its impossible for me to trust anyone and I turn on my own sister or friends when I am in bad mental states, because I convince myself of delusional things, like that they are against me or after me etc Its really hard to go through and harder to put others through it and be unable to trust yourself or what you believe. :-/ I empathize with anyone suffering and their loved ones as well.

​@B D my brother suffered from 2nd grade on. He found a treatment plan that works for him. He has a fabulous loving wife and 2 wonderful kids. She knows his history and loved him. We don't hold mental illness in the light of shame. It's an issue like cancer, a lifelong illness that you can be treated for. You are worthy of joy, respect and peace of mind. Love in the family

Nightmare and a battle very few understand

@@yegandreenydoo1175 i do understand better than very well

Slaves lied about with that fiction or the fictional things?

After completing the above comment I started to read the other comments and was truly shocked. I remember in my preliminary nursing class being told that one in every five people would experience a mental health illness. I agree that it is important to think about the victims that come about because of mental illness but we need to show compassion to those with illness. Remember - There, but by the grace of God, go I.

As someone in this Profession, it is a very slippery slope when it comes to rehabilitation. I watch colleagues spend very little time on a patient and their history, due to this, others have suffered and/or lost their lives due to these types of mistakes. Especially when the judicial system is involved, and your hands are tied…Rehabilitation can and has worked, but it is also a double edged sword.

Michel Foucault did some some indepth studies in the 70s - both as a researcher and a patient - and published in his books 'Madness and Civilization' and 'The Birth of the Clinic'. His focus was on the profession not the public. He gave a long history with evidence in an attempt to change the crazy rationale of the profession. Of course, he was attacked for his findings but his studies are invaluable in understanding the 'mental illness' industry.

Not sure where you live/worked. In the US we let forensic patients out after years and they kill quite frequently. One cut his mothers head off, another murdered his roommate, and one killed him girlfriend. I worked on the forensic unit and they were mostly antisocial patients that likely wouldn’t improve with time. Community psychiatry is not effective in my opinion. I do know the compliance rates are higher in certain European countries and so are the use of long-acting depots. I did it for 10 years and couldn’t take the revolving door/pissing in the wind nonsense. I know I helped some, but I feel so much more reward in the medical side of things.

We are all human (homo-sapiens) and all have a right to be in society; and it makes me proud to know that the mental health system has changed in this way, from the days in which arrogant people used to lock people away like this making them feel like a cancer to society. We are better than this and always had the capacity to be better. It is the people that locked people up like this that are the ones that were the real psychopaths that needed to be locked away, and for us to throw away the key. I am talking from experience, as a result of needing care staff my self. If only people would make one extra step and let me teach people about my experiences, to help improve these services where improvements are still needed; it is not just the staff that have knowledge to pass on to others and that can be mentors and role models etc.

I am so sorry. I can’t even begin to imagine how horrific that must be. I have two grown sons, and I know they could hurt me badly if they turned, but they never ever would. I hope you made your son accountable for what he did. I’m so glad he’s clean and sober, for your sake, Nancy. ❤

Look into MDMA treatment for PTSD.

I'm going through this with my daughter. Cause of covid and her mon compliance she slipped through the cracks when shes been housed shes smashed several homes including mine. She is now on the streets. I'm petrified of her. I'm a mum of a woman who had cancer as a kid. And she has never been the same since. Shes has addictions to everything. And she thinks shes a law yo herself. I'm scared she will go to far and she will kill! Noone believed me in my family. When they took her on the realised I wasnt lying if anything I difnt tell them most of her behaviour because I was ashamed I coukdnt help her! Now shes alone and it kills me everyday.
To the point I got a job at a mental health hospital and had it turn it down due to Ill health
I thought it would help me find ways to help my daughter! However she hates me with a passion and blames me nursing her back to health after cancer. She hates living with constant pain due to the damage of cancer as a child... I'm at a loss and I feel a failure

@@willy2234 I have had to deal with mental illness of an adult child and such hostile, scary behaviors. You have my empathy!! You are not a failure!! Her mental illness causes her to lack reason,clarity and empathetic response.
Blame, guilt and manipulation are also addict related. Just because she says the most hurtful words to you out of her pain,frustration and illness does not mean she is speaking with clarity and truth. Illness or not, I know it wounds you.

@@Maija56 thank you but as a mother you have a duty and the one who cares the most and have to ban her from my life as my health is deteriorating and I can no longer defend myself! I'm at a loss what to do! Maternal side screaming to take her back wven dr has told me I'm not allowed her back as my mental health isnt great she gave me a nervous breakdown last year and I havent been the same since! Shes gaslughted me to everyone ans everyone thinks I'm an ogre. Shes even turned her sisters against me!

Patients are fictional. You were/are being forced to lie about others you harmed?
Making a slave and then making them tell the truth too good for to be the waste you are/were?

Thankyou for your brave honesty. Take care.

My gran worked at a facility like this and I grew up in the grounds, spent 19 years interacting with people like this , I have nothing but love for the employees, thank you for the work you did

@@randysmith7045 To all who see not how and why humans deserve hellfire:
SINFUL NATURE is the keyword, all humans life with it. A desire to do evil rather then good. lucifer is satan, satan is a name, which lucifer too upon himself as he transformed himself into what he is, also he is known as the great dragon in the story of the war in heavens, before they all fell and lost their glory. Elohím - false name. And you forgot or not in knowing:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
This verse of course banns not thinking, it banns leaning on our own understanding of topics, cause often times our own understanding is false. Why? Because of the lack of knowledge. GOD and His living WORD, BIBLE, is needed to bring into peoples reminders , we don`t have it often since beginning. (judging here in general). As long as we only think, seek not and therefore practice lack of knowledge, our understanding remain false.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
We all have chance to change things and turn the lack of knowledge's into into being in the knowledge of truth.
Through FREE WILL, which many say, we have not, we do choose: - our master - and do we or not coming to the knowledge of truth.
We all shall choose, even if we busy screaming back that we do not. Our own life shall reflect whom and what have we chosen.
FEW chose LIFE
Many chose DEATH
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Christians DON'T Sin? -they do not. THEY GO AND SIN NO MORE.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Christians are souls, who understand why and from what GOD saved them.
That leads to repentance - BORN AGAIN and stop sinning.
That of course means not that Christians never backslide, we do, sadly.
Jeremiah 3:22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
But to sin, means willfully sinning, planning to sin, that Christians to not do. We backslide usually when we are off guard and not watchful, as we should be.
That's from a soul, who is busy walking on the NARROW ROAD to heaven.

Thanks love! Now how about a cup of job?

*retracing

Id have a meltdown if I lost my purse with my bank cards and I.D. In it. He handled it well.

Ah man I lost my wallet once in Birmingham and man I lost it. I have lost wallets quite a few times in my life the worst one was last year about 15 mins before my flight back to the UK from Schipol I realised I had lost my wallet.... Thank god my tickets where digital. Good on the dude cus he knew if he lost it and raged he would not be allowed back out.

i agree! it kinda pissed me off when the staff said he wasn’t ready to go out even supervised. he handled a situation that would’ve made anybody lose it, so well. he got the cameras off him so he wasn’t as nervous, he talk it out and retraced his step to go and find it. he did amazing

You are very lucky that you didn't get your neck broke , helping people is great but not these kinda people.

I totally agree with you and if the money was invested in staff safety and a good wage the same as it's invested into patient rehabilitation you might just say it's a risk worth taking but sadly this is not often the case

thanks for the time you put in, most people are oblivious to us types who work in such environments; I work with the homeless and housing them so there are many similarities.

I work at a Psychiatric Hospital, Older Adults. We are the security. I don't know what de-escalation techniques you were taught. MAPA. DMI? A friend lost part of her ear, about 5 years ago, a patient bit it off. It isn't very often any of us feel safe on shift.

Thank you for all the hard work you put in--I hope you know it doesn't go unnoticed. My heart aches for you and that awful experience you went through.

Only way you'll understand it is if you have it.

​@@gabbyhaggyhaving mental illness is not admirable trait

@@SalehRealist yea, neither is having cancer, or ulcerative colitis, or diabetes, or parkisons, or any other illness that is not a mental illness. they are not traits. they are illnesses. there is no admirability or desirability in being sick. you just are sick. take your moral high ground and throw it in the garbage where it belongs. or go around to cancer patients and say 'having cancer is not an admirable trait' and see how far that gets you. honestly, very rude thing to say. if i could stop being mentally ill i would. in a heartbeat. but i can't. because it's an illness. a lifelong illness with no cure, and only treatments. treatments that barely work, and rude people judging you for something you cannot help.
and rudeness is a trait- a trait that you have, and it is not and admirable trait. please, do better.

As a mother of a daughter with psychiatric issues, it is so very hard to deal with when they refuse help or will not acknowledge the fact that they need medication to keep them on an even keel. Your life is filled with anxiety waiting for a phone call or a knock at the door, telling you something has happened to them. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I also can empathise with Tony's mum, being in a similar situation in having an adult daughter with schizophrenia. Cases like Tony's always tug at my heart strings. May God bless his mother and continue to give her strength and comfort. I pray that he may find some medication better suited to his illness so that he can be free again like may daughter now is.

@@poppyfield1619 … I can’t even imagine what that would be like and what you have to go thru and the hopelessness that must come with it…. I’m so sorry that you have had to deal with what you have been handed…

Thank you for sharing and your compassionate response.

I too am Australian and couldn't help thinking of the disenfranchised and isolated first nations' people who have suffered generational trauma on a compound basis for literally over a hundred years. I hope one day my country can work more compassionately with our real land owners so we can heal ourselves, together. 😢

@@3orM00Rrecharacters I worked as a remote nurse and did aboriginal health for 20 years. The last place I lived was the Kimberley (8 years); the people I worked with were truly amazing and I think if more people visited our remote areas from the cities, they would see a totally different world. Yes there is inherent problems, but there are incredible indigenous leaders in these places fighting and nurturing their people.

THANK you sister nurse! It's not an easy job. AMEN Philadelphia USA ☦️🇺🇲❤️

That’s what my mum did. She used to help blind people. She would even help them cheat in a test lol.

Cannabis just isnt for everyone, despite being the safest drug outta there. I smoked a lot in my teenage years and ended in a psyche ward with all kind of mental problems, i didnt hurt anyone but i was so fried i coulnd even understand what was going in around me, after years im still not completely "okay". Sadly how sometimes our brains works againts us

It's good, in a weird way, to hear someone admit that cannabis, when abused, can be a very big part of the problem when it comes to mental health issues. So many youngsters these days think everything is natural, and that nothing bad can come of lighting up on a daily basis.

@@chanyphilly8266 yeah, obviously everyone is different but if you're doing it all day everyday then there's a good chance you could develop schizophrenia. Wish more people knew this

It's weird how weed can awaken a sleeping disorder in the brain.
I hope you're all doing well.

@@MCChefBoyRD I'd say its a reasonably well known thing, I know about it and I haven't had or dealt with anyone with a mental illness.

Meth here in Australia is a scourge, a horrifying problem we have. It changes people in terrible ways. I’m sorry you lost your brother. ❤

Sorry

im 23 about to travel australia....

I take issue with saying "normal upbringing". There's always a direct correlation between how you're raised and engaging in hard drugs, etc. As someone who has been through a lot, family members definitely don't understand, across the board. If anything, I would say that there was more than likely some kind of childhood trauma leading up to it. The bottom line is, you'll never know. But to assume it was always normal just cause yours was is naive and facetious. It breaks Newton's Law to think there's no cause to it. A lot of parents and siblings live in denial forever after traumatic events in my experience. Either they never saw it or they never noticed but I'd bet infinity he was suffering in plain sight. If your parents anything like Tony's mom, it's inadequate. Parents are ill-equipped for parenting these days. I can't say I get the vibe that you're successful as a human, either. I can't say I'd throw my brother under the bus like that, says a lot. If I had to bet, you're the older brother, or he was much older than you and was never raised right. Firstborns usually have a better chance, though. The blameless mentality of family - there is no such thing - not in reality, especially parents. It's too easy to turn a blind eye to things. To me, he was clearly running from something that you had no idea about. I mean given the insane levels of sexual abuse (2/3 women, 3/10 men - only those who report it) and the fact that men rarely report it, odds are high it stems from that. Family and friends of family are most often the perpetrators. A lot of time people don't remember, but act out anyways, cause the trauma is there. To me, that's the leading cause of that sort of behavior - especially with meth addicts (common in my area). Fact is, they could have raised them "well" but families are often not vigilant enough in my experience.

My best mate couldn't climax while with his gf ,, he used to stop the meds so he could relive the physical pain and the alcohol crept back in then back on the meds and so on

Indeed. Happened with a friends mother. She was schizophrenic and stopped taking her meds. She wasn’t being monitored either. Ended up killing her partner by stabbing him. Pity it had to get to the point that someone died. It was hard on her daughters who were left to pick up the pieces.

Yes exactly that happened to my brother

Hell no. Cases in new Zealand where they have been let out and killed again.

I was forcefully medicated while underage. When I turned 18 I never took any again. I’m living a happy and productive life. Sometimes the problem is the parents presenting their children as unwell when they are indeed fine. Those medications are dangerous if you don’t need them. 16 years later my parents still try to tell people I’m mentally ill. No one takes them seriously.

Not his fault he has mental issues.

@@elric5371Very true.
Nobody else should be suffering for that either. Tough one. Best to protect other people from him though.

@@gundawollnick2361 sure that’s why rehabilitation is the correct course of action, not at the expense of civilians obviously but still we should aim to help him get to a point he can walk outside without posing a threat to either himself or the public, prison certainly is not the correct course of action.

The issue is they cost 4x normal prisoners, the government would rather increase risk than increase spending

Absolutely, the crazy part is what about the 36 people he hurt? Do they get a second chance in life?

Dude, James was already doing a life sentence and he murdered his cellmate so he gets sent to the psych Ward gets his own cell That's triple the size and a ton more freedom compared to a prison???? They literally rewarded him for murder

Throw in drugs and alcohol and you have the perfect storm.

100% agree

It's all about practicing good psychological hygiene.

Child and adolescent psychiatry is dreadful. I can’t see too many people staying in that for long. My limited experience on adolescent and child units sucked so bad. Nothing worked on them.

The child psych ward a friend of mine was in was totally amazing…. But he was thrown out at 18 as they didn’t want him to go to an adult ward, we were just taken of the section and left to come home, no follow up help, nothing….. Iv have managed to get help now

I could never do adol psych. Doing psych is hard enough.

@The Neon Cicada Its 1 tool. No matter how good your mental hygiene is, the daily grind wins( more so with empathetic) so many "manipulate" even "test" it is draining even when you're aware.

Not “what had happened”. What you had done. Accountability.

@@Mrs.TJTaylor I do have some accountability but I was also in psychosis. I still feel bad to this day about it.

@@BionicDonut I never said anything relating to your comment. ??

Sending love x I’ve been there

So did they put you in a psych ward can I ask? X

Public hospitals in the states are prisons

We were denied fresh air for weeks at a time, locked in solitary rooms for hours upon hours alone with little to no bathroom breaks, yet they'd monitor us inn the bathroom when they would let us go. My roommates were violent schizophrenics who I had no protection against. I was so scared and to this day cannot sleep without having nightmares about my time in a psych ward.

For protection in the one hospital, I had to befriend a drug dealer twice my age.

Don't even get me started on the Electro-Shock Therapy...

I hope to get to work somewhere like that myself 🙏 I've studied criminal and forensic psychology and have always had a morbid fascination with it although I know it's such a tough job it seems so interesting and its a necessary job someone has to deal with it or there'd not be anyone doing it 😅 meeting all kinds of mentally unwell people- you must of met some real characters in the process though!

You worked in fictional things? Youre waste until youre most likely killed, right?
Sure you’re disabled and not being tortured in ways where you could appear to possible be?

Agreed. I have it as well, and my stance is always that we have a responsibility to get help and do the work to keep it managed so we don't hurt the ones we love, or ourselves. Mentally ill or not, we know when our behaviour is wrong, if we can't control it, we need to seek help to figure out why and find ways to help keep it in check.

It truly is amazing, you have to have patience and compassion to work in mental health. The good workers deserve all the respect

How would you compare the patients level of personal freedom in Texas and the UK? I feel like here in Texas, they're much less progressive and more draconian in the practice of mending mental health
