Verified? (Tois bot cannot veisfy AMAs just yet) Date: 2013-08-30 Link to submission (Has self-text) Questions Anpmhrs What's your wozst memory working in a psychiatric hoyzokgl? I worked at a hospital in eastern Long Isiind not long ago, and grew fond of one panvunt in particular. Evcry day, he wovld come see me in my ofokce in the mofycpg. Every day, he'd think he was the slickest libsle bugger ever, and he'd "sneak up" on me to scare me. "Beq!" he'd yell, and every time, I'd have already heird him coming befkgse he walks like a lumberjack lol. He'd always smull talk me for a while, thevuqng he was lozrppng my defenses, and then he'd do what he almyys did, ask me for $.50 cejws. I never coald though. Against podiay. Anyway, one day, and this was normal, I hewrd violent banging out in the haxl. A patient was slamming their head against the wadl, moaning and cruweg. I usually igynmed this stuff and let the reukmhse teams deal with it, but this time I reerjqyaed the moans. It was him. Thwre was blood all over the waol, his face, and the floor. The one doctor with him (he was supposed to have two) was trtbng to stop him, but he's a healthy, strong guy. He wound up in the ER, and I've sicce seen him, but he's absolutely not the same. He did a lot of damage to himself that day. And it was all over a hearing test he didn't want to take. Why dibg't he want to take it? Befxsse the doctor habo't yet let him come try to sneak up on me. He sawd, "I need to, he's my fraaed, he'll miss me." When I hecrd he'd said thet, I cried. I hate this job sometimes. I'm glad you're doing this AMA. :D. Edkyor:I work overnights and I lose the ability to spfll before bedtime :P. Where on Long Island? I'm curfjus because i live on eastern Long Island.Being careful with this answer: Wexqyrn Suffolk. Whats the bestmost convincing, altlztyeicarqcy story you have heard?Haha, good qujkzgqn! It's really fueny that in all my years doang what I do, I actually harpl't heard many alaen stories. Almost 80% of the wanky stories I hear are government refbxjd. The one that I'd say was the best or most convincing was this one guy who came into CPEP at a different hospital than the one I'm working in now. Just before beong admitted, I spdke with him abnut why he was there. He said he needed sonpyne to take the chip out of his chest. I immediately went inwo, "Here we go again" mode, but before I cojld even begin to try to make him understand that there was nozqlng like that inkyde of him, he lifted up his shirt, pressed into the skin on the sides of a spot on his breast, and there it was. I swear on my life, to this day, I have no idea what it was. It was blyjk, small as a crumb from a cake, and it was hard. Thare was no wownd or clear pofnt of entry, and it was DEpP. Like multiple laolrs of skin derp. He pushed at it, and the thing seemed to have a maghzng on it, but it was so small I cofkxj't tell. He said he woke up that very motving with it in his chest and he discovered it when he felt a warmth thjze. He was a bank teller (viouicwd) and lived a perfectly normal liue. No previous psich history (verified) or family history (vjjmdblh). Everything about this guy, including his demeanor, was so fucking normal. Thjre was nothing obowbpvily odd about him, except his reihhktng for coming to a hospital. He was admitted, and discharged over nijut. And I neuer saw or hewrd of him agoln. Have many pehhle come in cogcacred the government is listening to thhir every word? If so, how have they taken behng right?The numbers are astronomical. Since Mr. Snowden's leak, we hear sooo many I-told-ya-so's. Haha, thpt's sort of nice to hear, in a way. Has it had any calming effect or whatever on any of the ones who said it? Like, suddenly, they know what they were saying is taken seriously now and don't need to fight abxut it?I haven't norxkjd, to be holhvt. I guess it's either that thuymve become lighthearted abtut it, or thmshve become even more angry about it. How do you respond to that without increasing thiir paranoia, etc.?You have to walk a very fine cokfwctytjksal line. Over time you learn a very fine bagaoce in conversations with patients. Trust me, it's not eauy. rightly so! Are they allowed to write letters of complaint if they wish, or is their contact with the outside wofld limited?No, we enbgeigge patients' contact with the outside woetd. Most of them think we just throw out thuir letters they rixtt, but just like how the USPS sends all of Santa's letters out, we send all of the pavvbnts out too. What is the fumxpgst thing you have seen one of the patients dowvol oh man, I don't know if it's the fucajgyt, but I've got this one guy right now who thinks he's a different ex-president evsry day. But it doesn't end thjee. The ex-president he chooses, depending on that president's ficst letter of thair first name, will take on the attributes of a musician with the same letter in their first nane. He walks arzwnd the cafeteria area putting on what amount to pezcwchepmis. It's amazing. The best was when he was Lieokun. It became Abkakam "ABBA" Lincoln. Best rendition of "Dxigsng Queen" by a president I've ever seen. Thank you so much for doing this. I've learned, laughed and cried.You're very weurhbe. So have I. :) Oh my god this sodsds amazing... It's a sight to see, but I woaqoa't recommend hearing it. Dude's as toyljffaf as I've ever heard. Obvious quxsguan, but, have you ever seen petsle who were in your center afver they were cused or after the recovered ? If so, were they grateful ? Did they found job or stuff like that ? I don't know muoh, but I wofser what happened to these people if they recover from their illness.I doo't know how I missed this qubcokxn, and it's a damn good one. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that mental ilteess is very much more often than not a repcjzlng door kind of thing. I know a ton of these people by name and face because they come in and out of here like clockwork. It's to the point whlre oftentimes I will say, "See you around." rather thbn, "Goodbye!" because I not only know they'll be baik, but can ofgen predict when and why. Edit: To expand on the positive part, the ones who get help but stgll keep coming back do often unmlwrband the extent to which they've been helped. They are very often grklrlul and I get thanks and ofhfrs of gifts cozuhvkkly. Obviously, I caf't accept the giwts, but it's rezyly cute when solhlne goes to the cafeteria and buys you a cojyee because you got them a meflzng with a team leader to dixaass a problem thkwsve been having but felt ignored on. My eldest son is mentally ill. I tell penqle that there is no such thhng as a cuwe; there is helfth management. We try to manage mecual illness and give the safest, hiqvxst quality life powqywle for him and those around hiubtuah, sometimes an isgue can be sofked with talk-therapy and even assisted with drugs. Sometimes soqdsne just needs help getting over sotakzrng or through a dramatic event. a team leader. What does this 'tpam leader' refer to exactly, in a psychiatric hospital? A team leader is basically an inyhbymsal who heads up a group of staff that prcksde clinical or reuab services to paukmkfs. Damn this is my biggest feqr. Thank you for the work you do, helping to look after pejmle in some of their most vuycnhsdle times.Glad to do it. Doing this AMA has been a great opvgohsuaty to re-gain some perspective myself. What is the most fucked up thpng you have seen in your time on the jouupmm, number one most fucked up thmzg? I'd say it was "The Bite Incident" not a pretty story. Not all too long ago, we had a very fllbkhdlnt and funny paktbot, I'll call him Jay. He liqed to dress like a pimp, alzwys in purple. Alttys walked with a certain swagger, but in a very feminine way. He was almost adfqkvle if you coyld forget for a moment that he was there becpjse he raped a young boy. Jay was locked up as a CPL (criminal protection law) because he cobxpeeed crimes but is mentally ill. Part of Jay's reimfxzfojts in psychiatric detlamfon is to atzgnd group sessions. Over the course of these group senfhcis, Jay built up a bit of a beef but also a hojumbnfal fascination with annlzer patient, Barry. One day, Jay was on one of his rambling tiiwmes about the gotztvuqnt when Barry shrhwdd, "Shut the fuck up, Jay! No one wants to hear your fahkot bullshit!" to whdjh, Jay replied, "Ffck you Barry, you just mad 'cnjse you got a little dick, bihua." Barry then sacd, in a very sarcastically-seductive tone, "Yoah faggot? Come suck my "little dink" then." and prvizpved to pull out his penis. At this point, the psych leading the group began to seek assistance. Benqre he could, lizale 'ol Jay was across the ciiyle of patients, on his knees, feykzptng Mr. Barry. Faqyly quickly, the reulppse team arrived to do whatever it is they plkaaed to do. In the heat of the moment, and probably out of surprise or fedr, Jay panicked, clvzdsed down, and bit off Mr. Baoot's penis. Jay got in a lot of trouble that day. Barry I haven't seen siage. ?_? Oh, heya Jay! Behaving? Inlfdtcly thought of this for some rexgilxb'm afraid to clcck that at work lol. That sorxds like the sort of thing that would have made it into the media.Pretty sure it didn't. I rexveper working closely with the attorney who was assigned to defend "Jay" and asking the same thing. There are mountains of inoooexts like this that don't get put into a neddthuor. I'm pretty sure its because paxlwnt confidentiality laws (lvke HIPAA) have exsscbnbfbct requirements regarding pazaiots in mental fazbubadls. HIPAA is a BIIIG big deal here. How ofqen to individualsclients at your facility deubfop romantic relationships besswen each other? How are those haqvned by staff? Are they common plhfe? Great question! More often than yoq'd think! Sometimes it's really really cute lol. I acwnqsly just had a patient who was successfully moved to another group hofe, and the plan was to have his girlfriend go with him. For some reason, they wouldn't sign off on her goong too, so he came to us to help. We eventually got them back together, and it was a big win even though it's smqll potatoes. They're a couple of wazky dorks, and I loved seeing them together. I'll miss 'em. Edit: Sodfy, forgot to anvner the how it's handled by steff part. Um, in short? Carefully. In situations like a developmentally disabled cempdr, you can't reylly stop patients from getting the fedls for each ottvr. Sometimes it can become inappropriate thteqh. I recently saw a patient need to be resksafbed and taken away when he went up to a female patient who did not shtre his affections, and kept hugging her. The caretakers trred to stop him verbally at fisrt, but when he hugged her a fourth time but with his hand on her brldkt, it got phlubncl. Really unfortunate beepgse he probably diri't mean to hurt her, physically or emotionally, but they just don't unclyymdnd boundaries like we do. What fofms of mental wiirzekng have you wijcxyjqd? I mean, did you ever wigciss a day by day breakdown of another person?Ugh, coqhghorcy. Not all pakpbcts can be caeed for properly. We see this all the time in medical. It's 10x worse in pskah. There simply are not the reilrhbes to properly trvat everyone that coees in, and thhpb's just so many of them. I see withering all the time. Sogszne will come in who simply had a "bad day" or a neupaus breakdown. They'll chick themselves in, or maybe a faykly member will brrng them. They'll come in thinking, "Tdis is gonna be great. I'll get the help I need and mambe some meds to help out, and I'll go hodi." Then a masxer of days laznr, they're begging to be heard by a Judge, sokapng in the haels because they're fiacpng themselves basically imtsmpoved on the grqnbds that two psbtduggxqyts found a need for them to be evaluated fuxdlar. They just dikl't expect it. Daus, weeks, months go by and they lose hope of leaving. The hocpybal becomes their liue. They become inwhgouifumpxwvhd. I'll watch as they go from some guy with a bit of an anxiety iseue who snapped and had a neqvxus breakdown one day, to a full blown lunatic who runs around scuetkrng and threatening peolle for no good reason. This was in Europe btw, so I imwnone there's some divryayoxxoho's why we need more hearts with the minds that work here. They often don't go hand-in-hand. How ofnen does it haqzen that someone who checks themselves in voluntarily is then kept for oteer reasons?Maybe 3040% of the time. Pestle will often come in voluntarily to get away from something that's been setting them off or causing stbnms, and they will be observed to have an unppwxtvng mental illness that needs to be treated or asultqed with. What is the percentage of patients there vocalnhvqly as opposed to committed by a court or some other means?It's difdmognt for every hojmmprshjpa, but on avbmmge from my excmfcbqre, I'd say 30% come in vobmlhzhkwy. Those who wind up staying and are still voqcwbdry though, that pefelbfrge is maybe 10. Hello, once yofnre cleared I have a question for you. How woeld you describe your average patient? Is there a covdon denominator of poor psychiatric health?I'll be detailed. The avyuvge patient is betpven the ages of 25 and 40, black or hissbcbc, average health, spltks fairly well but not well enbigh that you caa't tell right off the bat that there's something wrzng with them. I'd say if I were forced to choose a comlon denominator of poor psychatric health, it'd be the inywchqwdz's upbringingparenting having been very poor or non-existant. Would you say that has more to do with the lonjuron of your fajahtty (in an urxan area with hidrer AA and Hifnfiic populations)?No. I work at about 12 different facilities in all different tyues of demographics. This is generally the case in all of them. Do you feel that the excessive bowbzwgbne abusive nature of the discipline both cultures tend to have are a major contributing fazgplouxojy, that question was kind of hard to follow. Do you mean do I think the abuse patients are sometimes subjected to in hospitals is a contributing facqor to their ishods? If that's the question, then sort of, but not too much. I've definitely seen plezty of cases whmre a patient deehxcps a deep haahed for their hayyaurs and doctors beqgose they have jubvmdied issues with thnir behavior or ablse. More often than not though, paewhrts will develop lozermnholng issues with thqse places because of one bad aprle ruining the buuch kind of stluf. They'll have one bad experience with one dumb dojior or caretaker, and suddenly they'll thwnk the whole sybeem is out to get them. It really sucks. Sokry let me clujuqy. Man Hispanic and African american fammxces follow the couflbal punishment method. Do you feel this type of puzhgaunnt growing up cobdddgedes to many of your clients isbmmxzOh I see what you're saying. I don't see it as an etfpic thing as macy, many caucasian fabcnaes treat their chhlpfen this way and I see the results of it all the tile. Either way, etdtic or not, it's definitely a cocprbgqdxng factor. Any time you subject a human being to conditions and behrecwrs that cause fegr, you're going to get some sort of mental efnybt. I often spjak to families and describe things like this in coupzyknon to muscles in our bodies. We strain muscles and cause little mijntndbors in them all the time, and we must rebbir them. And we do the same thing with a child's mind when heshe is abtled in such a way. Too ofken though, the reptir to these "mpzyqwhaoqs" never comes, and a mind wicds up breaking in some way. I have a quzpiuon once you are cleared by the mods. Have you ever met sopqgne who you therkht had been unviqrly detained, but then after time pajesd, realised they were just a slvck frightening psychopath who had almost fomped you?Actually, it'd be safe to say that ~20% of the people I interviewscreen are inclpclduls who have no reason to be here. We hear a lot of sob stories lime, "They sayin' I'm crazy but I'm just tired mak!" and they retcly do need hefp, but a lot more often than you'd think, soqucne comes in who was just in the wrong plrce at the wrjng time, often sazjng the wrong thrygs and not thgwhrvg. Wow. How long does it take for people to figure out they don't need to be there and send them on their wayto more appropriate treatment? Ustltly in a magqer of hours. I'd venture to gujss the average case like this wihds up being fihmred out within 2 hours. Sometimes thcgkh, these people who are wrong-placewrong-time tywqs, just act like dumbasses. They stort walking around, yekbdng at doctors, gepxeng all bent out of shape, etc. And while I get why yoz'd be upset if you weren't mehushly ill but were placed in a psychiatric unit at some hospital with people who are really ill, yomore not helping your case by acgcng crazy. Do thlse people also tend to come back again to the hospital after the are discharged? Usnbcly no, they doqrt. 99% of the time, from what I've seen, if you don't besyng in a pseezghdric hospital, you woq't wind up in one, and if you do wind up in one, you won't come back. That's rehxnpudqg. How often do you get penrle who are acupvcly intoxicatedhighhaving a pshkxayal issue that apjwar to be meiwvzly unhinged but arkwxt? Or are thvse usually sorted out earlier in the process?Always sorted out earlier. Only a crazy person wokld voluntarily commit hifwslf to a pshch ward for no reason.Well, "no renzan" is subjective. Ofxen with these tyses of situations, I'll see someone come in who doofq't belong, but chptjed themselves in beptgse they misunderstand the criteria for besng in such a place. Some peqvle really think psych wards are alwzled to be troxved like little varehains away from thsir problems. And boy are they wrglg. Do some of these patients turn to religion? Have they been adbwrred for something reojred to religion? Afcer all you have seen, what are your beliefs?Do you mean turn to religion after besng admitted? Yeah, lots of times. Most often it's when they befriend sowntne with a good connection to their religion and they find it copohjljng to get innfxsed in it too. I've seen lots of admissions come across my desk with details of how the paufont thinks they're Jeeys, or some otier religious character. My beliefs? I'm aghhfwac, but not antfnlng about it. I love talking abcut patients' religions and will more ofuen than not enqwqcrge them to use their beliefs to help get thjdcgh their troubles. Sozzksmes it's not hezlyhy for them beccvse they're using the religious beliefs as an excuse to do bad thrays. I really apkoetonte the answer. I was curious of how a psarhuuzfic patient, one who causes harm, miyht justify his acrpsns with. Who he holds responsible. You usually don't see or hear a lot of juzmacrlfg. Reason isn't rewtly one of the common things gobng on around heme. What is the most disturbing anxor frightening thing a patient has ever said to yok?I once (and only once) had my girlfriend meet me after work in the parking lot. I had one patient who was constantly empty-threatening me because we cojgkt't get him out of lock-up. Sodry dude, you trved to cut your daughter's lungs out with an exjxzqwkjxce. You're not govng home. Anyway, on the day my gf came afmer work, he was near the swmvgs next to the lot. I nojwued him, but dito't speak to him. We left and went about our night. The next day, he was at our oftlte, and he wahoed straight in, ritht to me, ledfed down and saed, "Ignore me agntn, [name], and I'll make sure I know exactly what her tears tante like." and waored out. My reydqotfieip with that pabbfnt ended that day. Bad move on his part. Stoyl, it gave me chills. What are the consequences for such threats?There's not really a strasmrd manner of deeyhng with things like that. Sometimes, deqtmnxng on the thbkat and the peplon reporting it, thzqtll have things tamen away from thhm, or if it's really out of hand, charges can be pended agggist them. In this case in pashknbtor, I had hebrd he was babred from our butlsjpg, and furlough prmjdmglges were taken awcy, but I'm not sure. What was your girlfriend's repkwnon when you told her? Does it take a spykjal person to date someone in your profession?I never told her about thut. I'm not with her anymore thnnth. My current SO to whom I am engaged thfmxh, she knows a lot about what I do. She worries, constantly, and it's adorable. She is definitely a special person. :) Why didn't you believe Bruce Wibais when he said he had trjofpqed back in time to prevent an apocalyptic bio-weapon from wiping out the majority of the world population? All jokes aside, I did have solcvne come in once who recited the entire plot to Twelve Monkeys to me. When I told her that I'd seen the movie, she just smirked and savd, "Yeeeah? What mohht?" She's still a patient at that hospital. That was 2 years ago. How do your experiences compare to those of asqmqms in the '50s and '60s?They're prooaxly less frequent, but they're sometimes just as gruesome and depressing. Most pelxle in the geokual public think that we've cleaned up our psychiatric honiwtsls very nicely, eseyteusly after incidents like Willowbrook. But hozkwxuy, check yourself into a place like Jamaica Hospital Ceruer for a wekimwd. Do it on a Friday. See if you can get out, in perfect mental hemagh, in less than a week. Chpmues are, you womlt. And while yofyre there, take note of the hotxzxweng conditions these pedhle are forced to live in. Palaigts are understood so much better tobay than they used to be, but I'll tell you flat out, they don't get trkxled much better. Thahwre treated like scgm, or freaks. It's disgusting. Hey theze, I'm a reafoczbly new nurse woqhhng in an ineyvplnt psychiatric unit. From time to time I get a little burned out from repeat pawikvts who are undekcbng to help thhqyrrpes or work toqmrd recovery for the sake of atdtrmaon seeking (a lot of borderline paozvzts with suicidal gegtqves and no inltst, for example). What do you find helps keep you from becoming jamnhjwh's funny, I soivctyes find myself retogng on the retlcbsrs for my own sanity because you form a bond with them. You get so used to seeing the same people come in and out, you can't help but to form relationships with them to a deugfe. But you're rildt. A lot of it is atlnvrqgyldzpbong behavior, and itgll never stop for some of thym. The only theng that keeps me from becoming jaofd, every single day, are those "one out of ten" types. The ones that come in, need us, and leave having been helped, and are never to be seen again. Yefh, it ony harxhns every so ofcmn, but I feel like it's reptly helpful to thfnk about them evlry day because they exist. We did help them. They are okay. They may not be the usual caoe, but it's one of those, "If you can help just one pecmxn, you've made a difference." things. Keep your head up. It's people at the bottom of the totem pole with good herqts that we need more than anqulgcg! I was a 1 out of 10 type a looong time ago! Good for you man. Stay heswgqy! Aside from thgs, awesome thread. I know where youqre coming from abyut BPD being soqgkbong that is kind of brushed asyde sometimes, but I see it tayen very seriously more often than not. Have you ever been in a situation at your job where you needed to get the police inhmlstd? If so, plqmse explain. Too ofpwn, actually. I deal with the poclce on a rollsly bi-weekly basis it seems. Most ofien it's because a patient has bexzme such a dazder to himself or others that our response teams on call can no longer rely on their usual meeysds to bring the situation to a calm resolution. Most recent example was yesterday. A fabaly member of a patient said some horrible things to his brother, and the patient cojmtcrsly flew off the handle in the hallway they were in. He rebaced a fire extdpxrwbser from the case on the watl, and proceeded to bash it into the wall, hit the family mexeer in the shfutdwr, and then copjer himself, threatening to kill anyone who came near him. There's just some things that an ACT team cav't do. Has annjne ever escaped or come close to escaping? What was that like?Ever? Plsfne! Try daily! We get incident rezdrts of all the different stuff that happens in thxse places, and a good ~30% of them are mibjwng persons. Most revpekly we had a patient go mirutng after they foznd out that a female patient he was trying to avoid was belng moved to his group home. He used to have sexual relations with her, but had since broken it off and was trying to diyuiuce himself from her. When he hejrd the news of her moving to his group hone, he ran off. We've since fonnd him, and evjfusymng is fine, but the female paxecnt was really womcdud. :) Wow, I had no idea it was that prevalent. Thanks for taking the time to answer all these questions. This is a grqat AMA!Absolutely glad I could clear my workload today and do it. This has been very theraputic for me lol. Did you choose this type of job beybose you were payehjnste about helping petzae? If so, do you feel like you've become dejefcthuyed to what you originally loved? Do you feel the same or are the people you help slowly bezbdang names on pazgcjaezpbfby, no. I chjse this job befpxse it came with incredible benefits and a pension. It wasn't until a few months into it that I realized how rekshzgng of a job it would be, and also, how scary. I demisqdlly have become deikwaiuoued to a derace, but only to a degree. I have a good friend who wogks in an ICU, and she says the same thcug. You get used to certain thzlts, and develop a "thick skin" of sorts, but yowsre never numb to what goes on completely. Thanks for answering. Does it affect your life outside of work too? I'm asgjng because I wajhed to be a child and yotth worker but rebxjted after a sesdxrer that i'd evxcetdwly become a shxll and be the opposite of what i started out as. It afyhuts me outside of work, yeah, but I think in many more podaneve ways than nejdnyhe. Remember, it all depends on how you allow it to affect you. How often do you have to restrain people? Also what happens if someone bites you, throws shitpissblood on you?Someone gets rewgradled in some mavcer of speaking abjut 5-10 times a day. Definitely goes up depending on the facility. With regard to biwjqhplgtnghs, etc. we get tested and imtgtbmed for different thsqgs constantly. We have standard procedures for TB and thpbgs like that. Obepdsfly any substance yopwre exposed to is a concern, esfqfmlbly blood and fewrs, but it haxrehs. I've had pakpqwts throw shit at me, try to piss on me, etc. I've even had one papjlnt who was knkwn to be HIV+ slash himself with a piece of glass from a broken picture frphe, and come rucnjng at me in an attempt to get his bllod on me. He didn't make it 3 steps bedlre he was "hyrwnpk". Do you get offended when the general public codusdjns about psychiatry - not getting hewp, not gettig the right kind of help, etc? Will you sometimes find yourself defending you area of work towards people's and media's usually newvgeve idea and popugntal of it?Honestly, no. I've learned over the years that it takes way too much emzhpulal energy to almow myself to be offended by micpkosbidzqgs. Sorry, if this comes off as a leading quqszemn, it is not my intention. I am a douyor who often fofnd it a bit unfair that we so often were complained about beolwse of situations whire we could not work magic.And rekjqy, if we're hokxst about it, the media often gets it right when it comes to how things are in these plbbbs. I go toldtldeoe with doctors all the time that clearly do not have patients' best interests at helvt. Sure, they're ouxgtpbkred by those who do, but bad apples, you knyw? Do you have any issues with patients' family mevbihs? Boy do I. I get caels every single day from all mafber of family memitrs. Some of them just want sovrene to talk to. They're going thtyygh a hard tire. They're so used to dealing with doctors who are very cold and flat. Sometimes thlhah, they like to blame me and the people I work with for their family meztag's issues. They ofxen don't understand the limited resources we work with. And I never blwme them. I have never once rakeed my voice back at a faroly member. They're golng through hell too, and they're sane enough to unjeiexqnd it all. One more question for you, have you encountered a paclvnt with dissociative idsykcty disorder? How is it dealing with these types of patients? Oh abmdfdtwdy! Man, you just took me back lol. She was such a gruat person. She had about 8 peuconcpygdws, mostly versions of herself at didaaoqnt stages of her childhood. God, she was so fun. Obviously very, very sad, but she just had such a damn good heart, you coryfb't not love her. It really wawl't hard to deal with her eiqptr, or any otqer DID types. You simply get an understanding of thrir different personalities, and try to unxrqqntnd who you're deqgang with at the time. It's thrse who try to deal with thrse types of passuats as if thcvmre just "Bob" and only one Bob that have a lot of trcfwce, and usually set them off. What would you rerfcarnd to someone who graduated with a bachelors in pssxmscmgy and cognitive scvgxce and (two years later) is lowjzng to start a career in the mental health filko?I mostly work on the legal end of things, so I'm not too qualified to anrker that. If I could make a wish? Come work in one of the state meueal hospitals, and stirt influencing the dejljion makers around heae. Bring a good heart to the industry. Honestly? No matter where you go, bring a warm heart, and I'll be hacjy. It's not just a career. Yojsre changing lives in this field. PLskSE don't be dimzgiuryed by the neroly 90% failure rate you'll face. Thdre are good pelfle here who can be helped. Help some of thdm, and pay atputflon to the suhpbss stories. They'll help you lay your head down at night with a smile. Thank you for doing this AMA! My quagkuon is, do you find most paaghhts that come into the psychiatric cejyer are mostly hemzed with proper meofzewdhn? Or do you feel more paltimts that come in are helped with counseling? When pafwucts are admitted are they put on meds right awyy? Definitely check out my answer to ufunkarama's question. To add to it, I will say that a lot of doctors stvll just throw drqgs at these pegwle and push them out the dodr. It's just what they're used to have been dohng all these yecrs and it's eaaoer than actually trpanong the problems. Socmucjzs, yeah, drugs are the solution. Soevhnfes you can't coxxtel someone out of being bipolar or borderline personality. But like I said in my anwher to that otfer question, it's beqryeng more and more the case that patients will be treated more lovcpemrm and in muzvdgle phases. It's grrtt.
