My uncle is an alcoholic and he was drunk one night at his sisters house. He wasn’t hurting himself or anyone else but the cops put handcuffs on him and said he wasn’t being arrested. They brought him to a mental hospital instead of a rehab. They brought him in on an emergency hold. He was supposed to stay there 72 hours and he’s done that!!! They keep holding him and my mom went to visit him and he was so drugged up and was saying they were being mean. He has done nothing wrong!!! He’s not mental at all!! He could barely talk! He was like a zombie!!! They aren’t letting him outside in the fresh air or anything! They are basically breaking his spirit!! He’s an alcoholic not a crazy person!!!! What do we do?? This is crazy!!!!

I am so scared about being committed again. I don’t have any help at all. My parents have never cared and they should have filed law suits and really gone after the psychiatrists who so recklessly overmedicated me and ended up poisoning me making me need medical treatment on several occasions.

I keep getting placed into mental health facilities. Every month. I have a mental I'llness however I have parkinson's disease and I don't wanna be in these places
This might sound like a joke but if you are in a mental hospital and want to get out this is how to get discharged: make everyone believe you love it there and want to stay for the rest of your life. You will be discharged very soon.

To piggy back on your #1 tip, always always always lawyer up. This is coming from someone who has an A.S. and a B.S. in Criminal Justice and has been in law enforcement for 6+ years as a correctional officer as well as a deputy at the county and state level. You literally gain NOTHING from speaking to us, haha. You only implicate yourself, and if you are sane and/or not guilty, it only hurts your case. Regarding tip #2, when I worked for CPS (Child Protective Services) we bypassed the ROI via state law. We automatically were able to receive any and all medical documents if there was an open child abuse/neglect assessment ongoing.

I'm in the process of letting go of my past. In the recent past, I received an involuntary commitment order and forced psychiatric medication over the course of two months approximately. I would have been grateful for an independent advocate during my stay. I feel it could have been helpful to have a second or third opinion from a psychiatrist of my choice. I might not have communicated effectively partially due to my neuro developmental disabilities (high functioning autism, adhd) contributing to delayed growth in certain areas including communication skills as an example. I appreciated the care I received at the time
Same. They actually tried to kill me by overdosing me on forced "prn" that if already had. Nearly shut down my kidneys, Thank God he spoke up for me and I rebuked the CRAP out of the psychiatrists until they let me out 😂❤

In Canada if you are in a psychiatric hospital you still have a right to refuse treatment, so you can refuse medication. There are exceptions, but if you are deemed not to be able to make decisions then a substitute decision maker (usually an immediate family member) has to agree to treatment.

Hello, I saw some of your video my sister is potentially taking medication that has very concerning side effects please reply back I don't know what to do I feel so helpless.
Are they allowed to use heavy restraints? Or straightjackets? What about if the patient is screaming, are they allowed to gag patients? All these doubts make not want to see a therapist. Even the thought of being private of my freedom like this makes me so shaky and have dark thoughts
I dont think any place uses straight jackets any more (thank god). Some places use wrist-to-waist restraints. (No heavy restraints). As far as gagging goes. . I'd say no b/c too risky. Instead they would just overly sedate someone. What's preventing you from seeing the therapist?
@@A_Psych_Nurse the thought of being trapped, my freedom being taken away, ... In my country (Spain) is harder to get therapy in the public healthcare and when i get frustrated i get really dark thoughts like running away or worse. I remember when the Justice League (Snyder Cut) was released i thought i was going to LOVE It but i hated It, that night i cried myself to sleep and got really scared by the xtreme thoughts that crossed my mind and It was just a Movie. Also sometimes when i get frustrated i get extremely violent thoughts towards myself or people. Im sorry if i bothered you and thanks for anwsering anyway.
@@oberon0275 from the sounds of it, I think a therapist would be interested in what you have to say. Thx for sharing Oberon--and I wonder if everyone feels violent occasionally? (not trying to downplay what you're experiencing btw). I def have some questionable thoughts every now and then :)

Excellent video. My question is actually thr opposite, how do I request or enable long-term stay for my sister (age 36)with schizophrenia who continuously goes off her meds, runs away from home just to locate her months after she's in deep psychosis. Then get her placed on a med hold and have to start back at square zero again when she's release after 72 hours?
Hi Sham, I have a long answer for you and in time I'll make a video about your comment. Thank you for posting and sorry to hear about your sister :(, this happens SO frequently it's appalling and is a huge gap in our mental health system.
Maybe instead of more hospitalization, you have to look at some alternative treatment ..why not ask her why she keeps stopping the meds.. She's probably overdrugged, can't think or function so stops. You know what they say about repeating the same thing that isn't working....
sorry boss I thought I replied to this comment. They can be changed at the discretion of the psychiatrist, but they are unlikely to be changed unless, according to the psychiatrist, the risks outweigh the benefits. The psychiatrist also has to petition for a list of meds she'd like to try as involuntary, meaning that the court/judge will need to approve the list, and then if they change a med, it must come from that judge-approved list. (When I saw involuntary med lists it was usually around 10 meds or so long, and would include meds to manage potential side effects, meds like Cogentin, Keppra, etc.).
@@A_Psych_Nurse What if people have a hard time taking meds, and would it be easier to take it a different way (besides the mouth, pill shape form?) (When I been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor called non-hodgkin lymphoma cell b and went through chmeo, because my tumor was the size of a mango (191mm) I basically had a very hard time swallowing.) A lot better now but when I take things in a pill shape even small ones like a size of a piece of corn I still had a hard time swallowing it sometimes it fells like I'm choking a little. (My meds are cough and laxatives I don't take it all of the time only as needed) (do you think it is a good option if people have a hard time taking things in pill forms to find alternative a better way for them to take ther meds (if I had to take meds I'll perfer anything that is not a pill) (voluntarily)
@@nickr9019 Yeah absolutely--thankfully some of the meds we administer do come in dissolvable or injectable forms. And sometimes the side effects from those very meds make it difficult to swallow as well (from psychotropics).
How often can relatives visit their patient in the hospital. ,,, And what happens to patient who have been discharged and the relatives are not coming to get the patient?
visitation hours/frequency is entirely dependent on the hospital. After COVID a lot of hospitals stopped allowing visitors. Sometimes patients are discharged to the street (if this is their adamant preference), sometimes they are discharged back home, sometimes to alternative care facilities/group homes), sometimes they are mandated to stay somewhere while out in the community. It's VERY situational.
Almost all of them. Getting a lawyer does help scare the hospital into letting people go, but 90% of people can't afford that. My parents did it for me, but it cost them $5000 just for a few hours of legal help. All the other tips are useless. Knowing the rules doesn't help when most hospitals don't follow rules. What does work is having the patient lie, go along with whatever hoops the hospital wants then to jump through and generally act compliant while in there. That drastically increases the odds of them getting out early. I've had a friend successfully get out by lying and pretending the hospital made her better, when actually it made her worse, as most do. I also knew someone who got out early by pretending he couldn't talk. Because he was being quiet and unemotional, they let him go. The less emotion you show, the more they will treat you like a human being. Showing emotion only gets you punished. Another thing is to suggest a transfer. Most hospitals will resist requests to let the patient go outright because they are afraid of liability. But if the loved ones say they are planning to transfer the patient to another facility and sign a release "against medical advice" form, they are more likely to let the patient go. Especially if you give a compelling reason, such as wanting them to be in a hospital closer to family. They tend not to follow up and check if you actually brought them to a new hospital. Another important one is insurance. Many UHS hospitals will kick people out who no longer have insurance coverage because they are only holding people for the money anyway (see the buzzfeed expose). If they believe you won't be profitable, they'll let you go. If you can convince your insurance company to stop paying, you could get out. Also, legally speaking, the "gravely disabled" criteria only works if the patient has no one else besides the hospital willing to care for them. I know hospitals generally ignore this, but it's worth trying. If a loved one states in writing that they are willing and able to care for the patient, it is illegal for the hospital to continue holding them. Importantly, don't make a break for it. Many of these places have armed guards, and they will shoot you if you try to escape. A funny way of "helping" someone if you ask me, but it happens. Another thing to be aware of is what language the patient uses. The hospital is looking for signs that they are suicidal, so it is important to never mention having a plan for suicide and avoid admitting to any suicidal thoughts. You also should hide any thoughts that resemble schizophrenia or mania, as those are considered some of the worst disorders. Don't mention hearing voices or talking to Jesus, and try to talk slowly or not at all. These people are basically thought police, so you have to be careful about revealing your thoughts to them.
@@hueyandmo I think you bring up some great tips here--and I especially agree w/ the idea of going/pretending to go along w/ the flow and saying how much the hospital has helped you. Stroking the egos of those in power definitely helps and I've first hand witness patients be help much longer than necessary b/c they wanted to contradict the psychiatrist or question their psychologist.
He losing his mind from the ontological of the clients, flirty nurses developing a republic like ceaser, didn't want to reverse the retrograde amnesia....zopilcone wouldn't even put him to sleep... doctor will assess you.
Almost no one can afford a lawyer, and almost non of the lawyers have any experience in the field. Moreover, many patients - for good reasons - have lost all their belief in authorities. People are so sick from trauma, but primary from the drugs, that they can hardly stand on their own legs. They have no social network and probably no one would ever believe them 💔
Hi Julie. I'm unaware of this statistic. Do you have a source for it? I've heard stats where blacks are disproportionately imprisoned, and we had a lot of patients come from jails, maybe there's a correlation. It seems as though they are disproportionately in psych wards as well. We had a lot of black patients who might have been labeled as "thugs" by the system, and there was certainly a lot of closet discrimination against those carrying this label.
@@A_Psych_Nurse thanks for your reply I hope you read the link I sent. Black people who come across mental health services are more likely to be detained (4 times more likely). It makes it less of an option for seeking mental health services for fear of incarceration and labelling and forced medication. In order to expand on this I’d require a direct non public method of correspondence

Hi. How can I contact with you? I need your help
I'm going through this in the UK
Hello, I saw some of your video my sister is potentially taking medication that has very concerning side effects please reply back I don't know what to do I feel so helpless.
God bless you
What is the difference between voluntary vs involuntary hold?
there isn't such thing as a "voluntary hold." Involuntary hold just means you have to be there whether you want to be or not. :)
Cant get an attorney. They won't touch this at all.
Hey can you help me get information for another country? Such as southeast asia
Are they allowed to use heavy restraints? Or straightjackets? What about if the patient is screaming, are they allowed to gag patients? All these doubts make not want to see a therapist. Even the thought of being private of my freedom like this makes me so shaky and have dark thoughts
I dont think any place uses straight jackets any more (thank god). Some places use wrist-to-waist restraints. (No heavy restraints). As far as gagging goes. . I'd say no b/c too risky. Instead they would just overly sedate someone.
What's preventing you from seeing the therapist?
@@A_Psych_Nurse the thought of being trapped, my freedom being taken away, ... In my country (Spain) is harder to get therapy in the public healthcare and when i get frustrated i get really dark thoughts like running away or worse. I remember when the Justice League (Snyder Cut) was released i thought i was going to LOVE It but i hated It, that night i cried myself to sleep and got really scared by the xtreme thoughts that crossed my mind and It was just a Movie. Also sometimes when i get frustrated i get extremely violent thoughts towards myself or people. Im sorry if i bothered you and thanks for anwsering anyway.
@@oberon0275 from the sounds of it, I think a therapist would be interested in what you have to say. Thx for sharing Oberon--and I wonder if everyone feels violent occasionally? (not trying to downplay what you're experiencing btw). I def have some questionable thoughts every now and then :)
Hi, dont think you remember me but i think i kinda got worse. Started to c*t myself and i can feel myself getting deeper in this negative feelings, today i jad the thought of putting myself in the road Next to my school (im 22), so that's me @@A_Psych_Nurse
Excellent video. My question is actually thr opposite, how do I request or enable long-term stay for my sister (age 36)with schizophrenia who continuously goes off her meds, runs away from home just to locate her months after she's in deep psychosis. Then get her placed on a med hold and have to start back at square zero again when she's release after 72 hours?
Hi Sham, I have a long answer for you and in time I'll make a video about your comment. Thank you for posting and sorry to hear about your sister :(, this happens SO frequently it's appalling and is a huge gap in our mental health system.

Maybe instead of more hospitalization, you have to look at some alternative treatment ..why not ask her why she keeps stopping the meds.. She's probably overdrugged, can't think or function so stops. You know what they say about repeating the same thing that isn't working....

How do I contact you...

If you are on involuntary meds and you don't like some of the meds can they be changed?
sorry boss I thought I replied to this comment. They can be changed at the discretion of the psychiatrist, but they are unlikely to be changed unless, according to the psychiatrist, the risks outweigh the benefits. The psychiatrist also has to petition for a list of meds she'd like to try as involuntary, meaning that the court/judge will need to approve the list, and then if they change a med, it must come from that judge-approved list. (When I saw involuntary med lists it was usually around 10 meds or so long, and would include meds to manage potential side effects, meds like Cogentin, Keppra, etc.).
@@A_Psych_Nurse What if people have a hard time taking meds, and would it be easier to take it a different way (besides the mouth, pill shape form?) (When I been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor called non-hodgkin lymphoma cell b and went through chmeo, because my tumor was the size of a mango (191mm) I basically had a very hard time swallowing.) A lot better now but when I take things in a pill shape even small ones like a size of a piece of corn I still had a hard time swallowing it sometimes it fells like I'm choking a little. (My meds are cough and laxatives I don't take it all of the time only as needed) (do you think it is a good option if people have a hard time taking things in pill forms to find alternative a better way for them to take ther meds (if I had to take meds I'll perfer anything that is not a pill) (voluntarily)
@@nickr9019 Yeah absolutely--thankfully some of the meds we administer do come in dissolvable or injectable forms. And sometimes the side effects from those very meds make it difficult to swallow as well (from psychotropics).
How often can relatives visit their patient in the hospital. ,,, And what happens to patient who have been discharged and the relatives are not coming to get the patient?
visitation hours/frequency is entirely dependent on the hospital. After COVID a lot of hospitals stopped allowing visitors. Sometimes patients are discharged to the street (if this is their adamant preference), sometimes they are discharged back home, sometimes to alternative care facilities/group homes), sometimes they are mandated to stay somewhere while out in the community. It's VERY situational.
What tip did I miss?
Hello!! Do u know what type of attorney I need to contact here in Alabama? I’m going through this now with my brother
Almost all of them. Getting a lawyer does help scare the hospital into letting people go, but 90% of people can't afford that. My parents did it for me, but it cost them $5000 just for a few hours of legal help. All the other tips are useless. Knowing the rules doesn't help when most hospitals don't follow rules.
What does work is having the patient lie, go along with whatever hoops the hospital wants then to jump through and generally act compliant while in there. That drastically increases the odds of them getting out early. I've had a friend successfully get out by lying and pretending the hospital made her better, when actually it made her worse, as most do.
I also knew someone who got out early by pretending he couldn't talk. Because he was being quiet and unemotional, they let him go. The less emotion you show, the more they will treat you like a human being. Showing emotion only gets you punished.
Another thing is to suggest a transfer. Most hospitals will resist requests to let the patient go outright because they are afraid of liability. But if the loved ones say they are planning to transfer the patient to another facility and sign a release "against medical advice" form, they are more likely to let the patient go. Especially if you give a compelling reason, such as wanting them to be in a hospital closer to family. They tend not to follow up and check if you actually brought them to a new hospital.
Another important one is insurance. Many UHS hospitals will kick people out who no longer have insurance coverage because they are only holding people for the money anyway (see the buzzfeed expose). If they believe you won't be profitable, they'll let you go. If you can convince your insurance company to stop paying, you could get out.
Also, legally speaking, the "gravely disabled" criteria only works if the patient has no one else besides the hospital willing to care for them. I know hospitals generally ignore this, but it's worth trying. If a loved one states in writing that they are willing and able to care for the patient, it is illegal for the hospital to continue holding them.
Importantly, don't make a break for it. Many of these places have armed guards, and they will shoot you if you try to escape. A funny way of "helping" someone if you ask me, but it happens.
Another thing to be aware of is what language the patient uses. The hospital is looking for signs that they are suicidal, so it is important to never mention having a plan for suicide and avoid admitting to any suicidal thoughts. You also should hide any thoughts that resemble schizophrenia or mania, as those are considered some of the worst disorders. Don't mention hearing voices or talking to Jesus, and try to talk slowly or not at all. These people are basically thought police, so you have to be careful about revealing your thoughts to them.
@@hueyandmo I think you bring up some great tips here--and I especially agree w/ the idea of going/pretending to go along w/ the flow and saying how much the hospital has helped you.
Stroking the egos of those in power definitely helps and I've first hand witness patients be help much longer than necessary b/c they wanted to contradict the psychiatrist or question their psychologist.
People make money off the way we feel 🖕
What is ry?
Hi I need help please
He losing his mind from the ontological of the clients, flirty nurses developing a republic like ceaser, didn't want to reverse the retrograde amnesia....zopilcone wouldn't even put him to sleep... doctor will assess you.
Almost no one can afford a lawyer, and almost non of the lawyers have any experience in the field.
Moreover, many patients - for good reasons - have lost all their belief in authorities.
People are so sick from trauma, but primary from the drugs, that they can hardly stand on their own legs. They have no social network and probably no one would ever believe them 💔

Hi I’d like to ask in your experience why black patients are more likely to be detained in psyche wards?
Hi Julie. I'm unaware of this statistic. Do you have a source for it? I've heard stats where blacks are disproportionately imprisoned, and we had a lot of patients come from jails, maybe there's a correlation. It seems as though they are disproportionately in psych wards as well. We had a lot of black patients who might have been labeled as "thugs" by the system, and there was certainly a lot of closet discrimination against those carrying this label.
@@A_Psych_Nurse thanks for your reply I hope you read the link I sent. Black people who come across mental health services are more likely to be detained (4 times more likely). It makes it less of an option for seeking mental health services for fear of incarceration and labelling and forced medication. In order to expand on this I’d require a direct non public method of correspondence
Hi! I tried to contact you at the email address listed above regarding a family member we are trying to get out of a psych ward. The email bounced. Is it still the same address as you listed above?

This video horrifies me simply because I have nonexistant family - If I go in any place like this, nobody will be looking up this video to help me. I've seen what the sacks of shit in the public school system realize parents don't care, so I can only imagine how terrible mental hospitals treat patients when they realize nobody cares outside.
I dont see a email
I don’t like people who take drugs, for example: airport security.
I do not know how tofind your email
I'm trying to email you that email doesn't pop up.

Escape.
