I had depression as a child. Not diagnosed until much later in life. I always knew what it was. We had a strong history of mental health in my family. My dads twin sister had pretty serious problems. It wasn't a secret. She had been instatutionalised on and off, had shock therapy, etc. i didn't talk to anyone about it. Her history made me afraid to get help until i was in my 30s. I had my mom die of brain cancer and a really horrible divorce. Ive gone through, i still am, incredibly hard things, but support really helps. My emotional support cat also is incredibly helpful. Its too bad that very lonely people don't have any. It helps my loneliness.y prayers and good energy out to you all.
I used to work in a weekend program for patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Many have such a deterioration in functioning when they gt ill that they really need support similar to that of people with far lower intellectual abilities than they had before they developed symtoms. That and they have to be actively reminded how to behave, often. I appreciate the clarity that the nurse used when he addressed the "frequent flier", but also understand that with his combination of problems, the poor man will be turning to the hospital for both supportive care and company that he should be getting from other sources, but sadly can´t get. Much luck to him and kudos to the emergency room staff.
Soooo many people do not have the patience, compassion, empathy, education and understanding to work in mental health, it’s extremely frustrating when you see ‘professionals’ treat patients like trash. This field is hard, but so rewarding.
I would say the medical profession in general... Several years before her death my mother was rear-ended by a vehicle traveling at velocity. For almost two years and numerous doctor visits/exams no one was able to diagnose her problem - two herniated disc's at the cervical level. She was referred to a psychiatrist who, after ONE 15-20 minute review, diagnosed her as "an old woman looking for money and attention". I, with the blessings of her attorney, investigated the doctor. What I found was alarming... he previously practiced in two other states and had his medical license restricted or suspended for substance abuse and domestic violence. And he failed to disclose this to this State's medical board. He's not a physician anymore... at least not in America
Wow, that’s absolutely awful! I’m sorry that you and your Mom experienced that. It’s wonderful you advocated for her. I have yet to meet a psychiatrist I respect to be honest. Not that they are all nightmares but still, far too many are.
Hearing Jenny talk about the young people she helps really makes me so thankful that depression in children is taken much more seriously, nowadays. When I was a child, before I even became a teenager, I confided in a family member that I thought I was depressed. I was being bullied at school and was so miserable that I just could not see a way out, other than that I just didn't want to be there, anymore. But I didn't get very far into talking about just how bad the problem was, because I was promptly told, " You're 9! What on earth do you have to be depressed about?" I never opened up to that family member again and her words still echo through my head, more than 30 years later. At school, when I reported the bullying, the teacher's answer to the situation was to hold a meeting with me and the tormenters and go off on us all, accusing us of 'petty, pre-teen girl nastiness and drama,' even though I had never done anything to them, other than report them. She made me feel that my problems were inconveniencing her and I was at fault for a situation that I had no part in and already felt powerless in.
Your story mirrors mine!! Depression since I can remember back...3 years or so? I too tried to talk to someone & had the same response 😢I sure wish there was something to help; doesn't seem to be so 😢😢. since
I'm so sorry that you didn't get help from those closest to you when you needed them. Our family has a history of depression that helped me recognize it in my daughter at a VERY young age. My mother's cousin committed suicide, as did my cousin at the age of 34. My sweet little brother at the very young age of 10. Many years later my Mom took her own life. She was 62. Given this tragic history I was very much aware of the signs of serious depression when my daughter, at the age of FIVE, told me that something was wrong with her, that "God didn't make me right mama, I wish I was dead". At FIVE! We did not talk about suicide, depression or death around the house so this was not something she picked up in passing. By that time there had already been signs of trouble ahead. My heart would almost crumble when I'd see the overwhelming amount of similarities between my daughter and my little brother. Their personalities, so sweet, both would do anything for anybody, so quick to help.. BOTH so easily wounded, so fragile, taking everything to heart... I cannot stress enough how important it is that people, (whether they're parents, teachers, friends or even strangers) LISTEN when someone, no matter how young, tells you that they are sad. Listen between their spoken words, and TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!!! The death of my brother allowed me to identify, at an extremely early age, that my own daughter had a very serious problem. One she still battles with to this day. As does her mother.
@@Sacheen81 Thank you for always supporting and advocating for your child! I know it seems like something that is standard, but sad to say that there are still people in this world having children and not even thinking about their mental well-being as just as important as their physical well-being.
The two girls are so sweet and very patient. Its cute how they entertained each other. Clive is a fortunate man to have an understanding wife. The twin boys are adorable! They are blessed to have each other.
As an American I can say that as a family member and a patient, I've experienced Emergency Room (A&E) and general in-patient care which ranged from Outstanding to Deplorable... both of which was a reflection of the individual staff members. I will say that hospitals NEED to take great care about the staff they hire... too many people enter the field for reasons other than humanitarian. And I'll add this caveat as well for any hospital/medical staff who may read this - *NEVER* make the mistake of assuming that a patient/family members are ignorant of medicine and proper protocal. You would be surprised at what some of us DO KNOW.
Absolutely, we live in the US, and my mom fell and broke 4 ribs and needed a chest tube. She has a port because of breast cancer. They went to access the port for meds, blood work and stuff. The nurse did not put it all the way in, and it wasn't working. I told her she didn't have it all the way in and explained how, very politely. She then brought in the senior nurse, and she pushed it in the rest of the way. I saw her do it but then tried to lie to me and said it was in properly it just needed to be flushed. I have seen nurses access it for 6 months. I know when it's in properly. I told the Dr. what had happened and that it's okay if she didn't get it right the first time, but don't lie to me. Soon after, she came in to apologize and admitted she was wrong. The senior nurse also apologized and said she was trying to keep the other nurse from being embarrassed. I have been in and out of hospitals all my life between moms medical problems and mine. I can say I know a lot more than some of the nurses out there. Bedside manners are important. Listen and hear what is being spoken.
Agree! 🎯 I worked for a doctors' answering svc, both my mother & myself had/have multiple medical issues & I watch this kind of show a lot, not to mention, was a diehard ER fan! For example, I pretty much know the routine for asthma, had it for 30 some years & it's only recently resolved itself, except for sometimes with a cold 🤧 or 🤒 flu. I can even turn off my own heart monitor if I want to go to the restroom. I know what Rx they are apt to use for nausea. I could go on...!
@jjrat5pack heart disease and serious scoliosis. Mom has many. Cancer, fibromyalgia, and more . I can do my own EKGs. Know how to turn for x-rays needed. Now, all the drugs and what they do. Know how to use the port for moms chemo treatments. Ect ect. Hey, we need to go into nursing. 🙂 too bad I'm now disabled. Hope your health is improving.
I was a stroke case manager and the youngest patient we had was 18 and the oldest I cared for was 101. It is surprising when young patients come in but I am glad to see they treated him appropriately.♥️
God bless the mental health teams in all the hospitals. I lost my 24 year old grandson to suicide because of mental health issues. If he’d had an understanding ear to help him through crisis, he might still be with us. Maybe. Those dark demons are hard to beat though. Thank you to all who try to beat them. You have my eternal gratitude.
22:57 This fellow is what is known to ER staff as a "frequent flyer" 25:10 It is bad enough to be working in a stressful environment but to have to deal with a grown man who is constantly demanding attention like an infant must be miserable
I live in the US are mental health system is so broken 😢.I know myself I suffer from it Love these ppl they take care of the mental health problems so much better ❤
@@jackiemarini3203Yes, the US mental health awful. I feel so bad for those who really need and want help but aren't getting it. Bless you, and I hope for the very best to come your way.
Yes, mental illness is really hard sometimes to detect, especially with children because they try to hide it. Teenagers won’t realize it and parents will just think that they’re acting up when they’re having trouble coping with life. I had my first post, traumatic stress disorder caused by turning into a type one diabetic in 1971 at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and nearly dying of it, but what happened with me is that I was in ICU coming in and out of a coma and in the bed beside me was a girl who suffered from anorexia who was laying on the bed with just a diaper on and she looked like a skeleton. She was so skinny. When mom came up to see me I just started screaming at her and kicking and telling her she had to get me out of there because the skeleton is going to come get me, then she realized what was going on and asked the nurses to put a divider between the two beds so I wouldn’t look at the poor girl. A couple of years later we saw that very same girl in the elevator and she was no longer skin and bone. She was a healthy 15-year-old girl. Then when they took me out of ICU, I was put into a four bed room with 3 girls and two girls in the room had cancer and one girl had mucus in her lungs. Well, while we were there, somebody came in to see the girl with the lung problem and started slapping her, and the girl was screaming, but she was coughing as well, which is why the physiotherapist was slapping her on the back, but to a nine year-old little girl, I thought she was getting beaten up by this adult that was just one of the cases. One of the girls and I were taken out of the four bedroom and put in a room with two beds in it. She was nine years old as well and I had never seen a girl look like her before. Every morning we counted the hair that was on her pillow and she said it had happened before where she lost all her hair. I was discharged to go home a week later and she was going home for a day, but for some reason, I thought that we would still see each other so we really never said a final goodbye. What nine year-old knows how to say goodbye in that way? Three months later, my mom told me that the girl had ended up at the hospital that was really close to us, but her parents didn’t want anybody to visit. Two weeks later I saw my mom talking to her friend who was a nurse at the hospital and I just knew that the girl had passed away . I just started crying and my mom heard me crying and she ran into the house to make sure I was OK and to be with me. I didn’t know, nobody else knew either that a secret would come out when talking to a counsellor after I was sexually assaulted battery in 2001 and what came out was that after the girl had died I had survivors guilt that I lived with most of my life. During my teens I tried twice to commit suicide by taking too much medication but I hated the feeling on having a diabetic Lo so I would end up eating sweets to get out of the Lo. Once it came out about survivors guilt I was able to heal. I found that I could talk about Brenda without crying and that was a big improvement. She was such a sweet little girl. Why I told you about this is because there’s things that we see or go through when we are children that we never knew that is buried inside us and it takes years for it to come out but until it does we make mistakes and suffer. I just feel for society in general because we have so much wrong with it and we all suffer on some level. I wonder why they never put a nicotine patch on that diabetic patient? I can’t believe that young boy had a stroke. You just never know when something’s going to hit you that’s going to change the rest of your life. Thank goodness he made a full recovery .
This is why I always bring a vape if I'm going to go to the ER here in the States. I know it's technically not allowed and frowned upon, but it's way better than spending 6hrs+ fighting the overwhelming urge to have a smoke.
Wow, they actually escort them out to have a smoke in the er? The only hospitals in the us that do that are the mental/addiction hospitals. And even then it’s usually not until you move onto a unit…
Where I am (Canada) you have to be escorted as well. Because people have oxygen tanks out there, they leave, get illicit drugs, go for food, people wander. It’s just safer. Most places have nic patches and nic inhalers for these situations where you can’t leave a room
@@kaidanariko oh I see what you thought I meant. In regular hospitals in the us, there’s never any smoking while you are admitted. Most are all out no smoking so visitors can’t even smoke on premises anymore. I’m amazed at the fact there’s any smoking in general.
@@ZieSpiralOut OOOOH. I misunderstood. Yeah you can’t smoke on hospital premises here either. Doesn’t stop those life long people coming in for chemo and radiation though from dragging their oxygen tank half a mile to get off the grounds to have a smoke. A lot will collapse and need assistance back to the hospital. Waste of resources in some cases.
Its the denial of an issue with functioning alcoholics that because they arent comatose, theyre ok. Alcoholism isnt genetic persé.. not being able to face your issues and need to drown your trauma is definitely generational coping that is taught. I wish i was given a quiet room to talk with someone when i went in for mental breakdown - i wa stuck next to a screaming old lady stuck in a dementia loop and an old guy moaning from abdominal pain. Its *not* what i needed to be around for six plus hours - to get me out of my mentality of "there is nothing to look forward to/live for". After overhearing the nurses say there were no beds for me anyway i insisted i be allowed to leave.
I cant help but wonder if a home for that man would be better. Clearly living independently with attempts at in home help isnt actually helping. Hes literally a danger to himself as he cannot take medication reliably and is draining resources even more out of boredom. At least in a home he would be consistently monitored, medicated and entertained/have company.

I love this show
Psych Nurse is AWESOME.
Counselling is good for depression. It sure helped me.
This is the best episode I have ever watched
Borage is a word. And they should give him a nicotine patch.

The man who says that he cannot cope on his own, needs to be admitted to a care home, obviously.
Epic outro. Congratulations!
The recovering alcoholic man needs to realize that alcohol causes depression. If he continues to avoid alcohol, his depression will improve.

@32:26 The nurse should have drawn the drapes to ensure the privacy for this patient. She should have known better.
Clive looks like one of the 3 Stooges, the thief in Home Alone.
It would be nice if the ER had someone to sit with the gentleman with schizophrenia but I’m sure that would cost too much for the hospital.
The gentleman with Schizophrenia couldn’t a nurse go daily to give his insulin to him and reduce these admissions to ER.
Cost and staff levels but also blood sugars fluctuate throughout the day and night (Type 1) ER gives him human contact with multiple people
I’m sorry … did she say 74 suicide attempts? 74?!?!
The blond with a hand injury shouldn’t clogging up the er.

I cant help but wonder if a home for that man would be better. Clearly living independently with attempts at in home help isnt actually helping.
Hes literally a danger to himself as he cannot take medication reliably and is draining resources even more out of boredom.
At least in a home he would be consistently monitored, medicated and entertained/have company.
The programme is great but the dubbing is awful.
