A person can be ...You just don't get it do you? A person can be experiencing withdrawal from a legal drug, the same way a junky withdraws from illegal drugs.<br />"those difficult patients" might be having withdrawal from the legal drugs, but no one can say that. They blame the bad behaviour on the mental illness.<br />The psychiatric medicines (just drugs) can only do GOOD things to the patient. sarcasmMark p.s.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10529811159862096782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-847041762134636942012-07-23T12:47:07.332-05:002012-07-23T12:47:07.332-05:00@ Mark p.s.2 - I resent that comment. Not all of u...@ Mark p.s.2 - I resent that comment. Not all of us mentals are on drugs. In fact a lot of the time those of us who don't have meds are probably more difficult to treat as we become increasingly unstable, irrational and paranoid. (I speak from experience as a med-free borderline).<br /><br />Madness, it is a lovely thought, but I believe it would be incredibly difficult to come up with a workable strategy that would apply to all. Then again, it shouldn't be too hard to recognise when something is causing distress, even if you can't easily identify what.<br /><br />Unfamiliar men are a known trigger for me and I make sure that staff are aware of this if I have to go to A&E. This info is given in writing along with my basic details and why I'm there and is generally attached to the front of my notes by the triage nurse. I also tell them that I am more likely to cope with a man if a female is also present. I often end up with a lone male doctor who looks at me like dirt when I can't look at or speak to them, let alone shake their hand or let them physically examine me.Sardonyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996919862592670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-64190570068707352662012-07-22T08:06:31.527-05:002012-07-22T08:06:31.527-05:00Don't forget the mental health patients are on...Don't forget the mental health patients are on drugs. Drugs from mental health professionals. They need their drugs just like the illegal drug addict.<br /><br />"anger, impulsivity and frequent mood swings" are from their mental illness not from the legal drugs messing with their brain chemistry.
