I'm in the process of being discharged from mental health services, so I am nearly "officially" well. Half way through my treatment, I moved and so changed professionals, and also my old case worker left her post, so there was a lot of messing about while my files were transferred.
Anyway, I was chatting to my current case worker the other day, and i said that at least I had never been sectioned - i had been taken to hospital by the police, who then stayed with me until I was admitted, so they could physically stop me running off.
The case worker said that sounds like a special kind of temporary section, but I would have been told at the time. However, if I had been told, I wouldn't remember now, as I have forgotten lots about that time.
I'm now umming and ahhing about asking to see some kind of record, but my case worker says I should maybe just leave it as it might upset me, and anyway sometimes the requests are turned down for things like this.
But I am officially better! no medication, no further treatment. I'm going straight from the pychosis team to my GPs care, which no symptoms for nearly two years.
I should know, shouldn't I?

To think I should know if I have been sectioned or not?
