To be shocked that dd’s friend has had 23 mental inpatient admissions

[Sinceyouwentaway]

She only 24 all have been while she’s an adult. I’m surprised as I always thought inpatient admissions were hard to get and that no seems to have done much to Prevent this young woman being admitted countless times

@MustardMitt

I think it really depends what her issue is?

If she’s a paranoid shizophrenic who becomes a danger to herself and others and won’t stay on her medication regimen, that’s quite different to a young woman who keeps self harming.

I don't have schizophrenia but as with all mental illnesses it is better to refer to a sufferer as 'A person with paranoid schizophrenia, someone with anorexia nervosa, a woman with bipolar disorder' rather than 'an anorexic, a schizophrenic'.

Could be 3 day crisis admissions. Really common if you have a EUPD/BPD diagnosis.
Or being recalled on a CTO. During a month long inpatient stay, I saw a lady come in 4 times on recall for getting drunk/not taking meds.
