Do you want to elaborate? Sectioning an individual is always a last resort.

I don't know what you're referencing?

No idea what you’re talking about?!

Do you mean toward staff from patients ?
Or patients towards patients?
Or staff towards patients?

Abuse of patients or staff?

I am sure you the level of abuse from staff to patients will be nowhere near that of the 1980s/1990s for those in psychiatric care. (Best friend had truly shocking experience)

*I am sure you'll find

From what happened to me, and others I grew friends with during my stay who sadly were never released as committed suicide there. There was abuse from patient to staff, patient to patient and staff to patient... in some hospitals it's a shit show. But depends where you go, and time you go. Staff are individuals some are horrid and abusers, others genuinely care, also patients you are with, if your with a burly man going through psychosis compared to an 18year old with depression for example..
