To think there are people who play the system to get detained under the mental health act

[Whyohwhy80]

Seen a lot of it on tik tom people
lyinf in hospital beds after purposefully getting themselves detained by the police smiling and laughing

Dh was sectioned four years ago. It was a hugely dramatic experience for us all. Under section the unit is secure. Initially the patient is not allowed out at all and it is enormously stressful being away from family support. I have never come in contact with anyone who did this for fun and in frankness your suggestion that some people do shows a good deal of ignorance.

Not really you don’t know who I know. I don’t think smiling and making jokes such as don’t worry be happy in the psych ward are is

These people I’m talking about are out within days

Whilst this is all true, it's not what 'sectioned' means in common parlance. The general public have no knowledge of the MH act beyond "you can be sectioned and kept in hospital "

I call troll. Your comments are massively offensive and I doubt you have ever had anyone close to you go through being sectioned. It is really hard and the bar is quite high. A number of highly skilled staff are involved.

I’m not a troll. My comments are regarding behaviour I’ve seen. No where have I made comments to things I’ve not witnessed. If you choose not believe the posts I’ve seen that’s your choice

I’ve been sectioned multiple times as recent as less than a year ago so believe me I do know.

Then someone made a mistake/ misjudgement OR you are not aware of the full circumstances either way it’s got no bearing on your own care and treatment

This. I am not sure why OP continues to be so obsessed with other patients and defending her position in doing so.

Yet you said you’ve done the same thing? It matters to me because I’ve been acussed of things by professionals yet these people don’t

In the kindest possible way OP this thread isn’t doing you any good. Maybe step back? You are also offending people with direct experience of the system whether you mean to do this or not. Your approach is unhealthy. Maybe recalibrate?

Yes, I can see how wrong I was, and how it was not conductive to my own recovery. It just made me angry. I have a very strong sense of justice, and I felt wronged by it all. I am glad that the staff that picked it up called me out on it.
Concentrate on yourself. I think dwelling on other patients is doing you no good at all.
You are not privy to their notes or history.

I don’t really understand why you are so interested in other people? Concentrate on yourself.
I have been sectioned and had voluntary admissions. Now I realise mental health teams and medical teams are a danger. I now listen to the voices I hear (that the last psych I had said I made up) and things are better for me as I know none of them can interfere anymore.
People should do everything they can to avoid Mh teams and being detained. They’re dangerous.

Yes an I also feel injustice strongly as I have autism to. It’s hard to when I’ve been fro example falsely accused of being in a group chat trying to gain an admission yet they can’t see though people who actually do things like that. I felt the need to show my whole phone when I was in crisis which I shouldn’t have had to. Also I even if I did have a group chat I wouldn’t have been init by myself…

I can understand that. There used to be an AMHP social worker that I always seemed to get assessed by, and she was a cow. She used to make up stuff about me... like said I made a hospital stay last longer than it should have been (that is not up to me, and my community psychiatrist and therapist agreed that hospital was appropriate). Another time, she said I was offered time in a new acute community unit, and I turned it down. At the time she assessed me, it was months from even being open and I had no idea it existed.

Sometimes, you just have to go along with things in hospital to keep the peace. I know it is hard when you feel hard done by. You just want to explain yourself but no one listens.
Are there any staff there that you like and trust? It can help to calmly talk things through with them.

But a section 5/2 is just a doctors ( usually a junior Doctors) holding power it can last up tp 72 hours to get onto to an assesment ( section 2) or treatment( section 3) she would need to be seen by two doctors and an Amph .

For the people saying Section 2 is just for assessment, it isn't. You can also be treated under a Section 2.

And.. to the previous poster who said EUPD, CPTSD, Schizo etc were all the same thing on a spectrum, that is also incorrect. While many of the symptoms overlap, many don't. The treatment modalities, medications etc. can also be very different, depending on how you are presenting. Trauma underpins a lot of these diagnoses, but not all.

KC (Tiger onesie) has faced police action for what she's been doing. There has been consequences & court. She is on a criminal behaviour order (CBO).

She also does have significant vulnerability & pretty horrific past experiences

She shouldn't be posting all this on tiktok - I think part of it is a form of self harm - posting knowing that she will receive hate & abuse & bullying.

Just don't get involved

You cannot be treated against your consent on a section 2.
They can give you treatment eg medication if you consent to it, but if you refuse then they could only give emergency medication until they assess and detain for a section 3.

Wrong. You can be medicated against your will on S2. Happens all the time.

I wasn’t actually thinking of her I was talking about people in my own area that I know personally.

I’ve been injected on a section 2

In your OP you said it was people on tik tok & now it's people you know personally.

I think this is probably more about your behaviour & someone has pulled you up on it.

Repeatedly being sectioned doesn't validate you or your distress. Being sectioned is not a status to show how sick you are. No one can help unless you can keep yourself safe & engage with things like DBT.

Yes I know them but they also have tik tok accounts isn’t impossible? No it’s not my behaviour because I’m discharged always and always say I’m safe to go so no definitely not me.

I’ve asked for dbt months ago haven’t heard anything not even if I’m on waiting lists so it’s jto
thay simple tbh
