So, after a, I won’t say hellish, but bad few weeks. I’ve finaly gone back to the doctors with help from my mother who really wanted me to go to hospital. But the doctor didn’t think this was the best course of action. So she has placed me on some medication to help me until the mental health board get in touch with me, which will be coming much sooner(within 5 days i believe) thanks to sed doctor. So while the medication prescribed won’t do much. It will help me cope for the next week or so.
Really glad to be back on the road to recovery after the threat of killing my cousin had passed, and my own injuries. as well as a heavily contemplated suicide.
If you feel suicidal again you should go to the mental hospital. I’m glad you have recovered and the doctor is taking care of you, and that you will be taking care of everything in the next 5 days or so.
Don’t know if recovered is the right word Mr.Sea, but Im feeling a lot better than i was i guess its just the reasurance that Help is on the way? I don’t know…but yeah glad the ball is rolling again.
It’s widely accepted in the profession now that re-hospitalization (which was typical years ago) usually (not always) makes sz pts worse. It certainly didn’t help me in the '90s and early '00s. I’ve been locked up 11 times, I think.
Best practice (according to almost every authoritative source I know) is to
get the pt’s living & financial situations tolerable,
get his or her meds working effectively and with the least sfx possible, and
get the pt into cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, which has thus far been shown to be the best for most of the schizophreniform disorders, save schizoaffective, which seems to respond best to dialectical behavior therapy.
