(12,452 posts)Long term psych care
Than there's the fact some psydocs don't care and are motivated to admit and discharge as many people as they can..
Long term psych care died when reagan let hmos overtake and he eliminated long term psych care.
The day you have a psych admission they talk about discharge plans..on day one.
I have been to psych hospitals many times in my life. At this point I don't fuck around if my illness symptoms present themselves.
Took me years of therapy to get to this point.
I also go to a psychiatric rehabilitation program or prp.
There are groups,therapy,emergency therapist and other things there along with a community that helps me tremendously.
Maryland still falls short but they have better care for the mentally ill than other states. If I didn't have years of long term care I dunno if I could have ever reached this point in my recovery.
Also dark triad personalities should be kept away from general population psych be they staff or patients. They need seperate care because they endanger other clients safety and sanity.Psychiatry needs to seperate dark triad because they bring nothing but chaos and suffering to psych hospitals or any program they attend.
