This following story is over six months old but I wanted your thoughts.
It was my second psych admission (in this particular ward the psych had made a rule that no one would self harm) pretty hard thing to do when ya in there for dark depression in the first place. On my first day I met a nice girl from the country she was in there for slightly different reasons to me. She had serious emotional problems from past events.
On this first day of meeting her we went out for a smoke. I noticed a cut on her arm and asked did ya do it? She turned her arm over and it was really messed up. I asked her if the nurses had seen it. she tried to pull her sleeve down over it but it was obvious. We walked back to the ward and the psychiatrist saw it and she said she wanted to go home. So the Psych just let her go.
Given she was young and in a very depressed state was this right of the hospital psychiatrist to send her home for breaking the rules. I and other were pretty worried about her.
Thanks for listening.
Peace,
