Lets say that hypothetically i told the doctor some things and that totally within the realm of fiction i got invited to stay at a mental health institution, what should i do? It sounds nice in some ways but its scary also,
Don't like really don't go, the will try to get you to take anti psychotics or hrt or anti depressants or a cocktail of all 3 and if you refuse they will throw you in the closed section in the looney bin and make up some silly reason for it. If you take this step you are literally giving away your autonomy to the state, and I don't know if you realised it yet but that is never a good idea
Also if you are a unlucky fella you will either get raped or assaulted there or both by either patients or staff
>>23969245how am i giving away any autonomy? I'll stay there for around a month and i will be out. How am i signing away anything?
>>23969266I thought the same thing as well when I went to mental hospital They can take your autonomy away by throwing you in the closed section and they only need to make up a reason for that and say you are a danger to yourself or others. Why do you think assault and rape stories come so much from mental hospitals? The doctors in psychiatric medicine have so much power over the patients you cant even fanthom it, its gambling with your luck.
They can also make your stay longer if they want to (the laws on the specific time frame before a psychiatrist from the state has to begutachten you also varies, i really recommend if you really want to go for some unknown reason at least inform yourself about your rights beforehand. And maybe get a lawyer...
Try not to stay long, I heard the food isn't very good.
