@mamatha5000818@MHR5000818 In such case contact triage immediately. Psychiatrist will issue AO, Police & Ambulance will then take client to Hospital for treatment. Social worker liaise with organisation that provide support to homeless client with mental illness @MHR5000818
@clark_5000818@MHR5000818 The team is working on TTO & TO video animation and we were told that these videos will played at 1st point of contact with MH consumers like triage & main reception. We suggested to translate them in other language too to reach max consumers @clark_5000818@MHR5000818
@mikhala5000818 @MHR5000818 @mikhala5000818 @MHR5000818 It is certainly a unusual practice. We did not even had any educational and/or debrief sessions in four weeks placement. In the contrary my personal workplace, we have education sessions every alternate day and debriefs after any critical incident.
@Jyoti_5000818@MHR5000818 Over 11% mom goes on postpartum depression, which is lot. Infants’ stress was measured looking at the change in cortisol in infant's saliva and facial expression @MHR5000818@Jyoti_5000818
Know your rights when you're using a mental health service. Nicely animated work, video inputs from MH Nurse and allied health @MHR5000818

It was too sad to see consultant sending a young consumer to GP based on high serum Vitamin B12 suspecting myelocytic leukemia. The symptoms of high b12 is similar to depression including insomnia, low mood and appetite loss. Hope it is not haematological disorder @MHR5000818
@Natalie_5000818 @MHR5000818 Reports says only 44% of consumer adhere with medication upto 6 months. The recovery will take even longer to those consumers and cost to government is another burden. To some extent depot plays vital role in reducing relapse and hospitalization @MHR5000818 @Natalie_5000818
@Maddie5000818@MHR5000818@Maddie5000818 That is why I believe home visits plays into role where the clinicians gets chance to carry out MMSE and Risk assessment on regular basis to get into the depth of the issue by talking to everyone in the family and to diagnose the illness correctly.
During assessment one of the consumer said "Smoking is protective factor from killing herself." I never knew that drug can be a protective factor. Proves that everyone is different. @MHR5000818
@Jagmeet5000818@MHR5000818@Jagmeet5000818@MHR5000818 The only adverse effect was consumer's mental state deteriorated over this period of time. The client moved to numerous place over this period of time, client following up with GP not MH specialist until referral made to triage.
@Jyoti_5000818@MHR5000818@Jyoti_5000818@MHR5000818 In MH setting due to non adherence of medication the relapse rate of illness is too high. After right medication and right therapeutic intervention consumer's condition will improve slowly but totally different to acute medical or surgical patients.
@Ghania_5000818@Ghania_5000818@MHR5000818 Very informative tipster good mental health. There is a saying that “there is no health without mental health.” Thus, to improve the overall health Physical, Mental and Social well being need to be considered.
@Kritina5000818@MHR5000818@Kritina5000818@MHR5000818 Consumer was on some second generation antipsychotic medication which is not that commonly used for that particular illness. No other side effects apart from deterioration in Mental state until someone made a call to triage. Very interesting
@Jyoti_5000818@MHR5000818@MHR5000818@Jyoti_5000818 The consumer's mental illness gradually deteriorated after being discharged from Crisis team. Interestingly consumer did not followed up with his GP and moved numerous times from one place to another until someone made a call to MH triage.
@nilmini_5000818 @MHR5000818@MHR5000818 @nilmini_5000818 GPs are very good no doubt but they have limited time for diagnosis of illness which could be misdiagnosed. Thus, consumer should seek for psychiatrist referral in order to diagnose illness correctly.
@upeksha5000818 @MHR5000818@MHR5000818 @upeksha5000818 @nilmini_5000818 It is sometimes good not to change feeling or thoughts but to change the way one react in three steps Accept, Choose and Take action. The video in the link explains better
