@MHR50008 Definitely an unforgettable placement.

[Katrina @Katrina50008]

@MHR50008 The team asked me yesterday what I would take away from this placement. I said: "There is always hope."

@Anita50008 @gaille_50008 @MHR50008 I agree with Anita, but that's what I've been advised to do. Wouldn't mind trying the other way around.

@gaille_50008 @MHR50008 I've yet to see that. Not very common in the community setting, from what I've observed so far.

@MHR50008 Is adjustment disorder in the DSM-5?

[Katrina @Katrina50008]

@MHR50008 Observed gustatory and olfactory hallucinations the other day. Still a query as to whether there was an underlying ABI.

@Viet50008 @MHR50008 I think it takes practice and practice. The method I've used so far is to focus on 2/3 subheadings of the MSE at a time

@MHR50008 Even after a week of it, I think I'll always be amazed by the fragility of the mind.

@MHR50008 First thing that hit me after sitting in my first assessment: this is no longer a video of an actor portraying symptoms.

[Katrina @Katrina50008]

@MHR50008 Had me thinking back to the appalling statistics over time about clients moving from 'mental asylums' to prisons.

@MHR50008 Thought I'd share something lighter for the weekend. John Oliver on mental illness in the US. https://t.co/ssZy916HwJ

@MHR50008 If we were to do this again: maybe focus on what Greg was giving us, rather than what we wanted to get out of him.

[Katrina @Katrina50008]

@Sherome50008 @MHR50008 I agree. It seems like the stigma = mental illness is 'contagious' so it's best to keep this person away from you.

[Katrina @Katrina50008]

Sign me up, @MHR50008, and let's get discussing!
