@gunsgermsnursin In community rehab it's sometimes easier to see person as normal and forget that they have a diagnosis! :)

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@Nate_5000817 @headroom50008 I have same thought. Past experience may cause nurse to be extra sensitive to certain male population.

@vdl5000817 @headroom50008 I mean the parent is in a better position to decide what is best for the child at the time.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@San5000817 @vdl5000817 @hana5000817 @headroom50008 I think of the analogy of a kid wanting to have coke for breakfast and parent says no.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@SR5000817 @headroom50008 Agreed. Also realising how heavily that part of the MHA relies on empathy and insight of professional team.

@headroom50008 Today witnessed 'we will have to put you to involuntary TO if you refuse'. Intense and heartbreaking. Learning lots.

@lrignredom The EP in my placement only started trying a group exercise program last year. She also measures px's performance overtime.

@Jess5000817 @headroom50008 Scary thought!

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@Jess5000817 @headroom50008 I had same thought. How to build good rapport without encouraging unhealthy misunderstanding from patient.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@Francis5000817 @headroom50008 Thanks Francis. What do you mean by 'act accordingly'? Bring them to a hospital? Ring 000 to send CAT team?

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@headroom50008 What do you do when a stranger in public comes up to you looking distressed and expressed suicidal ideation? Hospital?

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@DR5000817 @lrignredom @headroom50008 Actually it affects all of us as citizens of this earth. We all feel the pain for those affected.

@elise5000817 @gunsgermsnursin @headroom50008 I don't have answer as u can see im giving txt book answer but I'm curious. Eg of delusion?

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@gunsgermsnursin @headroom50008 I found it is possible that pts can have fluctuating insight to own condition.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@gunsgermsnursin @elise5000817 @headroom50008 I read somewhere to bring pt to reality so they are aware of delusional tendency/ behaviour

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@Von500817 @nat5000817 In community, students not involved in case management so to us it's slow paced but to staff there's not enough time

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@Stru50008_17 @Sam5000817 students have more time but staff have more experience and they know how to talk to pts and ask specific questions

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@rachel5000817 @dd5000817 @georgia_5000817 @headroom50008 Stigma of MH remains strong in society, that's the truth. Hope for better future.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@rachel5000817 @Em_5000817 I find reading the patients history helps. It paints a clear picture of what they're like when well.

[Constance5000817 @Constanc5000817]

@DR5000817 @headroom50008 I saw the documentary on LMS about this. People can have NPD and still get married so on according to doco.
