@MHStudent2 @headroom50008 Me too! I was already keen on MH nursing, but after this placement I'm almost certain this is what I want to do!

@Sam5000817 @shane50008 @gunsgermsnursin @headroom50008 yep, some professionals do seem to have trouble sympathising with clients with BPD

[Freya @freya5000817]

@lrignredom @headroom50008 in my understanding this can happen, but it depends on the specific patient & their individual risk assessment

[Freya @freya5000817]

@headroom50008 finding it really hard to summarise my consumer's situation succinctly in the PEPAE - mental health stories are so complex!

[Freya @freya5000817]

@Aims50008 @headroom50008 Some clinicians still stick to this approach despite such psychosis; it can make the process of recovery very slow

[Freya @freya5000817]

@headroom50008 Any tips on finding a clear line between "friend" and "mental health professional"? It seems to become very blurry at times

[Freya @freya5000817]

@Christina500082 @headroom50008 I agree - it really highlights the subjectivity inherent in mental illness

[Freya @freya5000817]

@headroom50008 a helpful video on modern ECT - apparently the simulated patient's "seizures" look quite realistic https://t.co/6INxofZc7W

[Freya @freya5000817]

@headroom50008 keep in mind: apparently staff avoid wearing stethoscopes on mental health wards as they're an easy way to choke someone

@headroom50008 I'm sure "I thought I was going to die" was a common thought in the CBD today, I wonder how much resulting trauma there'll be
