24680th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7))

i most certainly do not have the right paper for that let alone the patience lmao

and tbh if i did have the patience for that amount of box pleating, i wouldn’t make someone else’s design, i’d use the opportunity to design my own thing lol

Summary

a psych unit/ward is somewhere people are kept when it’s decided they’re a danger to themself or others

the inside of the whole place is made in a way such that you can’t fall very far, there’s nothing sharp, especially that there’s nothing high up that you can tie something around, etc

“danger to themself” is what the majority of patients are admitted for, specifically suicidality, but there are also various disorders you can be admitted for if they’re getting dangerous. i shared a floor with an eating disorder unit, and i was told there were a number of schizophrenic patients on the floor below who needed a different kind of care, although some were able to transfer to my floor. it should go without saying that you can be multiple or all of these things, and that some can often directly cause others.

“intensive psychiatric care” doesn’t necessarily just mean hospitalization though, there are also outpatient programs that people generally transfer to after inpatient. typically as far as i’m aware, patients in an outpatient program are there for suicidality and/or addiction. it’s like normal therapy, just, double digit number of hours per week and with a group.

there are also special treatments that one might be exposed to through these places, like electroconvulsive therapy, ketamine treatment, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. when you’re in any form of intensive psychiatric care, you’re (unsurprisingly) almost always given access to a psychiatrist, so it’s common for them to suggest all kinds of medications and treatments, since it’s best for everyone if you’re out as soon as possible.
