I work in the mental health field and it’s been a busy week. Ask me anything

r/

My work week was so busy and I did so much without taking a break, as I should start doing . It was also my birthday week. I haven’t been able to relax that much this week because my mind stays too busy even when the work day is done. Ask me anything you want to know and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities.

    As a mental health patient, first, THANK YOU for what you do! My question is: how do you keep your demeanor upbeat and supportive if you aren’t feeling upbeat due to your personal life or worry about clients?

    What is your take on those that think getting mental help is for weak people and being told to pray it away?

    What’s the easiest way to get admitted for a prescription wash/reset? I am a caregiver for a gal that has bi polar, adhd, autism, ptsd, etc etc. and her meds are a mess. She is having panic attacks daily. Most she passes out. She lives by herself & her family is across the country. We tried to get her admitted but the psych Dr just keeps making small changes and it’s been the slowest process. Her family thinks she needs to be admitted.

    As someone who worked in the field and is unsure I can return due to ptsd and vicarious trauma, please do not make this role your life like I did.

    Thank you for all you do to support those of us who struggle with mental health issues. I have heard that if a patient stops one of multiple medications that have been prescribed by their psychiatrist, that is grounds for the doctor to stop their treatment of you. Is that true?
