 Hey what's up you guys, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi, hello, I'm Lydia and if you aren't new here today it's gonna be an interesting video for you. I don't do videos like this that often but I do it when there's a comment that just shows ignorance. So without further ado let's get into the video! The comment reads, can one admit themselves voluntarily because of their panic attacks not worse and they need some time off but with the freedom to leave whenever since you're volunteering. That's not how psych wards work! First of all you can't admit yourself to a psychiatric facility unless you go private. To get a bed at a mental health ward you have to have an assessment. I've a mental health access assessment, cyclase and assessment to determine whether you need hospital or not and psych wards is certainly not a place to take a break or have some time off. You can't just come and go from a psych ward either. That's not how it will leave work. I've been informal in hospital this year and I've been sectioned in hospital this year and let me tell you they're both very very similar. I actually got out more when I was on section. I don't want to say this about the mental health system but I got more leave when I was sectioned than when I was informal. I'm not being rude when I say this but panic attacks aren't a reason to be admitted to a psychiatric facility and the admission to a psych facility often means you're a danger to yourself or other people or your manic or psychotic which again risks your behaviours. It's not a case for time off. If you need time off go to your fucking GP and get a sick note if it's that bad then you can have your time off. Don't get yourself admitted to a psych ward for panic attacks. I've never known anyone get admitted to a psych ward purely for anxiety and panic attacks. Given the might be people out there that haven't if there are I will walk back with my comments but to me it's just offensive to say you want to admit yourself so you can have some time off. I literally begs not to go to a hospital. I got put in the back of a secure van handcuffed and dragged into a ward so it's not something you want. As someone who has been in psych wards a lot over the last five years I want to say that never in any of my admissions has it been to take a break. A lot of the time I've been under section and that means you don't get a choice in the manner. Like the year-long admission I had I was on section two, section three, informal, section three. Hospital isn't fun but it's not to take a break. Please never comment that you want to go into a psych hospital for a break because you will be the next feature on Lydia's channel. Thanks for watching and if you have any words to this person let me know in the comments down below. Peace.
