This Episodes go over all of Jeremy's Psychiatric trips, his treatment, and others he encountered. This Episode also includes my questions about his time in along with other stories and experiences.
In the United States efforts to reduce hospital stays and save money have led to overcrowded emergency rooms and people with serious psychological distress not receiving the treatment they need. Experts define serious psychological distress (SPD) as feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and restlessness that are hazardous enough to impair physical well-being.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than 20% of American adults experienced mental illness in 2019. That's one in five adults. Inpatient, 24-hour care comes in a variety of forms. It can exist in a dedicated wing of a hospital, a private hospital, or a public/state hospital. Care is usually provided by psychiatrists, nurses, and therapists.
Mental hospitals can be an effective way to receive treatment but some evidence suggests that intensive outpatient programs (IPOs) can also be helpful.
What's most important is to reach out for help and support if you are struggling because treatment works. I'm living proof! You can get better and you will.
You know the feeling when you walk through a doorway and you’ve forgotten why you’re there? That’s how it is to walk through the hospital door and enter the psychiatric ward for the first time. A little bit surreal.
We hope you enjoy this and consider helping out!
