Many people, especially modern teenagers, are interested in how to become psychotic. In fact, this question cannot be called correct. The point is that you cannot deliberately become a psycho only if you deliberately expose nervous system some special influences. It is better to understand for what reasons people can become crazy, for personal safety and prevention. Some, for some unknown reason, want to get into It is hard to believe, but for this it is not at all necessary to become mentally unhealthy people. It is enough just to contact these institutions for help in certain cases. About them a little later. First, you need to understand how to become crazy and why people go crazy at all.
Heredity
The human psyche is a huge mystery, which doctors still cannot fully understand. The thing is that the nerve endings in the brain are influenced by everything that happens around people. And the answer to the question of how to become (or to expose your persona as a psycho) is purely individual.
Many doctors point out that the studied process depends on heredity. If someone in the family had psychos or people with diseases of the nervous system, it is possible that the disease will be transmitted. Sometimes it goes from generation to generation, in some cases - every other time. Therefore, heredity should be carefully studied. Maybe you don't have to think about how to become crazy. A disease of the nervous system will itself take over the mind when the time comes.
Strong shock
The nervous system is the main component of human behavior. The more stable it is, the less likely it is to go crazy. This fact is confirmed by doctors. How do people get crazy? Fears, panic attacks and even severe emotional shock can be to blame. Usually it should have a negative connotation.
Third, you need to come up with a true story about what happened. This technique works especially well with playing a split personality. If a person has decided to play himself as a psycho-fool, then you can simply speak in incoherent sentences.
It's all. Once an action plan has been developed, decisive action can be taken. For example, to pounce on someone close to you with cries of "Go away, Satan!", After 2 minutes walk and wonder why everyone looks sideways, as if nothing happened. Any inappropriate behavior that will be repeated several times will sooner or later lead to a psychiatric hospital.
Depression
How to become a psycho at home? You don't always have to play or expose yourself to real head injuries. Modern psychologists point out that depression can make even a healthy person a psycho.
Therefore, we can advise you to "drive" yourself into depression. Being in such a state for a long time will negatively affect the nervous system. And in this situation, you can go to a psychiatric hospital.
Adolescents are most often sent to such institutions for suicidal tendencies. By the way, this is one of the options for exposing your personality as mentally unhealthy. Many advise writing to declare a desire to die, as well as cutting your hands with a razor (even shallow cuts will work). And very soon the people around will begin to consider the person a psycho
Childbirth
It's hard to imagine, but childbirth is also capable of inflicting a blow on the human psyche. There is such a concept as it is found in both men and women. Without treatment for this ailment, in some cases, you can go crazy, and then end up in a mental hospital.
Therefore, you should take into account: childbirth and hormonal imbalance contribute to the development of neurological problems that lead to inappropriate behavior. This process is a strong emotional stress and stress for the body. No one knows how childbirth will affect a woman's behavior.
It is now clear how people become mentally ill. More often than not, you can't deliberately go crazy. Just act crazy. All changes in the brain occur uncontrollably. In case of any emotional upheaval, it is better to consult a doctor - they will help you not to bring yourself to depression and madness.
She confessed to the camera: “Do you think it's easy to put a healthy person in the hospital? It's not easy, ”says Sergei Zhorin, a lawyer for Anna Pavlenkova, whom her mother forcibly put in a psychiatric hospital.
Anna Pavlenkova and her young man Anton Butyrin are the heroes of a love-psychiatric drama that the whole country watched. On February 12, the media reported: an attack was made on the Moscow mental hospital No. 6. The attackers kidnapped patient Anna Pavlenkova, shot at the guards and sprayed tear gas.
It soon became clear: the bride was kidnapped by Anton Butyrin and his friends. The attackers were put on the wanted list, but two days later they themselves went to the police and said that the girl was forcibly sent to the hospital by her mother. And there seemed to be no attack.
During the opening hours, everything was simply open. The checkpoint has two doors and a revolving turnstile. There, everything is omitted, open, and the guards are not interested in who came to whom. We just ran away without hindrance, - Anton "RR" expounds his version of events. As a result, the case was closed, and the lawyer of the guy and the girl is preparing another lawsuit - about illegal placement in a psychiatric hospital.
But it will be very difficult to prove its illegality.
Anna herself says:
I lived for seven years with a man whom my family loved very much. But I didn’t love him, and we parted. My family didn't like it. And my new chosen one - anyone - was obviously unpleasant to them. My mother has convinced me many times that this is not love, that there is nothing to love this person for. She constantly pounced on him, drove me to hysterics.
The mother and the doctors have their own argument: Anna signed a voluntary consent to treatment, no one kept her in the hospital, she could leave at any time.
They told me: they will put you down anyway. There will still be a trial, and they will put you in anyway. There were two orderlies standing over me. I got scared and signed a consent for voluntary treatment, - says the girl. She was not allowed to apply for discharge either, she said.
Voluntary-compulsory
Voluntary consent, somehow signed by a person, is far from the only instrument for keeping in a psychiatric hospital.
We are sitting in the office of Evgeny Arkhipov, chairman of the Russian Bar Association for Human Rights. He is often asked to help solve problems with the illegal placement of people in psychiatric hospitals. I read aloud the law "On psychiatric care and guarantees of citizens' rights during its provision."
The procedure for hospitalization is de jure as follows. A person can write a voluntary consent to treatment. And if he changes his mind, write a statement about the discharge, and it should be released. Compulsory hospitalization is more complicated. One of two reasons is needed here: first, a person poses an immediate danger to himself or others; second, he is incapacitated and could be seriously injured without psychiatric help. In this case, the doctor has the right to hospitalize him without his consent. Then he has 48 hours for a medical examination, which should show whether the diagnosis was confirmed or not. If it is confirmed and the person needs to be left in the hospital, the doctor has another 24 hours to send the documents to court. On their basis, the judge must make a decision within five days.
Everything seems to be legal and logical, - says Evgeny Arkhipov. “But in practice, all this can turn into a nightmare. Let's start by calling a doctor. Relatives can apply for hospitalization. And the doctor will most likely believe them.
On what grounds?
A team arrives, sees that the person is inadequate. Formally, the medical team must make sure whether the person is adequate or not. But it is clear that in the case of corruption, everything can be done with one statement.
Psychiatrist for the sake of children
“On the morning of the hospitalization, I came to the restaurant“ Aragvi ”to see a friend - the director of the restaurant. In his words, she behaved “extremely agitated and ridiculous”: she broke dishes in the hall, shouted, then laughed, then cried, pounced on visitors, hid in a corner of the hall, grabbed a knife, threatened the director ”- this act of psychiatric examination of Anna Astanina was drawn up December 4, 2008 by doctors of the psychiatric hospital No. 6 of St. Petersburg.
The statement, drawn up from the words of others, seems to unequivocally show that the person is clearly dangerous. But two weeks later, Anna was released without specifying either the diagnosis or the reasons for such strange behavior in the discharge. And the doctors answered the questions of relatives simply: “Astana no longer needs treatment”.
Don't you admit that the director of the restaurant himself was interested in this? - I ask Anna.
May be. Only the next morning after hospitalization, my ex-husband came to court with a nanny and testified that I had been ill for eight years. And my friends and relatives, who were looking for me in horror, did not say anything where I was and what, - she replies.
According to Anna, she then “shared” the children with her ex-husband, a major banker, at that time the deputy board of Vneshtorgbank. They have two children in their family - son Fedor (then he was 11 years old) and daughter Maria (4 years old).
This story also thundered throughout the country, but since the opposite side avoids commenting, it is difficult to judge who the victim is. In 2006, the couple separated. The son stayed with the father, the daughter with the mother.
Former friends of the family said that Anna's husband, Vadim Levin, immediately after the divorce, announced that he would take the children, but he was not able to communicate with his wife, as he had undergone a serious operation and this communication would damage his health. The intermediary between the ex-spouses was Shota Boterashvili, the founder of VTB-Development and the former director of the Aragvi restaurant - since then he has been on Interpol's wanted lists and has become a defendant in one of Alexei Navalny's investigations.
On December 4, 2008 - on the day when the psychiatric examination report was drawn up - Shota had to give Astanina a certain amount of money to support Masha. Anna came for them from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
The restaurant was closed. The officers attacked me, forcibly gave me vodka, loaded me into an ambulance and sent me to the hospital. Moreover, the accompanying documentation indicates that I had bruises on my neck and arms. But this did not interest anyone categorically, she says.
In early 2009, immediately after the incident with the hospital, Vadim Levin filed a lawsuit to determine the place of residence for the children with him. The main argument: "We do not let her see the children now, because she is inadequate."
The court then ruled: the children stay with their father, and the mother can see them once every two weeks on weekends and a month in summer during vacation. Now Vadim Levin lives in London, and this makes it difficult for the mother to meet the children.
This decision cannot be fulfilled in any way, we even turned to the bailiff service. As a result, I see children about once every six months for only a few hours, when I manage to agree. In the summer, they are always on the road, either in France or in Switzerland, - says Anna more and more harshly and offended.
Practical limitations
In theory, a forensic psychiatric commission, which meets on each specific case, should serve as a barrier to corruption during hospitalization.
And who does it consist of? - I ask Evgeny Arkhipov.
It all depends on the region. As a rule, it is formed at psychiatric dispensaries. It happens that it includes doctors from several dispensaries and hospitals.
In the case of Anna Astanina, forensic psychiatric experts were heard in court the very next day. Vadim Levin was also summoned. In his only interview, he said: “I was called as an ex-husband to ask some questions. But I didn't make any conclusions. The decision is made by a medical commission. I expressed a specific opinion about her behavior, as I know, a person who is not in his right mind. "
When the court decides whether to hospitalize a person or not, the defense side seems to have the right to provide the results of an independent examination, but for this, the patient must be taken to the experts. But the law does not indicate how a person who is already in a mental hospital can be taken from there for a comprehensive examination in another institution. Therefore, it is almost impossible to prove something at the first court session. The proceedings drag on for years, and the illegality of hospitalization is established only in exceptional cases. Astanina managed to undergo an independent examination at the Serbsky Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry and at the Research Institute of Psychiatry of Roszdrav only after she was already released. But this did not help either: the court added the results of the examination to the case, but still believed the doctors from the mental hospital.
According to Evgeny Arkhipov, it is as easy as shelling pears to agree with the forensic psychiatric commission on the necessary conclusion.
People who are employed in the field of psychiatry often have private practice. And private practice is associated with certain financial investments. You know who is on the commission, supposedly make an appointment with one of its members and deposit money, ”he says about the most popular mechanism.
It is not expensive at all. I drive into an Internet search engine the query "how to put a person in a psychiatric hospital." A bunch of links to forums with a discussion of this topic comes out.
Very often people really worry about the health of their loved ones. Slightly less often they write directly: "I got a Gothic neighbor, reads curses from her Kabbalah." Or: “Help my grandmother to be hospitalized. There is no more strength. " The answers are appropriate: "Do you understand what you are doing?" There is also a discussion that you cannot legally put a person down by force. And illegally - the prices are different: some say 20,000 rubles, some - 500 bucks, some - 900 euros. At the same rate, judging by the entries on the forum, "patient care" costs. For this money, he is guaranteed not to be tortured, beaten and even offended.
The numbers speak
According to the World Health Organization, up to 15 million people in Russia suffer from mental disorders. The most common illness is depression. 1.5 million people are registered, another 2 million are formally healthy, but they have to seek advice. Nobody knows how many cases of illegal placement of people in psychiatric hospitals. The Human Rights Bar Association estimates that domestic violence accounts for up to 20-25% of cases of illegal hospitalization.
Here are a few more episodes from the practice of law. 50-year-old Lydia Balakireva was placed in a psychiatric hospital three times, and her daughter then settled in her apartment in the center of Moscow. The man sent his own daughter to a mental hospital to take revenge on his ex-wife. In St. Petersburg, the daughter called psychiatrists to her elderly mother, Zoya Orlova, after learning that she wanted to sell her half of the apartment.
Indeed, there are not so many such messages - compared to the news about cases when psychiatrists were not a tool of showdowns, but their participants: as part of gangs involved in taking away apartments. But such fraudsters regularly end up in the dock, but those who only “help” their relatives - never. At least for the last ten years.
Edge law
Today, under the current law on psychiatric care, two judges, together with secretaries and a district psychiatrist, organized the weaning of apartments and are now while away the time in the zone, says Mikhail Vinogradov, forensic psychiatrist, doctor of medical sciences, ex-head of the Center for Special Research of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. - The presence of this law did not prevent them.
Mikhail advocates a return to the Soviet way of regulating the relationship between the healthy and the mentally ill. The key proposal is to remove such cases from judicial consideration altogether:
The courts are already choking. We have 17 psychiatric hospitals in Moscow. Average filling - from four to six thousand people. There is no need to deceive yourself: it is still unrealistic to conduct a serious investigation in each case.
According to Vinogradov, in order to make a decision, a person needs to be hospitalized or a council of doctors assembled. I argue with him: now doctors can also come to court and say that a person is dangerous.
And you prove to the judge that this person can kill someone. He might not kill, ”Mikhail insists.
It is clear that leaving the real sick in the wild is dangerous for society. Evgeny Arkhipov agrees with this. The lawyer says that apparently mentally ill people periodically turn to him:
A woman came to us, she works in the police. Said, "I am being persecuted by my leadership." Fifteen minutes later, she returns and demands that we tear out the sheet with the registration of her data. Then he pretends that he is calling his friends from the police, who will allegedly come to us and break all the furniture. What's the matter? They began to find out: it turned out that her child was ill, and it seemed to her that the authorities were to blame for this. And there are many such people.
And according to Arkhipov, it is necessary to revise the list of diseases and rethink for what diagnosis a person should be hospitalized, and for what not. Introduce an ombudsman for psychiatric patients who would have access to medical secrecy and could enter all hospitals. Swap frames. Completely. How the police in Georgia was reformed - from scratch and again.
I don't want to argue anymore. This seems to be what is called mental health.
Parishioners protected
In family squabbles with the involvement of a psychiatrist, the most a common person, which is full of friends and acquaintances. It is they who most often become the kind of ombudsmen of an illegally hospitalized person. Anna Pavlenkova's defender was her fiancé, Anna Astanina's sister, Inna from the Moscow region, in the fight for her daughter, raised the prosecutor's office and the guardianship authorities. Of course, it is more difficult for lonely people who have encountered ill-wishing relatives. Lydia Balakireva was rescued from the psychiatric hospital by volunteers who miraculously noticed her. And Zoya Orlova is the rector of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Church in St. Petersburg, where she goes to pray.
Behind Father Alexander's shoulders is the service in the church at the SIZO "Kresty". However, you cannot say from him that he spent many years "in captivity." He smiles a lot, often jokes. The story of Zoya Orlova is told, rather, as an instructive parable. 50 year old daughter and 80 year old mother. They live in eternal conflicts. Mother decided to leave, having sold her half of the apartment. The daughter stabbed the door with a knife, called psychiatrists, said that it was the mother who wanted to kill her, and the mother was taken away.
The parishioners of the temple found out about this, they told Father Alexander. And he led the fight for the parishioner: they all went to courts together, wrote statements, visited in the hospital. Three months later, Zoya Orlova was released, but none of the courts proved that the doctors were guilty of illegal hospitalization.
The main thing is that they did not turn it into a vegetable, ”the priest sums up. Now Zoya Orlova still lives with her daughter. They have one apartment, but they have a separate household, they do not communicate. Zoya Ivanovna herself no longer wants to move: where is she at her age.
And nothing prevents the daughter from stabbing the door again with a knife and calling the orderlies. And Father Alexander will have to take on the role of the Ombudsman again. So far, even he has the only method of protection - publicity.

We began to talk more about diseases and mental characteristics, not least thanks to social networks - after all, it is often easier to talk about depression or anxiety in virtual audiences. True, the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing in a psychiatric hospital is still associated with many fears and prejudices - all the more important it is to raise this topic and talk about the experience of such treatment. The AST publishing house publishes the book “Mental disorders and the heads that inhabit them” by Ksenia Ivanenko, the author of the telegram channel about mental illness and personal experience of treatment. We publish an excerpt from it.
. . .
Nowhere have I met such tolerance and mutual assistance as in a psychiatric hospital. How often do you see a tattooed 16-year-old atheist and a 40-year-old ex-novice discussing with interest the painting on the wall? How does an elderly woman from Tatarstan help a young girl to put a blanket in a duvet cover? A common way of life brings people closer together, erasing differences and equalizing everyone. In the morning Madina does namaz, calls Christina for breakfast, they both pray to their gods before eating and share the meal. Next to them, the vegetarian Liza gives her cutlet to Masha. 14-year-old Anya sits at a table by the window and shares a chocolate bar that her mother brought her yesterday. Vera Mikhailovna, 55, accepts the sweet with gratitude - no one has stopped by for a long time.
No one really cares about whether you believe in God or not. Your musical tastes can lead to lively conversation, but not censure. No one distinguishes each other by skin color or judges if you are a former drug addict or current transgender. Everyone wants to get rid of the pain. Therefore, here everyone is trying to support each other and not lose their sense of humor.
When you find yourself in a psychiatric hospital, your age ceases to play any role.
Twenty and forty years old immediately switch to "you". They listen not to the elders, but to the more adequate ones. If a 45-year-old woman, forgetting herself, tries to smoke in the wrong place, then she is calmly pulled by a gloomy-looking teenager, and she obeys. Here adults again become small, under the yoke of the disease, losing their influence, which has been accumulating over the years. And on the shoulders of young people, a new, adult responsibility often falls.
In no other place have I seen such mutual assistance as in psychiatric hospitals. Never met with such compassion and tact
It sounds strange, but I would advise almost every person to go to a psychiatric clinic for at least ten days. Without drugs and procedures, just plunge into this atmosphere. Not to see enough horror, but to learn patience and understanding.
In no other place have I seen such mutual assistance as in psychiatric hospitals. I have never met with such compassion and tact. There are no happy people here, everyone has wagons of pain and anxiety behind them. With each person, you need to start a conversation very carefully and kindly, so as not to inadvertently pick out a wound the size of a hippopotamus. One was raped, the other was beaten, the third cannot stop cutting herself, the fourth was deprived of her virginity at preschool age.
Everyone here treats each other with delicate indulgence. Many patients cannot speak adequately, their speech is slurred and, at first glance, meaningless. Everyone here with their own army of cockroaches in their heads and a legion of skeletons in the closet. No one here jokes or reproaches such people, but on the contrary, everyone tries to talk and help - because everyone here is a “such” person himself.
Each of us needs support here, everyone enters into the position of another, shares cigarettes and treats them to sweets. If a person wants to talk, they will not refuse him, if he suddenly became anxious, they will not get it, but they will understand and leave him alone if this is what he lacks.
But the mental hospital is not a magical place where all people suddenly become polite and good-natured.
Better to be in a mental hospital sooner rather than later. You should not take it to extremes and get into situations when the psychiatric hospital itself leaves for you
During the first days, patients walk around the hospital completely lost, and how pleasant it is to observe when even adults, after some time, find themselves company. I have made close friends with several girls from the department, and we keep in touch even after discharge.
Most of the conversations were carried out in the smoking room, where we squatted around a bucket for butts and spent many hours a day. When we got to know each other better, the two girls asked to be transferred to one suite, designed for two people. There was a separate TV in their room, we often gathered there with the whole company, watched the 2x2 channel, shared stories, played board games or charades.
. . .
Almost all the girls with whom I managed to communicate in the hospital, like me, had the experience of repeated stay in various psychiatric clinics. We unanimously agreed that the hospitals you come to on your own are strikingly different from the places where you are forcibly brought after attempted suicide or self-harm. This sad experience allowed us to learn one very important lesson: it is better to be in a mental hospital sooner rather than later. You should not take it to extremes and get into a situation when the psychiatric hospital itself leaves for you. Deciding to commit suicide and realizing that you have nothing to lose<...> you can try to go to the hospital. Isn't it likely to get worse? Moreover, you can choose a medical institution on your own, having read the recommendations and reviews, but if you were already brought to the hospital by force, then there is no need to choose. Most likely, you will be locked up in the psychosomatic department of an ordinary hospital, where doctors, unfortunately, usually do not have the goal of saving you from a mental disorder or somehow normalizing your mental state. Most of all, being in such places resembles overexposure, and after such an experience, a misconception about psychiatry may develop.
Russian psychiatry is still only moving away from the Soviet era, and there is still a high probability of encountering the unprofessionalism of doctors and the unsuitability of medical institutions. That is why you should be especially careful when choosing a hospital. Every year the number of conscientious qualified specialists is growing and the situation with receiving timely high-quality psychiatric care is improving. Faced with an inadequate doctor, one should not judge by him the state of all science in the country. If you do not like the specialist or the conditions of the hospital, change them, there is an alternative. Do not be afraid of treatment, psychiatrists and mental hospitals. There are places where you can be helped.
. . .
In general, leisure in a psychiatric hospital looks like a fascinating quest. First, you need to obey absurd rules (such as a forced hang-up, pulling out laces and surrendering all means of communication), then you remember who is the villain and who needs to smile. You even have a goal: to move from an acute ward to a regular one, and then a suite. This is done in stages: from the acute ward # 1, after a week, they may (or may not) be transferred to # 2, from there to # 3. But only if you behave yourself, eat all the porridge and do not scream at night from hallucinations. Otherwise, you have to go through this level again. When you move to the next level, new opportunities open up for you: round-the-clock telephone, walks, art therapy, physical therapy classes, etc. There are six levels in total, and the final boss is in the suite.
I'm still in the first.
You live in a strict ward from the end of a quiet hour to lights out. It was at this time that they were released from the cell (or the cabin, as we jokingly called the chambers) and allowed to use the telephone. Wi-Fi was, there was no password for it. The asylum was full of its own absurd rules, which mainly came from nurses. I was once told that most of the nurses are former patients who stayed too long in the hospital. Apparently, so as not to be kicked out, they mimicked, well, or evolved into personnel. But it was they, and not the doctors, who completely controlled the patients, it was they who checked our bedside tables while we were away, they stole our hidden sweets and expensive personal hygiene products, they were with us day and night and made sure that we did not go beyond the invisible framework. They also rule over time.
I was once told that most of the nurses are former patients who stayed too long in the hospital. Looks like they didn't get kicked out, they mimicked
In fact, the quiet hour lasted from 13:30 to 16:10 daily. During this time, the entire ward is locked with a key without a single opportunity to leave. To guess that the quiet hour is drawing to a close is possible only by the deepening twilight outside the window and by the biological clock, for all the others have been taken away, and the phones have not yet been issued.
The real signal for wakefulness is the turning on of the light in the corridor, but this can happen at 16:15 instead of 16:00 - just as the nurse wants. The cherished switch shines with polished plastic over their table. It always seemed to us that the nurses experienced a kind of high from the time stolen from us. After the lights are turned on, we are still waiting. We are waiting for when they finally open us, and we look through the glass of the door. Shuffling psychos come with the light, they measure the corridor with their steps and look into our closed room. It's so interesting how we are here, the most acute, the most severe patients. Suddenly we gnaw our veins and write beautiful poems in blood on the walls.
Once we were not opened for a long time: the patients outside the door managed to comb the corridor a dozen times, and we stuck to the door, ready to break off at any second
and jump into conditional freedom. You can't leave the floor anyway. Where to get out of your ward is also unclear. Nowhere to go. But we still fall out of the room, take a couple of steps along the corridor, and occasionally even reach the recreation area with a TV. And inevitably we go back and lie down. But still this watch open doors very important - you need to know that you have your rights. Even when they, in fact, do not exist. Like the passports, which were prudently taken away, apparently to make it harder for the patient to escape.
Hospitalization in a psychiatric clinic and its conditions differ depending on whether it is an acute or chronic stage of the disease.
Acute and chronic stages
The chronic stage lasts for weeks and months. It can be dementia, chronic delusional disorder, depression. If the patient does not take any actions that would be dangerous for himself or for those around him, the question of hospitalization is raised only for social reasons: the person is helpless, he has no loved ones who could take care of him.
The main thing that is necessary for hospitalization in this case is a referral from a doctor. No other doctor can give such a direction.
In the presence of an acute stage, you can be hospitalized and. The patient's relatives can call an ambulance or bring the person to the clinic on their own. This must be a clinic to which the person belongs at the place indicated in the passport, and the patient's passport must be presented.
Voluntary and compulsory hospitalization
Contrary to popular misconception, mentally ill people do not always resist hospitalization. Even if a person does not adequately perceive reality, he can admit that to him. True, such a patient does not admit that he feels bad because of his illness - the whole point is in the special services pursuing him, cosmic rays etc. - but he can agree to hospitalization. “I'm tired of all this,” patients usually say. Psychiatrists are aware of cases when patients with exacerbations themselves asked to be hospitalized. These people remembered that during the previous exacerbation they felt better after the course of treatment in the hospital.
In any case, even if the patient was brought to the clinic by an ambulance team, doctors are obliged to find out whether he agrees to hospitalization or not. If the patient does not give consent, under certain circumstances he may be hospitalized forcibly.
Hospitalization without the patient's consent is possible if his behavior directly poses a danger to himself or to others. Symptoms of an acute disorder should be identified by an admission doctor on examination. If at the time of examination no such symptoms have been identified, then for the forcible placement of a person in a clinic, his psychiatric examination and a court decision will be required.
The reason for the refusal of hospitalization is the presence of a somatic disease or injury in the patient: pneumonia, indigestion, fracture, etc.
Children's rest can be brightened up with various activities, reading books, walking, needlework
Bring before madness
A terrible and stupid word - "psychiatric hospital". To admit that I ended up in a psychiatric hospital is as embarrassing as in a venereal disease clinic. But is a disease of the nervous system something shameful? Yes, because a great many stupid myths and anecdotes are associated with psychiatric diseases. The inmate of the psychiatric hospital behaves strangely, inadequately. He is "crazy", "fool", "crazy". But this disease is a tragedy, often caused by parents.
I happened to be a patient in a psychiatric hospital, but I'm not at all ashamed of that. Because I got there with a diagnosis of fatigue neurosis, that is, I overstrained the nervous system so much that it was necessary to treat it. But also because this is one of the most poignant impressions in my life, because being in a ward with barred windows has become one of my strongest life lessons. I have learned as much about the "other" life as I could not anywhere else. For example, I realized that the "psychiatric hospital" is not only a refuge for alcoholics, perverts and drug addicts.
The mental hospital is called the house of sorrow - a surprisingly accurate definition. I still remember many of my unfortunate neighbors. I'll tell you just one thing.
Kostya was a child prodigy, and the only child in the family. Both the mother and the father doted on him, especially since the boy had perfect pitch and generally excellent abilities. He grasped everything on the fly, read a lot and varied, and it was not necessary to force him to study. His father was a teacher of a music school, so the future of five-year-old Kostya, one might say, had no options. In addition to the usual school, the kid studied at the music school in two specialties - violin and piano. At seven years old, the baby's working day lasted 12 hours, and he did not even have time for a night's sleep.
In the second grade, he became lethargic, indifferent, began to study worse, but the father saw his son as the future Paganini and believed that his son was corroded by "just laziness." Once, as a punishment, the father locked the boy in the bathroom, and he lost consciousness. Doctors prescribed complete rest for the child.
For almost two months, an eight-year-old boy could only lie on the couch and play. He played like this: he barked, imitating a puppy. When the baby recovered, the mother convinced the father to free his son at least from the violin: at the sight of the instrument, Kostya began to cry. The father agreed, but forbade his son to do anything other than music. The father used to force the boy to sit at the piano. The matter ended with the fact that, in spite of everything, Kostya flatly refused to continue studying music.
However, it did not end. At the age of 17, Kostya was sent for examination to psychiatrists: he had been registered with the police for a long time, getting into various unpleasant stories in the company of children who were much younger than him. Experts concluded: the boy was deprived of childhood, the father suppressed the initiative and independence of the boy so much that he, making up for lost time, became completely weak-willed. And that is why he obeyed even his younger comrades, easily fell under the bad influence of those with whom he played. The young man's reactions were slow, no will. Typical, in the expression of peers, "brake". With the help of a complex set of exercises, Kostya was "restored" for a long time, then he was sent to a sanatorium. I don't know anything else about him.
This case is extreme, one might say, clinical. But in him, as in any extreme, many will be able to find familiar features of their own behavior. The cases are probably not so acute, but therefore no less painful for the child.
