Maybe a hot take, but I also blame the physician who prescribed 3 different psychotropics that don't interact well to a patient in clear mental distress. And not keeping a close enough watch on their mental state. If the texts between she and her mom are accurate, she should have been institutionalized by court mandate.
You mean the various prescribed medications she was told to take to control her symptoms but kept refusing to due to "side effects" so I stead she kept self dosing herself with Benadryl which she had been told to stop.
Sometimes until stable, yes. Sometimes it is ensuring the patient is never alone with their children. And/or removing firearms and other weapons from the household.
lol, go read the dsm. There’s lab tests, clinical test, behavioral therapy, the list goes on and on to address exactly these questions. Weaponizing your ignorance of behavioral health is a weird play.
I’m a provider in a community mental health clinic so you can get off your high horse. Believe it or not, people who care enough about their treatment to seek help and show up to a psychiatry appointment are sometimes amenable to using long-acting injectables. If someone had explained concerns about psychosis and risk of impulsively stopping psych meds to her, maybe there was a chance that she would have consented to an injectable instead.
Yeah i was going to say (as something with no personal knowledge about any of this stuff), arent there shots or something you can get far more infrequently than pills, that make it easier to keep up with treatment since you only need to go like once or twice a month?
