    When psychological treatment fails, it's time to take a look at the spiritual side of things. There are malevolent spiritual beings out there that are seeking to take advantage of vulnerable people. Chemical imbalances and physical weaknesses are often targeted. I pray that Darren can find the healing he needs. God bless his half-sister for caring so much. I can tell she is distraught about him.

    My Great Grandmother was institutionalized in the early nineteenhundreds in Texas. The old saying was. If she wasn't crazy going in, she was crazy coming out. It broke my heart listening to my Grandmother talk about her. Rough life she lived.

      Love your judgment of my brother. What you don't know is that the hospital had him on over 9 psych meds when he was sent to jail. He wasn't violent when he arrived there. I am his legal guardian and filed TONS of complaints and grievances when I saw him become more ill and started to become aggressive under their care. So no jail is not where anyone with a SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS BELONGS! Also that staff member had been taunting him calling him an idiot and a retard for MONTHS and they did NOTHING to protect him or stop that staff from mistreating him. There is so much more that lead us to this. He didn't just wake up one day and decide to hit someone.

    People don't "catch" charges. He needs to be where he is snd notice those two teardrops... he didn't get those at ASH... If you are there it is because you are a threat to the community. I worked the old hospital, from Cholla, to Juniper units 1-5, Wick Units 1-5, Granada medical dependant unit (old TB unit), and even the Adolescent Treatment Unit. If you assault staff you should get charged and convicted. I got mad stories from the old hospital.

Those two tear drops he got when he was homeless for 10 years on the streets and was in a delusional/psychotic state...another homeless person gave them to him and he doesn't even remember getting them. Perhaps look at how the hospital has changed and become worse since you worked there.

    Mercy care provides housing to smi clients and he get counseling, case manager anything he needs for job search. But he should be checked at as far as medication. I would recommend Darren to go to banner behavioral health in Scottsdale

    Blaming the facility isn't the answer either. He was violent before he went into that facility. If he wasn't in that facility who knows how many people he could have hurt.

    Darren cannot live in the community. He was homeless.That's not living in the community.

    Does ASH no longer have the forensic unit?

    • @lwj8043
      @lwj8043 4 месяца назад +1

      ASH still has the 'forensic' unit but not like when I worked the Wick 2 RTC Unit. In the old days the Wick units were forensic and the Juniper units were the civil units until they built the new hospital and razed the majority of the old hospital.
