you do lose all your rights, they just put in some pretty words to make it sound like you have a say in the matter. Sectioning is hell on earth. They can't put the effort in the help you recover outside 'looney prison', so they lock you up instead.
i have seen mental illness to the complete destruction of a loved ones life ...very sad ......they gave her invaga...depicote... and it almost killed her...she still gets a shot every month...but she seems to be in touch with reality now....in fact quit normal thank God ....she stayed in the hospital for a couple of months..very sad to see your loved one in a delusional state of mind....Thank you for the info....
As one who has been sectioned around fifty or more times over the last forty years, l have only one thing to say, stop creating mental illness in healthy people by prescribing them psychotropic drugs, which create and exacerbate the problems in the first place, but l do think that people who are genuinely unwell and a danger in some way need to go to a safe place for a while, but unfortunately what passes now as hospitals are so horrible with unfriendly staff who don't care,that it becomes a traumatic and tortuous event for the patient.
You do lose all your rights, its that simple. also getting information about sectio ing after you're locked away and not before, is barbaric and unnecessary trauma at the very best, talk about keeping someone uninformed. Anyone who has anyone else sectioned should be ashamed of themself and placed under the same conditions as they are subjecting others too.
@@MindMentalHealthCharity the whole hospital was a joke. Felt like they're were just playing with my head. I still feel skeptical of how I was on the ward.
Hi Charlie It might be possible for you to be allowed out, but we don’t know enough about your situation to be able to know for sure. This FAQ may be helpful to you, there is some information about being an informal patient under 16 > bit.ly/2MaLYJI You could also try talking to one of the healthcare professionals on the ward about the posters you've seen, and they might be able to give you some more information too. Take care, Cora at Mind
I'm under 16 and have alot of shit going on my school had recently found out about my self harming and they already know about my anxiety hypervigalince and depression and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Would or could I be sectioned for self harming and suicidal thoughts and tendancies without my parents consent?

At times it does more harm and your at the mercy of dangerous people. Especially misdiagnosed.

Aimée Flaherty this gal gets it. Imagine losing an arm and being placed in prison for it.
Yeah she has a point at least.

Hi Martin, it sounds like you had a really bad experience, which I am so sorry to hear. Do you like you're in a better situation now? Take care, Cora
i genuinley thought the pyschiatric hospital i was going to for assessment was an isis camp. Kept me locked in, horrid place
Hi Rosie, that sounds really scary, sorry that you had to go through that. Do you feel ok now? Take care, Cora at Mind

Depends on the condition
If I'm an informal patient, placed in a low secure unit where there is signs saying I can leave any time I wish, would I be allowed out? I'm under 16.
