Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?
Note; not intended as complaint of my life, only the honest impression of my experiences with psychiatry and treatments for mental illness. And my passion for writing, change in perspective in psychiatry; both adult and youth type.
I got into youth psychiatry in 2007 at age 14, but I spent 6 years without real treatments, diagnosis or most importantly without any antipsychotics for psychosis after the introduction to psychiatry.
What I would have done differently would be to try push the youth psychiatry to really get more in-depth into why I came into the system in the first place. I could of course not ever be actually successful without the truly great efforts from my wonderful family, especially that of my dear mother.
So this is part if my experiences being without effective medications in the youth psychiatry settings. I began my treatments with medications at age 20 years old and I’m taking my medicine as I am supposed to. And I’m working on some type of creative writing to bring awareness to the about the role of patients in understanding mental-health conditions from different, from within, true perspectives that are valued as real.
Thank you all ❤
