Re: Have you ever been sectioned?
No, I have never been sectioned. The nearest I came to that was being locked in an office with a Ward Sister and a patient who was having a psychotic episode. We talked to him for three hours until the Mental Health Team arrived to section him. I was not scared, the poor man was terrified by his imagined demons. I do hope he recovered.Re: Have you ever been sectioned?

Not myself but a very close friend was sectioned.Re: Have you ever been sectioned?
I haven't but I have helped someone who was. It seems to depend on where it happens but where he was they had a particularly poor service. It was extremely difficult to get him out. They still administer ect and gave it to him against his will even though they know it damages the brain. He finds it difficult to read a book now. He's in a better area now where they have a joined up service.Re: Have you ever been sectioned?
Re: Have you ever been sectioned?
I haven't but my mother was sectioned several times over the years starting in 1960 off and on through to the late 90s. She had ECT several times in the early years, locked up, 'zombified'. Awful times.
