That’s the ward it was on in Limerick so that’s what it’s known as among Limerick folk.

It’s like a switch I think. I wouldnt be an expert by any means at all but one day a fella is fine. The next they can end up not being the same person.
Gut health.

Schziophrenia seems to be triggered quite often from heavy weed smoking. Awful condition as people don’t ever really recover from it.
Ah it’s rarely a switch, unless something traumatic happens. But it can be a pressure cooker. People can cope for a while but eventually, especially if they get no help, it can become too much.
Plus plenty people appear fine on the outside and are literally in unbearable pain inside

Sounds like what I heard this evening
You’re right. I was looking at it from my perspective rather than theirs.
Its mad though, once the head goes at all it is very hard to get back on track.

I know 2 people whose lives have involved a stint in St Pats every few years to get them back on the road. In between life went on as normal once they worked at their condition but like everything some things slip and they end up needing help. The mind is fragile enough.

If it all possible they need to get him to somewhere like St Pats instead of 5B.

I’ve thrown you the magic 10 but not out of the enjoyment of the post. The mind can be terribly fragile and November is a bleak month. Hopefully he gets the treatment he needs and puts this behind him but it’s not easy.

The aul lad was a psychiatric nurse. He said in the early days they had no drugs so sometimes the job was just to sit on a lad for 24 hours. Said you very very rarely met a bad (evil) one

My aunt did a spell in there 20 years or so ago. All the kids had grown up and left the home and she’d a complete void in her life.

There was a study before on television drama and it found that TV shows constantly equated mental illness to psychopathic, dangerous and violent behaviour. The reality, as the study showed, was this was far from the truth.

I also think there’s a lot of focus on mental well-being but mental health is a different ball game and if a person has a mental illness people do get afraid and shy away as they are afraid (rightly or wrongly) of physical harm.
If a lad ever has a wobble I’d always advise telling the job it’s a physical thing and not a mental thing as people don’t really want to be around it and don’t want it in particular in a workplace despite all the HR PR

Absolutely and it ties into what I said above. People are often afraid of anybody with a mental illness.

Life is tough bros. Tougher for some.
Make sure you use this place to vent, lash out and call everyone a cunt.
It’s very therapeutic.
