Hey fine folks, feel free to ask me anything regarding the NSW Mental Health Act (2007) and what to expect if you, a loved one, or a friend are *scheduled by police, ambulance officers, or mental health professional. Please keep in mind that I am unable to comment on your personal experiences, the suitability of the medications you have been prescribed, or your diagnosis.
*Scheduled - detained as an involuntary patient under the NSW Mental Health Act (2007)
Patients on antidepressants and psychiatric medications are usually at greatest risk (increased risk of suicide/other adverse events etc) during the first few weeks of new medication. I think in the long run this could have been the best situation for this family.
