"Mental health facilities"

Hi there from my experience inside mental health facilities inside northern Ireland I have found there is major lack of activities that actually improve mental health of patients the doctors employed in these facilities make assumptions based on short conversation with patients these doctors would rather prescribe medication than find alternative remedies to the patients problems if patients are expected to go back into society. I believe they should be learning skills and occupations that will benefit them on there return to the community.

A more practical hands on experience would benefit some patients so they can manage there problems more effectively on the outside and reduce there need for help staff.

Just because these doctors have qualifications does not mean they know best a lot of there assumptions of patients are only over short interactions and there go to remedies is to prescribe medication that they know very little about instead of finding solution without medication.

Some patients have over active brains that would be more a help to society than leaving them medicated for problems they have been diagnosed with by doctors that do not know what patients have been through in there life or what experience they have had more in-depth analysis of patients would be essential and alternative action plans should be made to accommodate with every patients individual needs.

I feel a review should be made to the mental health care facilities and alterations carried out to accommodate a better health care practice.
