"Inpatient mental health unit."

(as a parent/guardian),

I thought the doctor was rude and provoked the patients causing distress to them. It felt like the doctor was eager to discharge my son without a diagnosis or proper after care and in my opinion this nearly cost my son his life as he tried to commit suicide.
