"Helpful Staff but Denied access off the Ward."

Much of my recent health care experience has been 1st class. Surrounded by helpful staff and access to the healing side of the psychiatric system which is attending to and nurturing the root cause/problem instead of just trying to make the symptoms which often causes further symptoms on its own. CBT, MBT, OT, Chaplaincy, Education, communications skills is all miles away from say being put on eye sight obs, when all movement is restricted sometimes to just one room.

Just this last month, I was denied access off the ward, refused access to a phone to call family or solicitor and had to be naked when changing with door open, patients passing by being observed and a light on all night. Not great for a good night and ensuring I suffered no stress.
