I’m kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?
Welp, touching stuff. Not for me.
Got some problems with touching. Dunno if it’s autism, bad experience, or a mix of both, but now I think it’s better to lie to my psychiatrist.
I wouldn’t recommend that. Is that the Psychiatrist who is currently treating you and is possibly discussing admitting you to a psych ward? If so, be honest with them and let them know what worries you about being admitted. Maybe they can help you find a new perspective.
And in case you mean the staff in the psych ward, let them know your boundaries early on. It will improve the quality of your stay. Usually the staff will ask you about your symptoms on the first day, get an overview over your needs and challenges. This would be a good opportunity to mention that.
There are three people you should NEVER lie to:
• A medical doctor
• Your therapist
• Your attorney
Only applies in democratic countries with a good human rights track record and functional rule of law
Despite the amount of dopamine received from all the outrage manufactured over the implied collapse of democracy, whilst simultaneously receiving all those lovely endorphins as a result of just imagining the downfall of civilization….
For both, the law governing privately shared info is still very much intact for both.
Some countries never had it to begin with
Should I really be telling a therapist about how the governemnt is making me depressed and how much I hate CCP if I were still in China? I’d get locked up lmao

My point is: Your advice to “never lie” to these supposed “trusted people” is not always a good advice.
Okay. Go ahead and lie to them. Withhold information of your choosing. It’s not like there aren’t any consequences of prescribing medications or performing procedures based on patient honesty.
