@Appleblossom sorry to hear about your son having another episode/incident (sorry, forgetting what word you used), but relieved to hear he was not sectioned. That's a thing to be hopeful for that the system may be slowly changing in this practice, even if it is very much a matter of which individual you get that decides?
I wonder if you may be interested/encouraged to hear that I know of a crisis-team psychiatrist has actually been more mindful of taking the time to sit & chat to in-crisis patients first to see if they can be de-escalated to avoid mandatory holds and/or treatment orders, as well as taking the time to really talk to ones with suspected psychosis to differentiate between psychosis, cptsd-reaction, or other things that could explain the presenting perceptions/thoughts (which then can be de-escalated and not require detention or treatment orders). It makes me feel a little safer knowing they work in my local crisis response team 😅, not that I plan to be in that situation - but if I was, I'd be asking if he was on-shift to instead speak to 😅.
Sounds like the show went well. 🙂 . I love how you acknowledged and handled the minor error in the piece - and that it really isn't a problem that distracts from the overall piece and enjoyment of it. 🙂 .
