Thank you so much for briefly touching on gender dysphoria because it is so out of hand now. What so many people need is psychiatric care! 💜

Student nurse here, just learning. Love this Dr

Tbh in most places someone has nicked puzzle pieces. On 1 ward some girl swallowed the batteries out of the remote. True story🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you Dr Das for such a fascinating insight into your work. Can I please ask you how you personally and professionally cope with so many acute and complex patients?

I am preparing a PowerPoint presentation on the challenges and interventions to improve mental health. Got wonderful insights from my presentation: Gender dysphoria, overcrowding and underfunding, huge and long waiting lists to transfer from healthcare to forensic services, inter-Trust reluctance to provide collateral info, staff shortages, etc. Thanks Dr Das

Omg amazing channel so informative

Great job. Sadly most people have little if any compassion for people in prison as despite the knowledge that innocents are falsely imprisoned all the time there is an assumption that 8f one is in prison one somehow deserves to be there and thus deserves whatever results as a consequence...

Very interesting video! I live in the US and it’s interesting to hear that the prison system is similar over in Britain.

Thanks for watching Katy and I'm super glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Dr. Das, Really good show can't wait for video #2. No rush questions: Does gender /age / etc... matter when it comes to the type and severity of a mental illness in the prison system ? Are there any mental illnesses harder to control as one ages in prison ? If so , is it which is harder to treat men or women's and why. Are there any long term effects from the medications you watch for in the inmates? ( If it long term inmate on meds) (heart , lung, Liver etc.. problems Thanks, C

Hi Claudia. You good? Gender, age, etc doesn't make a difference to the illness itself, but it might make a difference to the services available in prison. For example, the female prison I used to work in was far better well resourced than most male prisons. It's probably harder to treat female prisoners in general, as they tend to have more comorbidity (i.e. a higher number of social issues, such as drug addiction, homelessness, and being victims of sexual abuse). Antipsychotics certainly have serious long-term physical health implications, including weight gain, sedation, and arrhythmias - these increase the risk of heart attacks in the future. That helps. Enjoy the rest of the series.

Hi Dr. Das, Iam doing great and enjoying my summer. I hope you and your family are enjoying your summer too. Thank you, for answering my question. It is interesting that the male prisoners mental health care is not as good as the females.

Just found your channel recently; starting the second year of my counselling course and am absolutely obsessed with hearing/learning about how the psychology field is put into practice, I thoroughly enjoy learning about mental illnesses also! Keep up the good work G. Also sorry if I've missed a video but would you be able to give your thoughts on psychedelic remedies; I would love an opinion from a Dr who is non-bias!

Sarah was living in hell. Those incidents were bad enough even if there wasn't a mental illness history. Another excellent episode

OK but WHY are you saying trans folk are unusual???????

Hi Georgina. I didn't say that Trans folk are unusual. I said that the presentation of seeing somebody who wanted to change genders was unusual. Out of well over 1000 clinic appointments, I saw this two or three times. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of unusual. You almost got me, Georgina, but not quite. Better luck next time.

@@georginamcmeeking7551 No, he communicated it perfectly well. You misunderstood. It’s common, particularly on social media, for people to purposefully misinterpret what someone says in an attempt to make that person look bad, to “catch them out”. That’s how I interpreted your comment, maybe Dr Das did also?
