Hey Dr syl! I'm a med student here in Canberra and I swear I saw you walking into the hospital the other day. I messaged my friend about it, thought it was just a doppleganger! Nice to know I was right. Really informative video 👍🏼
Oh cool! Come say hi next time!!!
If a person is capable of advocating for themselves and have not harmed themselves or others, they should be able to make decisions in their treatment. Full stop. I refused an anti-psychotic to help with my panic disorder. The doctor felt very certain that it was the best option, but they aren't the ones with the disorder.
You do have that choice. Sometimes it's hard, but if you're able you and have the energy for it seeking a second opinion from another doctor is warranted.
Drugs are never the answer for mental health issues!!!

They gave me four injections and I wasn’t a threat to anyone or myself and they didn’t check my heart or get my medical history before forcing me to take the injections. I didn’t consent and I still dont. What can you do if you’re being discriminated against and it doesn’t happen to any other criminal in Australia?
You make a 35 minute video sound too long - the longer videos are the best! 😁 I settle in to doing the housework while I listen so the housework isn’t as boring 😅😋🤗
You mentioned potentially talking about ECT and other advanced care directives - I would love videos on those things! It’s nice to hear about medical care (especially mental health care) with information specific to Australia 🇦🇺🙂
Thanks for this comment. I’ve been feeling the need to rush things because of how big tik Tok and shorts have become. But you’re right there’s still an important place for longer videos haha
@@DrSyl Oh gosh, if all I listened to were TikTok videos I’d never get the housework done 🙈😅😋🤗
I think as well that some topics are probably better served with long formats just because there is so much involved and so many things to talk about with some topics…
Either way, I love your videos and I’ll continue watching! 🤗💕✨
Forced care is not care. Its abuse. We hate psychiatry
Amen f**k psychiatry
Hey Dr, I’m curious, is there much difference between the mental health acts within different states?
For eg MH act in WA and NSW
It was horrifying when my friend that didn't believe he was mentally unwell and had repeated attacked his family based on delusions and living in squalor was released after 3 days and I know he didn't get the help needed. It's so hard when doctors don't believe family on actual facts but believe the patient's delusions because they sound realistic enough. Like he's still pretty stuck in his ways and doesn't know what he did wrong and is more resistant to treatment now.
I really wish more care was voluntary. It can be hard to get the level of care you need outside a crisis situaton and when you're in crisis it can be hard to have the self awareness to advocate for yourself even if you would have willingly gone days or weeks before you become too ill to advocate. In the US even if you're really manic or really psychotic they wont hold you unless you become a very very literal harm (risk of murder) to yourself or others.
That’s not true.
Very informative
Hi i was recently in hospital and I got seen by you. After being on an ED11 I was not placed on a PTO. I was wondering why that happens
4:54 I am angry. I have to be insane to get out of jail for a crime I never committed
so how do i pick some 1 to single out and get paid to recruit bullys to taunt them ? does he have to have a cross to be attached to ???
Very traumatic, what’s wrong with just talking to you ….
was i in this act ??? involuntary treatment ? as all i know is every 1 seams to have money from no where around me ???
its like a nasty group or community of a culture like that of a crowd in a riot a crowd could be classed as a community so if 1 was to be said mental because he is not rioting but is the 1 subject to the crowd mentality that is a thing that does exist then whos right whos rong ? ? if the crowd are rioting and the crowd are officials then whos right ? the 1 individual is to become friendly with government having my self bearing witness to how an entire country can change like a wave very fast and for this i can see why a politician does at times feel the stress he surely would be paid for ??? ??? thank fully facebook has made everyone politicians so the most controversial is the most load carrying person thou if i find out that i have been put on a treatment program by being tortured wile those who pay them self for paying themself like i would do if i was them is straight forward wrong if it judging on written language as this is no freedom to speak and is definitely a country being brought to its end has it is not mental to say anything has long has it is not like that of of saying fire in a building or bomb etcetera on public transport etcetera then their is no right to do what is done more than it should be personally i should shut up but you are reliant on me to save your ass for free by saying as i feel i should no body should diagnose any 1 by social media in any way shape or form has it is a entertainment platform and is used to vent the alphabet has so many words and letters in combinations that form meaning and different meaning to different readers as is provable by saying the word (trans) what does this word make you think of more than likely whatever is within your familiar memory being my advertising formula !!!! so that is what why and money you are stealing or shifting away with credit of i will take you to crown court and i will win for obvious reasons of keeping this great country standard above that of a corrupt money grabbing twisted sell your mover for a $1) just because you can bully people by shear number and power and wealth of the debt the future is being put in. does really not mean you should some of us are not children in the head and can see shit when its being thrown.
it hurts stop it ??????
That's when you bring legal aid
wow. "human rights are made up". Really neat, nothing I dont expect from a psychiatrist though. Glad you guys are saying it out loud now. I hope at some point, you guys are stopped.
Yeah let’s just let manic people be a danger to themselves and others
if it's forced, it's not care
Sure it is. It depends on the individual situation.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. i'd say that's none of ya business if ppl are mad crazy, leave them be like
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. if its forced, its a violation. Not care.
leave people alone if they want to be left alone, thats all were asking, who gives you the right to violate someones right to bodily automony evil immoral ethical fields.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
In patient care can be up to 7,500 to 21,000 dollars. I don’t know a sane person who has money to pay for that and most of our wonderful American healthcare doesn’t cover any of that.
In Australia it is free. We are very fortunate.
We were created by God,not from an explosion!!!
