Everyone has come that feeling of uncertainty when we move from school to school. A feeling almost even fear. What will happen now, what's that hazing, how many people have ...
Well, Maybe that was my first impression after stepping on a Mental Health Unit, formerly known to me as a psychiatrist.
thought to get users going to see, prior to my patients, running without meaning to and fro, screaming and some of them in a corner without any contact with anyone.
And all this was fitted with a shield, which was to avoid any eye contact with them, and a sword of attention if that actually happened, sword melted in a few seconds of being there.
As the days passed, I realize that all these ideas become emptied and all becomes much more enjoyable.
I notice that you can work a lot with them, and that they can see improvement.
That many activities in a school may be a tedious, here are highly valued and even considered an award and a pleasant distraction.

Users of Mental Health Unit are people with an illness like any other, and we treat them as such.
They appreciate everything you do for them and try to participate in whatever they can.
I realized that it is they who have the wand of conductor and it is they who should be responsible and take control of their disease, because we are here to help, but not to direct their lives.
I've also discovered some fascinating things in mental illness. Because one thing is to study the symptoms of a disorder, schizophrenia and other see it live and direct. One can not make the idea.
we believe that the career professionals in the field, that there is not much more to learn, and actually came away with a knowledge base and contact with the users when they begin to learn truth started to be professional and all this with your help.
users help us to acquire knowledge while helping others in similar conditions, hence the need to give them an active role in the treatment and thus improve their conditions as far as possible and as quickly as possible.
Finally comment that the days fly past practices, and with the help of the people admitted to different units, the job becomes much easier and rewarding.
