Detainment is not healthy for any mind, specific cases need this kind of care. Doctors are extremely unhelpful. Only nurses seem to wait to help but they have 0 power to help us causing major frustration.

Response from Berrywood Hospital
Thank you for your feedback. To detain someone under the Mental Health Act is carefully considered and is subject to a legal framework. Some patients may require this for a period but there is a legal process of appeal which staff are careful to explain. Independent Advocates are available to support patients during their detention.
