??? about the compulsory mental health act?!
Question: I'm sectioned under the mental health act and next week I am meant to see my psychiatrist but I will be away and I tried to tell them at the mental health clinic and they got all legalistic with me about having a warrant out for my arrest!
My dad is having surgery and thats why I will be away. I told them that but they showed little sympathy!
I am bi-polar and my mood is currently stable and there is no risk in me missing my fortnightly doctors visit!
Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you cope.
I still plan to visit my father - which is three hours away from where I live and I will be staying with him for one week.
