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
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.
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...
We did a case study on Sarah Read for my first year in Criminology, a heartbreaking case 😢 Loving my new prison job by the way, best thing I ever did!! x x
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!
It's a pleasure, Alan. Do me a favour and tell everybody you ever meet about this channel. I will put your idea on the list of future videos. Watch this space.
I spent a few months in bronzefield and I spent time in healthcare before getting shipped to styal for court. What year did you work in bronzefield? I think I was in there round about 2012
Definitely possible. This happened to Frank abignayle - the subject of catch me if you can. I suppose different people have different levels of resilience.
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.
@@APsychForSoreMinds I don't understand the last part of your comment. "Almost got you"? Your language and emphasis on certain words, I feel, did not communicate your point well.
@@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?
Student nurse here, just learning. Love this Dr

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! 💜
Omg amazing channel so informative

I love this video! This is exactly the type of information I’ve been needing as someone who’s hoping to become a forensic psychiatrist some day 🤞🏻❤️
Thanks for watching Katy and I'm super glad you enjoyed it!
Tbh in most places someone has nicked puzzle pieces. On 1 ward some girl swallowed the batteries out of the remote. True story🤷🏻♂️

you go, sheena. congrats.
At 2:28 There's a twinkling sound. What is wondering what it is.

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 the props, Tiffany.
I spent a few months in bronzefield and I spent time in healthcare before getting shipped to styal for court. What year did you work in bronzefield? I think I was in there round about 2012
It was when maraiead Phil Potts was working down healthcare as an orderly
2016 to 2018.
I thought I could of met you in bronzefield but I was in there before you was working there
Looks a much more modern and nicer facility to Holloway tbf
Thanks for d info v useful
Happy to help
Sarah was living in hell. Those incidents were bad enough even if there wasn't a mental illness history. Another excellent episode
Deadbug sent me
❤❤❤❤
Very interesting content. Is it possible for someone to be in segregation for along time without losing their mental health?
Definitely possible.
This happened to Frank abignayle - the subject of catch me if you can.
I suppose different people have different levels of resilience.
In
Out? Shake it all about?
:)
OK but WHY are you saying trans folk are unusual???????
