What really happens if you have a bipolar relapse and need urgent help? Navigating the public mental health system, especially during a crisis, can be confusing. 🧭
In this episode, Dr. Lieux-Chi Nguyen, a public sector psychiatrist, pulls back the curtain on inpatient care. We tackle the tough questions: What's the first number you should call?
What is the critical difference between a voluntary and an
involuntary admission? We also explore how you can prepare in
advance so your wishes are known, even if you lose the capacity to make decisions. 📝 Dr. Nguyen breaks down who is on your care team—from case managers to psychiatrists—and what each person actually does to support you. 🤝
This is a must-listen guide to understanding the public sector, building your support system, and knowing your rights before you need to use them. 🎧✨
