Ron Said:

Is it incorrect that only a Judge can order an Offender to have a mental health assessment and?

We Answered:

On the whole, people cannot be forced to undertake mental health assessment or treatment unless they are sectioned. It is difficult to section somebody, very difficult, and it does not happen unless there is an acute risk to self or others.

If it is not mandated by the court, and when it relates to risk assessment, the supervising officer will include compliance with mental health services as a part of sentence plans both in custody and in the community.

Not addresing mental health difficulties while in prison would give the parole board no evidence that the risks had reduced. Non-compliance with treatment in the community can, under some circumstances, result in recall to prison.

Andy Said:

How long does a mental health assessment take?

We Answered:

Your assesment will probably take a couple of appointments. My assesment took about 6 hours in all. It was three sessions of about two hours each. You talk with the psychiatrist..they ask you a lot of questions regarding everything pretty much, school, family, friends, if you're sleeping, not sleeping, if you're eating or not eating, if you've lost weight, if you feel sad and depressed, if you've lost interest in the things you used to enjoy.. they really ask you a lot. They make you fill out questionnaires and they make you look at pictures and you have to tell them what you see. It's really not a bad thing. They're just there to help you. If you need more information, you can always email me.

UK: As far as I know, only a Judge can order an offender to have a mental health assessment?

We Answered:

I think a police officer can arrange for an assessment of someone in police detention. A client of mine had it happen once, but because his mental illness was drug-induced, the doctor did not have to section him.
I think the only way the victim's concerns can be taken into account is by the victim expressing it in the Victim Impact Statement which is read to the court on sentencing.
Hope that helps

Getting a mental health assessment?

We Answered:

They may ask you if you feel suicidal. What are your sleeping habits. What is your daily routine. Are you able to concentrate? Can you preform your regular duties without difficulty? Don't be nervous.

Vincent Said:

What will happen/what will they ask at a mental health assessment?

We Answered:

better get you really informed =what is vitally important is to choose your healing route- for this problem ----- carefully from good information—that means knowing druggs/meds treatment for this can/will be damaging to your mind and body .drugs only mask the symptoms they do not cure.

This info well –it will save ---years of suffering = if you apply it ..

All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense
It costs millions of pounds to test and approve just one treatment.

Drug companies pay for most testing and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies that have been tested with profit potential in them.

Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved massive amounts of suffering

Drugs are not the answer for any mental illness-- at best they mask symptoms

This is a fundamental principle grasp this fully –

Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, reiki Light therapy, Colour therapy, the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy and u wont because no one can put a patent on these powerful therapies .

For much more info/ detail and research behind this protocol
Go here http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/theholi…
Upon joining this group you will be sent a file giving the info –or go to the files section within the group and u will see it there

Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by anyone trying for short cuts …
.
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.

2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this --- 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results

3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy - nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have

4 study and apply good nutrition— adele davis books =protein minerals =iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc

5 ensure your thyroid is working well get it checked

6 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

7 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well . choose your company well.

8 get to a place which personally love or like

9 do some work which you like or love

10 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don’t want to add to your karma do we !!!

11 spiritual healing and reiki find good therapists who offer this service in your area many spiritualist churches which are all around offer this for free as part of their vocational offerings to the divine.

12 focus your mind - think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,

13 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..

14 Positive affirmation- t programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .

15 get a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time

16 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs.== find a big tree and hug that.
.
17 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy

18 light therapy sunshine /light box and vitamin d and ensure water intake 2 litres a day

A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work. The more u do the better u will feel .

Claude Said:

what type of questions do you get asked in a mental health assessment?

We Answered:

Each clinic has their own forms, so you can't download them to see what they are. When you go for an assessment they will ask you about your mental health history, your family's mental health history, your medical conditions, your family life, your symptoms and stuff like that. It is really nothing to worry about. I have had tons of them and it is no big deal.

Viola Said:

What is a mental health assessment in the UK?

We Answered:

Hi,

i have had this done before by a phychiatric nurse at one stage last year when i was very depressed and basically suicidal and I was not sectioned. I was just asked a series of questions like "do you hear voices telling you to do things?"...."do you want to hurt yourself" etc, it goes on for a while but it's nothing to be worried about...they just need to assess your risk to yourself and others and use it as a way to help them, help you!

I hope you feel better soon.
