    Yeah, someone misses their meds for a day can be enough to trigger a psychotic episode.
    Or changes meds to something that reacts badly.

    Getting a GP appointment is hard enough, getting into a psychologist regularly is a challenge, and psychiatrists are once in 6 months if you are lucky. Misdiagnosed, mis treated or not catching a bad reaction... The psychiatrist is not going to know until you turn up in ED strapped down...
    Australia needs to have a lot more spent on Mental health, because things are outta control.

    Regular mistakes include Bipolar getting misdiagnosed as Borderline Personality Disorder, or PTSD for example.
    Sedation versus treatment leads to the person being near vegatative - but at least it solves the problem for society.
