Hi everyone just registered here.

First off, I am not sure if this forum is exclusive to nurses or not so I apologize for the intrusion if if is as I am not a nurse or anything similar.

But if it is not, than I think I would like to serve here as the voice of the psych patient, in particular, the misunderstood psych patient in addition to voicing my views on other topics as well.

I have lots of life experiences and think I can provide insight on lots of topics.

Regardless, I hope everyone is doing well and continues to do so!
There are a few people on here that provide perspective from the patient's point of view. Their insights can really be helpful. You are welcome to participate and we certainly welcome you, but please bear in mind that sometimes the nurses come on here and vent a little bit. It's healthy for us otherwise we'd explode at the wrong time
