Jay in this case that Scott mentions I feel we should agree to disagree as worked a locked ward and when a patient or client, person is really manic they at the time are not responsible for their actions. Someone needs to keep them safe til meds kick in. After the episode some are so embarrassed by their actions in a locked ward. One problem with mania is the patient loves the great feeling and really doesn't want it to go away and sometimes very difficult to convince the client they need meds. Scott I'm sorry your depression wasn't helped. Love Phillipa
