There’s a movie on Netflix called awakenings it’s an older movie but a doctor comes to an inpatient mental hospital and is being shown round the place there’s ppl wit different mental illnesses and other illnesses that required them to be in the inpatient hospital to be cared for but most of them were in wheelchairs and just sitting round in the hallways the new doctor asked wat all the patients were doing sitting round the nurse told him nothing that they can’t do anything for them the nurse told the new doctor they called it the garden cause all they do is feed and water the patients cause there wasn’t any help for there illnesses but some of the patients that were in a paralyzed state in wheelchairs had been that way for years and noone new wat was rong so they just staid in the hospital until this new doctor arrived and realized they all responded to different things like music physical touch watever clicked for the patient everyone was different they all had the same illness this doctor thought maybe they all had Parkinson’s that caused them to shake but the worst case of Parkinson’s were they shook so much all over they just froze so he finally was able to prescribe Parkinson’s medication in high doses to 1 patient and it worked he had been in this paralyzed state for 30 years and once given the medication he began wlk and moveing and riteing and slowly could do more and more like a normal person again and then a nurse told the doctor she couldn’t imagine loseing 30 years of her life stuck like that and asked the doctor if he thought the patient new it had been 30 years so he took a picture of the patient and when he seen it he had no idea it had been 30 years they eventually gave the Parkinson’s medications to everyone and it was helping these ppl get there life back and I just think that I see all the time ppl wit ocd spend years suffering and mostly misunderstood there’s not alot of help for us and being in the mental hospital we’re all just being fed and watered cause they don’t have alot of help for ocd in most hospitals and I’ve heard of ppl missing out on school and work and being able to take care of themselves and then the depression that comes wit that keeps ppl in there homes and in bed and the agoraphobia anxiety and anxiety attacks panick attacks social anxiety alot of ppl just don’t have any quality of life years waisted on an illness that doctors and therapist don’t understand themselves therefor we don’t get help unless it’s an ocd doctor and ocd therapist I just think the movie was crazy seeing ppl suffer for all those years no doctor looked into it they just labeled them watever in there charts and were given the same treatment wit no improvement noone ever tried to do a different treatment for them I think alot of ocd ppl are being treated the same way were all given the same treatment but ocd needs more and no doctors and therapists seem to understand that this is clearly an issue I’ve gone 15 years doing the same treatment from different doctors and therapist been on medications mostly an antidepressant I mean 15 years and nothing changed then I learn a couple months ago ocd requires it’s own doctors and therapists that actually understand it to help 15 years I’ve never seen any ocd doctor I just thought the ppl I was seeing were helping and that maybe I was just wierd but now I no there’s help out there I’ve just been given the rong treatment now I just gotta find a place that’ll accept my insurance.
