I have been on Marina ward for 4 months and I thought I was of sound mind when I came here. It has been an extremely turbulent time and I feel that I am still gaining a lot of insight into my mental health problems which I have been in denial of. I have been through the mill and I have somewhat taken others with me who have been able to give me guidance and whether I see it or not I have been able to come to many conclusions which will only serve to make my life easier.

Suggested improvements
I don't believe that anything could have been done much better if at all in current times. Marina ward is least restrictive and I am very unsure about leaving. However opinionated and verbally and physically aggressive I have been I have been treated unbelievably well which makes me feel that I need to take it forward and use it in my dealings with others in the furture. The whole team here from Dr nayar to the occasional agency staff are a saving grace. I am at a point where I feel confident of a medication free trial in accordance to article 8 of the human rights act. I will be able to make choices and have my mind and body respected as long as I reciprocate this to others.

Thank you for this really positive review, we try really hard to treat people individually and in a non judgemental way and are glad that you feel that this was the case in your admission. Reviews such as this are welcome in these challenging times and will give the whole team a boost in the work that they do. I will pass on the fantastic feedback and wish you all the luck in the future.
