How to put a person in a mental hospital. Normal crazy How to drive a person to a mental hospital using illegal methods
Essentially, there are two criteria for mental illness - lack of social adaptation (i.e. a person cannot arrange his life in society at an average level) and the presence of productive symptoms (delusions, hallucinations, other obviously “abnormal” symptoms). But even if both criteria are met, this is not a reason for involuntary hospitalization. The only reason provided by law is if a person poses a danger to himself and others. Signs of this condition include, in particular, suicide attempts, manifestations of aggression and auditory hallucinations of an imperative nature (“voices ordering something to be done”). Minors are at a very disadvantage: if they wish, parents, guardians or orphanage employees can always present the situation as if hospitalization is necessary. In this case, it is the parents, guardians and educators, and not the child himself, who give consent to hospitalization. And the most unpleasant thing is that you can almost never expect adequate treatment in domestic hospitals. No one will listen to your complaints and wisely ask about dreams and childhood traumas. They will simply give you antipsychotics according to the general order, so as not to disturb the medical staff. Therefore, there is no point in lying there, even if you really have problems. Although, as an option, you can avoid taking medications at all costs (with wheels it’s easy, with injections it’s more difficult) and spend time on all sorts of useful things like reading smart books. After a few weeks, maybe months of exemplary behavior, you will probably be discharged, the hospital is not rubber. And if you are tired of waiting, you can run away. To do this, ask a friend to bring you “magic slippers”, in the soles of which money and a universal key will be hidden, like in trains (psychiatric hospitals have the same doors). There is no need to go to the nearest metro station, they will probably be waiting for you there. Go as far as possible on foot, then get on transport and leave - under no circumstances go home or to people known to your parents or whoever hid you there. You need a safe place where they won't look for you. You have to sit there for two weeks - and then you can safely come out of hiding. After this period, the search for the fugitive stops, and it may no longer be a question of “return to the hospital,” but only of “re-hospitalization” (which will not be so easy to achieve). Of course, this does not apply to closed prison-type institutions, where they are sent by court decision after a crime has been committed. Escape from there is approximately equal in complexity and consequences to escaping from a colony.

What about negative symptoms? Please don't make things up. There are no two criteria for a mental disorder: there is ICD-10 (or DSM-4, if you prefer), which clearly defines the symptoms of each disease and the duration of presence of each symptom. And only if the symptoms and the time of their observation coincide, then a diagnosis is made
Olga Lukinskaya We began to talk more about diseases and mental characteristics
. . .
, not least thanks to social networks - after all, it is often easier for a virtual audience to talk about depression or anxiety. True, the idea of staying in a psychiatric hospital is still associated with many fears and prejudices - it is all the more important to raise this topic and talk about the experience of such treatment. The AST publishing house is publishing the book “Mental Disorders and the Heads that Live in Them” by Ksenia Ivanenko, the author of a telegram channel about mental illness and her own experience of treatment. We publish an excerpt from it.
Nowhere have I encountered such tolerance and mutual assistance as in a psychiatric hospital. How often do you see a tattooed 16-year-old atheist and a 40-year-old former novice discussing with interest a painting hanging on the wall? How does an elderly woman from Tatarstan help a young girl put a blanket into a duvet cover? Common life brings people together, erasing differences and making everyone equal. In the morning, Madina does namaz, calls Christina for breakfast, they both pray to their gods before eating and share the meal. Next to them, vegetarian Lisa gives her cutlet to Masha. 14-year-old Anya sits at a table by the window and shares the chocolate that her mother brought her yesterday. 55-year-old Vera Mikhailovna gratefully accepts the sweetness - no one has visited her for a long time.
Nobody really cares whether you believe in God or not. Your musical tastes can lead to lively conversation, but not reprimand. No one distinguishes each other by the color of their skin or judges if you are a former drug addict or a current transgender. Everyone wants to get rid of pain. That’s why everyone here tries to support each other and not lose their sense of humor.
A twenty-year-old and a forty-year-old immediately switch to “you.” They listen not to elders, but to more adequate ones. If a 45-year-old woman, having forgotten herself, tries to smoke in the wrong place, then a gloomy-looking teenager calmly pulls her back, and she obeys. Here adults become small again, under the yoke of illness, losing their influence, which has accumulated over the years. And new, adult responsibilities often fall on the shoulders of young people.
In no other place have I seen such mutual assistance as in psychiatric hospitals. I have never encountered such compassion and tact.
It sounds strange, but I would advise almost every person to go to a psychiatric clinic for at least ten days. Without drugs or procedures, just plunge into this atmosphere. Not to watch enough horrors, but to learn patience and understanding.
In no other place have I seen such mutual assistance as in psychiatric hospitals. I have never encountered such compassion and tact. There are no happy people here; everyone has trailers of pain and anxiety behind them. You need to start a conversation with each person very carefully and kindly, so as not to inadvertently pick off a wound the size of a hippopotamus. One was raped, another was beaten, the third cannot stop cutting herself, the fourth was deflowered in preschool age.
Here everyone treats each other with delicate condescension. Many patients cannot speak adequately; their speech is slurred and, at first glance, meaningless. Everyone here has their own army of cockroaches in their heads and a legion of skeletons in their closet. No one here jokes or reproaches such people, but on the contrary, everyone tries to get them talking and help - because everyone here is “that kind of” person themselves.
Each of us needs support here, everyone puts themselves in the position of the other, shares cigarettes and treats them with sweets. If a person wants to talk, they will not refuse him, if he suddenly becomes anxious, they will not pester him, but will understand and leave him alone if this is exactly what he lacks.
But a mental hospital is not a magical place where all people suddenly become polite and good-natured.
It's better to end up in a mental hospital sooner than later. You shouldn’t go to extremes and end up in a situation where the psychiatric hospital comes out to pick you up.
During the first days, patients walk around the hospital completely lost, and how nice it is to see when even adults find company after some time. I became close friends with several girls from the department, and we keep in touch even after discharge.
Most of the conversations were conducted in the smoking room, where we squatted around a bucket for cigarette butts and spent many hours a day. When we got to know each other better, two girls asked to be transferred to the same deluxe room, designed for two people. There was a separate TV in their room; we often gathered there as a group, watched the 2x2 channel, shared stories, played board games or charades.
. . .
Almost all the girls with whom I managed to communicate in the hospital, like me, had the experience of repeated stays in various psychiatric clinics. We unanimously agreed that the hospitals you come to on your own are strikingly different from those places where you are taken by force after attempting suicide or self-mutilation. This sad experience allowed us to learn one very important lesson: it is better to end up in a mental hospital sooner rather than later. You shouldn’t go to extremes and end up in a situation where the psychiatric hospital comes out to pick you up. Having decided to commit suicide and realizing that you have nothing to lose,<...>You can try going to the hospital. Surely it's unlikely to get worse? Moreover, you can choose a medical institution yourself, having read the recommendations and reviews, but if you were brought to the hospital by force, then you don’t have to choose. Most likely, you will be locked up in the psychosomatic ward of an ordinary hospital, where doctors, unfortunately, usually do not have the goal of ridding you of a mental disorder or somehow normalizing your mental state. Most of all, staying in such places resembles an overexposure, and after such an experience one may get the wrong idea about psychiatry.
Russian psychiatry is only just moving away from Soviet times, and there is still a high probability of encountering the unprofessionalism of doctors and the unsuitability of medical institutions. That is why you should be especially careful when choosing a hospital. Every year the number of conscientious, qualified specialists is growing and the situation with receiving timely, high-quality psychiatric care is improving. When faced with an inadequate doctor, you should not judge the state of all science in the country by him. If you don’t like the specialist or the hospital conditions, change them, there is an alternative. You should not be afraid of treatment, psychiatrists and psychiatric hospitals. There are places where they can help you.
. . .
In general, spending time in a mental hospital is like going through an exciting quest. First you have to obey absurd rules (such as being forced to hang up, pulling out your shoelaces and surrendering all communications), then you remember who the villain is and who needs to smile. You even have a goal: to move from an acute ward to a regular one, and then to a luxury one. This is done in stages: from acute ward #1, after a week, you may (or may not) be transferred to #2, and from there to #3. But only if you behave well, eat all the porridge and don’t scream at night from hallucinations. Otherwise you have to go through this level again. When you move to the next level, new opportunities open up for you: 24-hour telephone, walks, art therapy, physical therapy classes, etc. There are six levels in total, and the final boss is in the luxury ward.
I'm in first for now.
You live in a strict ward from the end of quiet time until lights out. It is during this time that they are released from the cell (or cabin, as we jokingly called the chambers) and allowed to use the telephone. There was Wi-Fi, but there was no password. The psychiatric hospital was full of its own absurd rules, which mainly came from the nurses. I was once told that most of the nurses are former patients who spent too much time in the hospital. Apparently, in order not to be kicked out, they mimicked, or, well, evolved into staff. But it was they, and not the doctors, who were in complete control of the patients, they were the ones who checked our bedside tables while we were away, they stole our hidden sweets and expensive personal hygiene products, they were with us 24 hours a day and made sure that we did not go beyond the invisible ones they had set. framework. They also control time.
I was once told that most of the nurses are former patients who spent too much time in the hospital. Apparently, so as not to be kicked out, they mimicked
In fact, quiet time lasted from 13:30 to 16:10 every day. During this time, the entire ward is locked with a key without a single opportunity to leave. It is possible to guess that the quiet hour is nearing its end only by the deepening twilight outside the window and by the biological clock, because all the others have been taken away, and the phones have not yet been given out.
The real signal to wake up is the turning on of the light in the corridor, but this can happen at 16:15 instead of 16:00 - it’s whatever the nurse wants. The treasured switch shines in polished plastic above their table. It always seemed to us that the nurses experienced a kind of thrill from the time they had stolen from us. After the lights come on, we're still waiting. We wait for them to finally open us and look into the glass of the door. With the light, shuffling psychos come, they pace the corridor and look into our closed room. It’s so interesting how we are here, the most acute, the most seriously ill patients. Suddenly we gnaw our veins and write beautiful poems in blood on the walls.
Once they didn’t open us for a long time: the patients behind the door managed to comb the corridor a dozen times, and we stuck to the door, ready to break out at any second.
and jump into conditional freedom. After all, you still can’t leave the floor. It is also unclear where to leave your room. There is nowhere to go. But we still fall out of the room, take a couple of steps along the corridor, and occasionally even reach the sitting area with the TV. And inevitably we return back and lie down. But still, these open hours are very important - you need to know that you have your rights. Even when, in fact, they are not there. As well as passports, which were prudently taken away, apparently to make it more difficult for the patient to escape.
She admitted on camera: “Do you think it’s easy to put a healthy person in the hospital? It’s not easy,” says Sergei Zhorin, lawyer for Anna Pavlenkova, whose mother was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
Anna Pavlenkova and her boyfriend Anton Butyrin are the heroes of a love-psychiatric drama that was watched by the whole country. On February 12, the media reported: an attack was committed on Moscow mental hospital No. 6. The attackers kidnapped patient Anna Pavlenkova, shot at the guards and sprayed tear gas.
It soon became clear that the bride was kidnapped by Anton Butyrin and his friends. The attackers were put on the wanted list, but two days later they themselves came to the police and said that the girl was forcibly sent to the hospital by her mother. And there seemed to be no attack.
During reception hours everything was simply open. The checkpoint has two doors and a turnstile. Everything there is lowered, open, and the security is not interested in who came to whom. “We just ran away unhindered,” Anton “RR” explains his version of events. As a result, the case was closed, and the lawyer of the guy and the girl is preparing another lawsuit - for illegal placement in a psychiatric hospital.
But it will be very difficult to prove its illegality.
Anna herself says:
I lived for seven years with a man whom my family loved very much. But I didn't love him, and we separated. My family didn't like it. And my new chosen one - anyone - was obviously unpleasant to them. My mother convinced me many times that this is not love, that there is nothing to love this person for. She constantly attacked him, driving me to the point of hysterics.
The mother and doctors have their own argument: Anna signed a voluntary consent to treatment, no one kept her in the hospital, she could leave at any time.
They told me: they will put you in anyway. There will still be a trial, and you will still be put in jail. Two orderlies stood above me. I was scared and signed a consent for voluntary treatment,” says the girl. According to her, she was also not allowed to apply for discharge.
Voluntary-compulsory
Voluntary consent, signed in one way or another by a person, is far from the only tool for retention in a psychiatric hospital.
We are sitting in the office of the chairman of the Russian Bar Association for Human Rights, Evgeny Arkhipov. He is often asked to help solve problems with the illegal placement of people in psychiatric hospitals. I read aloud the law “On psychiatric care and guarantees of the rights of citizens during its provision.”
The de jure procedure for hospitalization is as follows. A person can write a voluntary consent to treatment. And if he changes his mind, write an application for discharge, and he must be released. With forced hospitalization, everything is more complicated. Here one of two reasons is necessary: first, the person poses an immediate danger to himself or others; second, he is incompetent and could suffer serious harm without psychiatric help. In this case, the doctor has the right to hospitalize him without his consent. Then he has 48 hours for a medical examination, which should show whether the diagnosis is confirmed or not. If it is confirmed and the person needs to be left in the hospital, the doctor has another 24 hours to send documents to the court. Based on them, the judge must make a decision within five days.
Everything seems legal and logical,” says Evgeny Arkhipov. - But in practice, all this can turn into a nightmare. Let's start by calling a doctor. Relatives can apply for your hospitalization. And the doctor will most likely believe them.
On what basis?
The team arrives and sees that the person is inadequate. Formally, a team of doctors must make sure whether a person is adequate or not. But it is clear that in the case of corruption, everything can be done with one statement.
Psychiatrist for children
“On the morning of the day of hospitalization, I went to the Aragvi restaurant to see a friend, the restaurant director. In his words, she behaved “extremely excited and ridiculous”: she broke dishes in the hall, screamed, laughed and cried, attacked visitors, hid in the corner of the hall, grabbed a knife, threatened the director” - this act of psychiatric examination of Anna Astanina was drawn up December 4, 2008 by doctors of psychiatric hospital No. 6 of St. Petersburg.
The statement, compiled from the words of those around him, seems to clearly show: the person is clearly dangerous. But two weeks later Anna was released, without indicating in the discharge either a diagnosis or the reason for such strange behavior. And the doctors answered questions from loved ones simply: “Astanina no longer needs treatment.”
Don’t you admit that the restaurant director himself was somehow interested in this? - I ask Anna.
May be. Only the next morning after hospitalization, my ex-husband and his nanny came to court and testified that I had been ill for eight years. And he didn’t say anything to my friends and relatives, who were looking for me in horror, where I was or what,” she answers.
According to Anna, she then “shared” the children with her ex-husband, a major banker, at that time deputy board of Vneshtorgbank. They have two children in their family - son Fedor (then he was 11 years old) and daughter Maria (4 years old).
This story also thundered throughout the country, but since the opposite side avoids commenting, it is difficult to judge who the victims are. In 2006, the couple separated. The son stayed with his father, the daughter with her mother.
Former family friends said that Anna’s husband, Vadim Levin, immediately after the divorce said: he would take the children, but he was unable to communicate with his wife, since he had undergone a serious operation and this communication would harm his health. The mediator between the ex-spouses was Shota Boterashvili, the founder of the VTB Development company and the former director of the Aragvi restaurant - since then he has been on the Interpol wanted list and became a defendant in one of Alexei Navalny’s investigations.
On December 4, 2008 - the day when the psychiatric examination report was drawn up - Shota was supposed to transfer a certain amount of money to Astanina for Masha’s maintenance. Anna came for them from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
The restaurant was closed. The employees attacked me, forcibly gave me vodka, loaded me into an ambulance and sent me to the hospital. Moreover, the accompanying documentation indicated that I had bruises on my neck and arms. But no one was categorically interested in this,” she says.
At the beginning of 2009, immediately after the hospital incident, Vadim Levin filed a lawsuit to determine the place of residence for the children with him. The main argument: “We are not allowing her to see the children now because she is inadequate.”
The court then ruled: the children remain with their father, and the mother can see them once every two weeks on weekends and a month in the summer during vacation. Now Vadim Levin lives in London, and this makes it difficult for his mother to meet with her children.
There is no way to implement this decision; we even contacted the bailiff service. I end up seeing my children about once every six months for just a few hours, when an agreement can be reached. In the summer they are always on the road, either in France or in Switzerland,” Anna says, becoming more and more harsh and offended.
Practical Limitations
In theory, a barrier to corruption during hospitalization should be a forensic psychiatric commission, which meets for each specific case.
Who does it consist of? - I ask Evgeny Arkhipov.
It all depends on the region. As a rule, it is formed at psychiatric dispensaries. It happens that it includes doctors from several dispensaries and hospitals.
In the case of Anna Astanina, forensic psychiatric experts were heard in court the very next day. Vadim Levin was also summoned. In his only interview, he said: “I was called in as an ex-husband to ask some questions. But I didn’t draw any conclusions. The decision is made by a medical commission. I expressed a specific opinion about her behavior, as I know, a person who is not in her right mind.”
When the court decides whether to hospitalize a person or not, the defense seems to have the right to provide the results of an independent examination, but for this the patient must be taken to experts. But the law does not indicate how a person already in a mental hospital can be taken from there for a comprehensive examination in another institution. Therefore, it is almost impossible to prove anything at the first court hearing. Proceedings drag on for years, and the illegality of hospitalization is established only in exceptional cases. Astanina managed to undergo an independent examination at the Serbsky Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry and at the Research Institute of Psychiatry of the Russian Federal Health Service only after she had already been released. But this did not help: the court added the results of the examination to the case, but still believed the doctors from the mental hospital.
According to Evgeny Arkhipov, agreeing with the forensic psychiatric commission on the necessary conclusion is as easy as shelling pears.
People who work in the field of psychiatry often have private practices. And private practice is associated with certain financial investments. You know who is on the commission, supposedly make an appointment with one of its members and deposit money,” he says about the most popular mechanism.
It costs very little. I enter the query “how to put a person in a mental hospital” into an Internet search engine. There are a lot of links to forums discussing this topic.
Very often people are really worried about the health of their loved ones. A little less often they write directly: “The gothic neighbor is fed up, she’s reading curses from her Kabbalah.” Or: “Help put grandma in the hospital. I have no strength anymore.” Appropriate answers: “Do you understand what you are doing?” There is also a discussion that you can’t legally put a person down by force. But it’s illegal - the prices are different: some say 20,000 rubles, some say 500 bucks, some say 900 euros. Judging by the entries on the forum, “patient care” costs the same amount. For this money, he is guaranteed not to be tortured, beaten or even offended.
The numbers speak
According to the World Health Organization, up to 15 million people in Russia suffer from mental disorders. The most common illness is depression. 1.5 million people are registered, another 2 million are formally healthy, but are forced to seek advice. Nobody knows how many cases of illegal placement of people in psychiatric hospitals. The Association of Lawyers for Human Rights believes that domestic disputes account for up to 20–25% of cases of illegal hospitalization.
Here are a few more episodes from legal practice. Lidiya Balakireva, 50, was placed in a psychiatric hospital three times, and her daughter then moved into her apartment in central Moscow. A man sent his own daughter to a mental hospital to take revenge on his ex-wife. In St. Petersburg, the daughter called psychiatrists to her elderly mother Zoya Orlova, having learned that she wanted to sell her half of the apartment.
There are really not so many such reports - compared to the news about cases where psychiatrists were not an instrument of showdowns, but participants in them: as part of gangs that made their living by seizing apartments. But such scammers regularly end up in the dock, but those who only “help” relatives never do so. At least for the last ten years.
The law is straight forward
Today, under the current law on psychiatric care, two judges, together with secretaries and a district psychiatrist, organized the seizure of apartments and are now whileing away the time in the zone, says Mikhail Vinogradov, a forensic psychiatrist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, ex-head of the Center for Special Research of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. - The presence of this law did not hinder them in any way.
Mikhail advocates a return to the Soviet way of regulating relations between the healthy and the mentally ill. The key proposal is to generally remove such cases from judicial consideration:
The courts are already drowning. We have 17 psychiatric hospitals in Moscow. The average capacity is from four to six thousand people. Don't deceive yourself: conducting a serious investigation into every case is still unrealistic.
According to Vinogradov, to make a decision, the person needs to be hospitalized or a council of doctors must be assembled. I argue with him: now doctors can also come to court and say that a person is dangerous.
And you prove to the judge that this man can kill someone. “He may not kill,” Mikhail insists.
It is clear that leaving real patients in the wild is dangerous for society. Evgeny Arkhipov also agrees with this. The lawyer says that clearly mentally ill people periodically turn to him:
A woman came to us, she works in the police. She said: “I am being persecuted by my management.” 15 minutes pass, she returns and demands that we tear out the sheet with her data recorded. Then he pretends that he is calling his friends from the police, who supposedly will come to us and break all the furniture. What's the matter? They began to find out: it turned out that her child was sick, and it seemed to her that the authorities were to blame for this. And there are many such people.
And according to Arkhipov, it is necessary to review the list of diseases and rethink for what diagnosis a person needs to be hospitalized and for which not. Introduce an ombudsman for the rights of mental patients, who would have access to medical confidentiality and could enter all hospitals. Change frames. Completely. How the police were reformed in Georgia - from scratch and again.
I don't want to argue anymore. It seems that this is the condition that is called mental health.
Parishioners defended
The most ordinary person, who has a lot of friends and acquaintances, can be drawn into family squabbles with the involvement of a psychiatrist. It is they who most often become a kind of ombudsman for an illegally hospitalized person. Anna Pavlenkova's defender was her fiancé, Anna Astanina's sister, Inna from the Moscow region, in the fight for her daughter, raised the prosecutor's office and guardianship authorities. It is, of course, more difficult for single people who are faced with ill-wishers relatives. Lydia Balakireva was rescued from a psychiatric hospital by volunteers who miraculously noticed her. And Zoya Orlova is the rector of the St. Petersburg Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, where she goes to pray.
Father Alexander has a service in the church at the Kresty pre-trial detention center behind him. However, you can’t tell from him that he spent many years “in captivity.” He smiles a lot and jokes often. The story of Zoya Orlova is told, rather, as an instructive parable. 50 year old daughter and 80 year old mother. They live in eternal conflicts. The mother decided to leave, selling her half of the apartment. The daughter stabbed the door with a knife, called psychiatrists, said that it was her mother who wanted to kill her, and the mother was taken away.
The parishioners of the temple found out about this, they told Father Alexander. And he led the fight for the parishioner: they all went to court together, wrote statements, and visited her in the hospital. Three months later, Zoya Orlova was released, but none of the courts proved the doctors guilty of illegal hospitalization.
The main thing is that they didn’t turn it into a vegetable,” the priest sums up. Now Zoya Orlova still lives with her daughter. They have one apartment, but separate households, they do not communicate. Zoya Ivanovna herself no longer wants to move out: where should she go at her age?
And nothing prevents the daughter from piercing the door with a knife again and calling the orderlies. And Father Alexander will have to take on the role of ombudsman again. So far, even his only method of defense is publicity.
Many people, especially modern teenagers, are interested in how to become a psycho. In fact, this question cannot be called correct. The point is that you cannot intentionally become psychotic only if you consciously expose the nervous system to some special influences. It is better to understand for what reasons people can become crazy, for the purposes of personal safety and prevention. Some, for unknown reasons, want to get into Hard to Believe, but for this it is not at all necessary to become mentally ill people. It is enough to simply contact these institutions for help in certain cases. More on them a little later. First you need to understand how to become a psycho and why people generally go crazy.
Heredity
The human psyche is a huge mystery that doctors still cannot fully understand. The thing is that the nerve endings in the brain are influenced by everything that happens around people. And the answer to the question of how to become (or present yourself as a psycho) is purely individual.
Many doctors point out that the process being studied depends on heredity. If someone in the family had mental illnesses or people with diseases of the nervous system, it is possible that the disease will be transmitted. Sometimes it goes from generation to generation, in some cases - every other time. Therefore, you should carefully study heredity. Maybe you won't have to think about how to become a psycho. The disease of the nervous system itself will take over the mind when the time comes.
Great shock
The nervous system is the main component of human behavior. The more stable she is, the less likely she is to go crazy. This fact is confirmed by doctors. How do people become crazy? Fears, panic attacks and even severe emotional shock can be to blame. Usually it should have a negative connotation.
Third, you need to come up with a true story about what happened. This technique works especially well with acting out a split personality. If a person decides to pretend to be a crazy fool, then you can simply speak in incoherent sentences.
This is all. Once an action plan has been developed, decisive action can be taken. For example, attacking someone close to you with shouts of “Get away, Satan!”, after 2 minutes you walk around and wonder why everyone is looking askance, as if nothing happened. Any inappropriate behavior that is repeated several times will sooner or later lead to a psychiatric hospital.
Depression
How to become a psycho at home? You don't always have to play or expose yourself to real head injuries. Modern psychologists point out that depression can make even a healthy person crazy.
Therefore, we can advise you to “drive” yourself into depression. Staying in this state for a long time will negatively affect the nervous system. And in this situation, you can go to a psychiatric hospital.
Teenagers are most often sent to such institutions when they have suicidal tendencies. By the way, this is one of the options for presenting your personality as mentally unhealthy. Many people advise writing and declaring your desire to die, as well as cutting your hands with a blade (even shallow cuts will produce results). And very soon others will begin to consider the person crazy.
Childbirth
It’s hard to imagine, but childbirth can also deal a blow to the human psyche. There is such a thing as it occurs in both men and women. Without treatment for this disease, in some cases you can go crazy and then end up in a mental hospital.
Therefore, you should take into account: childbirth and hormonal imbalance contribute to the development of neurological problems that lead to inappropriate behavior. This process is a strong emotional tension and stress for the body. No one knows how childbirth will affect a woman’s behavior.
Now it’s clear how people become mentally ill. Most often, you can't go crazy on purpose. Just act out the madness. All changes in the brain occur uncontrollably. In case of any emotional upheaval, it is better to consult a doctor - they will help you not to drive yourself to depression and madness.
