So very very difficult to watch, but such a very important story that needs to be told. The general population has no idea what happens in public psychiatric wards in Australia in the twenty-first century.

@Former-Member Most of my muddle now is due to trauma I've experienced within the NSW public mental health system, and yep, hearing this on the news today and just watching the footage now has made me start to sweat and rock. However, how is the message ever going to get out there, if those of us who have experienced it don't stand up and speak out about it. So yep, a tough story, but I for one am glad that the issue is being talked about.

Thanks for the article.
I am sad for the family but glad this is being discussed.
I just pray that it won't turn into another inquiry where "recommendations" are put into place,as this has happened many times in the past and recommendations,suggestions or guidelines do not produce change.
Unfortuntely,for every one story we hear about a person being treated without dignity in the mental health system,there are 50 more that we don't hear about.
