The Mental Health Act 1983 was made to protect people with mental health disorders. It gives psychiatric hospitals the power to compulsory admit someone who is suffering from a mental health disorder and is likely to harm themselves or others, these people are known as formal patients. People can also admit themselves to a psychiatric hospital voluntarily; however the safeguards in the Mental Health Act don’t cover these patients, these people are known as informal patients. An individual’s next of kin can also apply for the relative to be admitted. Typically, the Mental Health Act covers two groups of people, those who develop depression or dementia in later life and people with lifelong mental health disorders like manic depression or schizophrenia.
He is puzzled at the thought process of the inconsiderate people that don’t realize what he is going through. Especially with his drug problems he is getting rehab for. Eminem states, “There is a lot of honesty in that song that I wouldn’t want to just throw it away” (Eminem, 2009). “Beautiful” is the only song Eminem writes that he can bare to listen to because all his other songs are written by him, at a mentally distorted state by the
Cosi – Louis Nowra ‘Each patient in Cosi has their own way of escaping reality.’ Discuss. In his play, Louis Nowra creates a way for each patient in the institution to elude themselves from reality. Each patient that Lewis works with in creating the play has their own way of coping while in the institution. Roy for example escapes reality by taking his acting somewhat overly serious for where he is. Both Zac and Julie use their medication to bring themselves to an altered state of consciousness, helping them cope with everyday life in the institution.
McMurphy is both a Byronic and messianic hero and reminds the patients of the ward how to stand up to the rules of society and to think for themselves. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is centered upon the role of the individual in society and the way it attempts to install order. Sometimes the means in which society imposes order compromises the individual’s freedom. The asylum houses patients who have problems functioning within the social norms of society. Randle McMurphy is a convict, accused of statutory rape charges, who feigns mental illness in order to be relieved of his work detail.
He does not understand the actions of certain people, especially sexual ones. Proof of this is seen in chapter 9 when Holden says, “Sex is something I just don’t understand. I swear to God I don’t.”(Salinger 63) Holden’s experiences with Sunny the prostitute; where is he gets bullied into paying an extra five dollars for nothing at all, or with Mr. Antolini, where the man that seems to be the only one that understands him, turns out to be a pedophile; showcase how innocence can often be problematic and painful. Holden’s longing for adulthood is driven by this, as adulthood seems to be a stable place without confusion and with answers for everything. Despite Holden’s longing for adulthood, Holden strives to protect the young from it.
For example, your body regulates its temperature in order to ensure that you do not become too hot or too cold. Also, drive tends to increase of a period of time. In this case, it was Pickton’s sex drive that led him to murder of forty nine women’s. I think that Pickton was not receiving enough attention in his sexual life since many of the women’s were prostitute and there would have not been a need for him to meet them, if he was satisfied with his sex life. Pickton sex drive is what initiated this story.
Brandon is a secretive man – bounded as such by the shame that haunts him – feeling volatile for the first time in his life. Or is it the first time? Shame’s obscurity is the thing that people are going to be most challenged by. Not that that’s wholly bad — people love to be given an incomplete picture and told to imagine the rest of it, especially when the film being watched is as fundamentally and artistically interesting as this film is, or the performance on-screen as endlessly fascinating as Fassbender’s Brandon. Shame is about sex addiction and tells the story of one man’s internal battle where virtuosity and goodness are at war with the despotic darkness which controls and always has controlled him.
After a while of holding drugs for his friends, he told his friends it wasn’t worth it and so he stopped. That takes a lot of strength to do and this is why being hard or tough reminds me of Jamal. The third thing that reminds me of a gun is being convenient. The hall monitor reminds of being convenient because whenever there was a fight in Mrs.Gruwells class or on campus grounds
