France's mental ward for "hard patients" / UMD - Unité pour Malades difficiles

Video shows a mental hospital in France. France's mental ward for "hard patients". Link below, in blue. Mental Hospitals, A trip to the heart of madness (Hôpitaux Psychiatriques, Voyage au cœur de la folie.)

From 22:07 to 25:45
A male nurse tries to check Luc's blood pressure, the autistic patient who was tied to the bed.
Male nurse: "Stop! Stop! Come on! Come on!"

That's a defeat. Taken by anguish, Luc hits the male nurse. Lately his crises have piled up. A situation that will get even worse some hours later, at lunchtime.
Luc : "I'm not hungry."
Male nurse: "I know. But eat a little."

Because of the insistence of the nurses, his reaction is immediate. Luc threw his plate on the floor. The staff must interfere fast to prevent the increase of violence.
One more time he is tied to his bed.

For patients like Luc it's the only solution. He's been committed here for two years. Today his condition doesn't show any improvement. For François, who has spent all of his career in the UMD, that's the impasse.
François, the head nurse: "When we tie somebody up that's a defeat. When we are forced to apply an injection, or use force, or something like that... For me, I see it as a defeat.

Luc will remain two weeks locked in his room.

For some patients restraint is a necessity. That's the case of Oscar, a schizophrenic aged seventeen. He's the youngest patient here. To take him out of his room, the nurses have to cuff his arms and hold him tight. Ties that limit the young man.
Male nurse: - Can we unfasten your arms and let you go by yourself? Or do you prefer that we hold your arms? But go slow, OK? OK, we'll let you go. Slow!... All right! you prefer that we hold your arms? All right.


Oscar was maltreated throughout his childhood. Today he only communicates through violence. This time, back to the nurses' office, it's our camera that he will attack.

To try to calm him down the nurses try to talk to him.
Male nurse: "Easy! Please!..."

Behind his aggressiveness, a deep pain.
Male nurse: "We're trying to protect you."
Oscar: "I'd like to die."
Male nurse: "You'd like to die?"
Oscar: "I'd like to die."
Male nurse: "Really, why?"
Oscar: "I don't have any family, I don't have anything anymore. I'd like to kill myself."

About ten minutes later Oscar has apparently calmed down. In the face of crises like that the nurses feel powerless.
Male nurse: - This craving for dying, it's completely amazing. We can't even imagine, we can't even imagine...

22:07 jusqu'à 25:45:
Un infirmier tente de prendre la tension de Luc, le patient autiste qui était attaché sur son lit.
Infirmier: - Arrête! Arrête! Allez! Allez!

C'est un échec. submergé par l'angoisse, Luc frappe l'infirmier. Depuis quelques jours ses crises se multiplient. Une situation qui va encore empirer quelques heures plus tard, au moment du déjeuner.
Luc : - Je n'ai pas faim.
Infirmier: - Je sais. Mais mange un peu.

Face à l’insistance des infirmiers, sa réaction est immédiate. Luc a jeté son plateau sur le sol. Le personnel doit très vite intervenir pour stopper une monte de violence.
Une nouvelle fois, il est attaché à son lit.

Pour des patients comme Luc, c'est la seule solution. Il est interné ici depuis deux ans. Aujourd'hui son état ne montre aucune amélioration. Pour François, qui a fait toute sa carrière à l'UMD, c'est l'impasse.
François, le Cadre Infirmier: - Quand on attache quelqu'un c'est un échec. Quand on est obligé de mettre une injection, ou de force, ou des choses comme ça... Pour moi, je vois ça comme un échec.

Luc va rester deux semaines enfermé dans sa chambre.

Pour certains malades être attaché est une nécessité. C'est le cas d'Oscar, un schizophrène âgé de dix-sept ans. Ici c'est le plus jeune patient. Pour lui sortir de sa chambre, les infirmiers sont obligé de lui entraver les bras et de le maintenir fermement. Des liens qui rationnent le jeune homme.
Infirmier: - Est-ce qu'on peut te lâcher les bras et te laisser promener seul? Ou tu préfères qu'on te tiennent les bras? Mais tu vas doucement, OK? OK, on te lâche. Doucement!... Voilà! Tu préfères qu'on te tiennent? D'accord.

de 22:07 jusqu'à 25:45
Oscar a été maltraité toute son enfance. Aujourd'hui il ne communique plus que par la violence. Cette fois, de retour dans le bureau des infirmiers, c'est notre caméra qu'il va s'en prendre.

Pour essayer de l'apaiser, les infirmiers tentent de discuter avec lui.
Infirmier: - Doucement! S'il vous plaît!...

Derrière son agressivité, une souffrance profonde.
Infirmier: - On est en train de vous protéger. (Pas clair, langage familier.)
Oscar: - Je voulais mourir.
Infirmier: - Vous vouliez mourir?
Oscar: - Je voulais mourir.
Infirmier: - Ouais, pourquoi? (Langage familier.)
Oscar: - Je n'ai plus de famille, je n'ai plus rien. Je voulais me tuer.

Une dizaine de minutes plus tard, Oscar semble s'est calmé. Face à ces genres de crise, les infirmiers se sentent toujours impuissant.
Infirmier: - Cette sensation de mourir, mais quelque chose qui submerge complètement. On ne peut pas imaginer, on ne peut pas imaginer...

Eu sempre publicarei todo tipo de opinião e ponto de vista. que NÃO INFRINJAM AS LEIS DO MUNDO, nem as leis da Internet.

Não são toleradas ofensas a nenhuma das pessoas que comentam.

Links para blogs e sites que falem de saúde mental são bem vindos, desde que não sejam sites criados para vender psicotrópicos.

Portanto, se houver algo a ser corrigido aqui, publique nos comentários, mas COM PROVAS, como eu faço.

Algumas pessoas, ao tomar medicações psiquiátricas ou drogas ilícitas, não sofrem efeitos adversos significativos (como vemos algumas pessoas que fumam a vida toda e morrem de velhice.) Portanto verei como normal algumas pessoas dizerem que nunca sentiram nenhum efeito colateral ao tomar determinado psicotrópico.

Mas qualquer indivíduo que escrever algo contra as informações técnicas mostradas aqui deve PROVAR IMEDIATAMENTE na mesma mensagem, do contrário terei que deletar.

Se quiser me contatar pode ser através de um comentário.

This web site is mostly about human rights, health, music and curious videos from Youtube. If you have any of these your contribution is most welcome.

Links to web sites that sell MEDICATION ARE UNWELCOME.

But if your site is interesting and useful just submit the address, WITHOUT ANY EXTRA ELECTRONIC LANGUAGE, such as HTML or the like. Example, http://pacientepsiquiatrico.com is OK, is accepted. But [url="http://pacientepsiquiatrico.com"] would be considered spam, because of the extra electronic language [url. I'll check it out and link to it if I approve it. Thank you
