Sadly in my case on the day the person was discharged to my utter horror I predicted they would be detained again and it would have awful consequences for myself and more importantly my children.

All patients know they are expected to put on a front and say what they need to and MH professionals will NEVER get a true picture as they have already abused the patients trust by locking them up and in this case continuing to recommned detention.

When they do, and support discharge, much depends on whether they come across as realistic or whether they also are considered to be "insightless", or guilty of "minimising".
