"I am also a mental health nurse and I don't see anything wrong with the name of the show... if you actually watched it you would not be offended because you would wish the doctors in your facility would treat the patients like this man does.. i know its fictitious and all but you should watch it then post again and tell me if you are offended..... thanks"

"You obviously took my post in the wrong way. I didn't intend on making it offensive or shameful in any way and I'm sorry if you felt it was.

"melody were you say I m took your post in wrong way if thats was me. I wasnt talking about you."

"I am a 43 year old woman who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with psychotic features in 1997. I can see how someone might find the show's title offensive at first......but I am in 100% agreement....you have to see the show and see how the head psychiatrist in the show is so compassionate and empathetic with the patients....thank you both for working in the field..."

"Yes he's compassionate and that's great, all doctors should be but the show doesn't accurately depict mental health or mental health hospitals or the type of care that patients get in these facilities. I found that episode gives to picture of the standard schizophrenic who experiences positive symptoms, but also fuels the stigma of schizophrenics being violent. Working in inpatient acute psych is a hard job and it's not all about giving hugs and understanding to treat mental illness like for example delusional mania or acute psychosis. An honestly I assume every episode is going to be either someone with depression or someone with schizophrenia though I would like to see an episode on a borderline patient that has poor insight into their illness and addictions issues.
