Mental Health Workers in a Psychiatric Hospital (True Stories of Life in a Psychiatric Hospital Book 4)

This is Volume Four in the series “True Stories of Life in a Psychiatric Hospital. In this volume I discuss the mental health workers employed at my mental health hospital. If a psychiatric hospital was a battlefield—and in many ways it is—these individuals would be the front line soldiers. One of the job qualifications for this this position, which is usually required by employers, is physical strength. This is because they are often dealing with patients possessing unstable mental states and unnatural strength; their state of mind also increases the likelihood of violent behavior. Therefore these mental health workers must be able to contain and often restrain these individuals. Without this ability, their personal safety is in jeopardy, their coworkers safety is in jeopardy, as well as the other patients in the hospital.
