OEF n' Home Again Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just wondering if during the interview with the shrink if they find you to be diagnosed with PTSD and with homicidal ideas (just thoughts but no plans for action) could they put you into a mental hospital against your will?

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 21, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 21, 2010 I would say this that if you are getting any kind of narcotic meds from the VA I would not discuss suicidal thoughts with a pain doctor. With a psychiatrist that is OK. The pain doctor is going to think you are going to possibly OD on his meds which puts him in a bad situation if you do. If you discuss suicidal thoughts with a VA doctor they may be reluctant to give you certain kinds of meds you can OD on. If I had serious plan or design to kill myself or others I would discuss it with someone in the MH field. A suicide or homicide cause so much trouble for loved ones anything is better. If you kill yourself you family suffers. If you kill someone else you die in jail. No one in the legal system cares if you are crazy. You most likely will be locked up for the rest of your life even if you are as crazy as a bed bug. Prisons are full of psychotics who killed someone.
