How do we most respectfully refer to clients with mental illness?
Don’t say “mentally disabled,” “mentally handicapped,” or “mentally ill.” Say, “has a mental illness.” It can also be appropriate to say “mental health condition,” since many people who deal with mental health concerns may not have a formal diagnosis or a full-fledged illness.

How does positive language promote good mental health and wellbeing?
The language we use and how we communicate is critical to support good mental wellbeing. Negative language can stop people from opening up, but positive language can encourage a dialogue. And the more communication there is, the better.
It provides a common language for clinicians to communicate about their patients and establishes consistent and reliable diagnoses that can be used in the research of mental disorders.

What should I say to my psychiatrist in an appointment?
Be Open and Honest In All Psychiatric Appointments Honestly, it’s natural to want to hide stuff, even from a psychiatrist, but he can’t help you if you don’t give him the full picture so it’s critical to be honest with your psychiatrist. If you’re experiencing sexual dysfunction – say so.
What happens when you first see a psych ward doctor?
When seeing the doctor for the first time he or she will ask lots of questions about your psychiatric history, your present issues that brought you in, then go over medications. It has been my experience that most psych ward doctors throw a lot of new medications or higher doses of what you are already on.
How to answer psychiatrist’s questions effectively?
If you’re raging in out of character ways – say so. If you just bought five, $5,000 handbags that you can’t afford – say so. All of this is important stuff even if you’d prefer it not be. Also try to answer the psychiatrist’s questions with as much honesty as possible. Don’t try to shape your answers into a diagnosis, just be honest.
Is there an excuse for having a dreary environment in a psych ward?
In my opinion, there is never an excuse for having a dreary environment in a psych ward, but it is often true. Some units I was on were old and worn with little cheer. In need of fresh paint, and a pop of color would be nice. If there was anything on the wall in the old places, it was old and ugly, or nondescript.
