Amelia sat down in the office with her parents and sister, barely acknowledging them. “Amelia!” Melanie squealed. She was so pleased and relieved to see her sister but at the same time she felt devastated because she could see how tired and ill Amelia was. Catherine began to sob at the sight of her daughter, who had been self neglecting for a long while. Larry sat there as if he was emotionless. Amelia tried not to give anyone eye contact. As far as she was concerned she was hated and unloved and everybody was probably out to get revenge on her.
“They all want you dead. Why don’t you do everyone a favour and kill yourself. Get it right this time!”
“Hello again Amelia, after having a chat with you and your family and reading your notes it is time do make a plan of how it is best to treat you. It is not an easy case by any means but I think we can achieve you becoming well again Amelia”, Dr Adams explained.
“Just tell me what the fuck is wrong with me then I can leave and go home with my family”, Amelia insisted angrily.
“I cannot make a clear cut diagnosis here as there is a history of rape, self harm, hallucinations and suicidal ideations and the potential to carry out those thoughts. We want to take the time to assess you properly and fully so we can make a correct diagnosis”, Dr Adams carried on.
“But I want to go home and you can’t stop me!” Amelia shouted, who was enraged that she was told that she could not go home.
“I strongly advise you stay in hospital as a voluntary patient otherwise we will most likely have to detain you here under the mental health act. I am not sure you quite acknowledge how seriously ill you are Amelia”, Dr Adams continued explaining.
“They are gonna lock you away. Lock you away!”
“There’s nothing wrong with me!” Amelia shrieked.
Catherine, Larry and Melanie were all dumbfounded by Amelia’s display of behaviour. “Amelia hon, you need to stay here and rest and get well”, Catherine tried explaining to her daughter.
“I AM NOT STAYING HERE!” Amelia continued to scream. Melanie left the room as she was distraught to see her sister behaving like this. “I must contact my senior urgently to discuss the possibility of having Amelia sectioned under the mental health act. We will most likely detain her under a section five, two which is a doctor’s seventy two hour hold on her while we assess and see if a section two is necessary.” Dr Adams explained as he left the room to contact his boss. By this point Amelia was hysterical and Amanda knew that if she didn’t act soon that Amelia’s behaviour would spiral out of control. “Amelia breathe honey. Calm down and take deep breaths”, Amanda said in a calm tone but Amelia was not listening. “I am leaving and you can’t stop me!” Amelia taunted Amanda and her parents. Melanie returned back in the room. She had had enough. “Amelia sit the fuck down and listen for once. You are ill you need to be in hospital. End of fucking story!” Melanie shouted. Amelia’s fury rose and she threw a chair at her sister. Amanda pressed her emergency buzzer to call for assistance to restrain Amelia. “I think it’s best if you leave the room guys, this might get ugly”, Amanda warned her family. A team of nurses and healthcare assistants from the ward and nearby wards began to assemble to restrain Amelia.
Amelia was frightened. She had never seen so many people gang up on her before. “Go away and leave me alone, leave me alone now!” Amelia demanded whilst throwing a chair across the room at the team of nurses. “Amelia if you do not co-operate we will have to restrain you. Now please, put the chair down and sit down”, Amanda said firmly.
“You can’t restrain me against my will. Fuck off all of you!” Amelia screamed.
“You can’t restrain me against my will. Fuck off all of you!” Amelia screamed.
“This is your last chance Amelia, either you co-operate or we will have to restrain you. The doctor is getting ready to detain you and you will be under a section any minute now, please co operate with us”, Amanda firmly said again.
“No, you’re all in this together. You want me to fucking suffer. Get the fuck away from me you fucking bitch!”Amelia shrieked. Amanda nodded at her colleagues and they promptly restrained Amelia. Amelia began kicking, screaming and shouting but to no avail. Another nurse with short, brown hair entered the room and gave Amelia and injection in her upper arm to try and calm her down. The team then carried Amelia into an isolation cell, where she was locked in and on her own. “You bastards! You fucking bastards!” Amelia shouted whilst punching the wall. Amelia carried on her tirade for a good fifteen minutes before she eventually wore herself out and fell asleep.
