Mental Health & Palliative Care

I was hands on with my Father through his palliative care time and believe that there should be a Mental Health Ward in each Hospital in the Regional area. People who are at an age where the body is breaking down need help with their Mental Health and there are far too many nurses helping them that just dont understand Mental Health, also some Doctors. I am about to enter that phase with my Mum now at the age of 90. Mum struggles with extreme anxiety and the start of Dementia. We recently had to hospitalize her for this but the Hospital in our area , Clare SA, though a great Hospital, needs to have a Mental Health Ward which is serviced by both Doctors & Nurses who understand Mental Health. Too often she was told "there's nothing really wrong with you, get over it" Not the fault of the staff really but a system that does not provide Mental Health Wards for these people. Before you put this down to economics, These Humans paid tax all their lives and deserve bertter!
