    34: GANGS, Crime and MENTAL HEALTH Part 2: A Case Study | FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST (Dr Das)
    Feb 2 2021
    Mr Q was an offender on remand for GBH when I went to assess him in prison as part of my role as an expert witness. He had become the target of gangs on the outside after they believed he had been a snitch. A label that would follow him.

    In prison he was attacked repeatedly and while alone in his cell his mental health was deteriorating. He was traumatised by a teenage incident where his friend was murdered right in front of him when they were jumped by a gang in his hometown. In this episode I go through why my mental health assessment of Mr Q didn’t go to plan, Mr Q’s history and symptoms and how I was able to gain vital information to help Mr Q get the mental health treatment he needed.

    33: Being SECTIONED Under The MENTAL HEALTH ACT | FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST (Dr Das)
    Jan 29 2021
    Do you know how many doctors are needed to section someone? Or what the criteria is for someone to require a section? What about the difference between a Section 2, Section 3 or a Section 37?

    I explain all this here in this episode. I also tell you what problems a psychiatrist, like myself, can encounter when sectioning someone and the various different professionals involved when a person is sectioned into a psychiatric hospital. If you are worried about someone close to you who is psychiatrically unwell, this episode might be helpful for you.

    This episode is the first of three in a series where I focus on gangs. I'm going to answer the key questions you have about gangs and tell you about three of my own cases that I've personally assessed as a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist working in London.

    In this episode I'll tell you about a teenager charged with the brutal attempted murder of another teenager after a gang fight. When he started to hear voices while behind bars, it was my job to go in and assess him. Weeks later I found out his victim tragically died. This teenager saw his charges upgraded to murder.
