I had to do a risk assessment the other day at my appt with my nurse. I have never done one before it has kinda triggered me. It asked questions on suicidal thoughts, attempts, self harming, Delusions, psychosis etc etc this lasted an hour.
I have been crying and feeling complete and utterly rubbish in mood and attitude. Has anyone ever had a risk assessment done on them? |

I did once while IP. I remember thinking that they used the paperwork so they didn't have to bother to take the time to actually talk with me. I can understand why it might be triggering. Come to think of it, every time I see my GP I have to complete a very short risk assessment page and I do find it triggering. I try not to think much about it, but yes- it bothers me.

They have a short form when I see my GP, too. Mostly about depression and suicide, though. The form you're describing would bother me, too, Miss Laura.

Yes I done it a couple of times. I'd rather people work the questions into a conversation vs on a scale or yes/no questions. Short one at GP office I always fail.

Ah I have never done one before. I'm never at my GP as I'm under the (CMHT) Community Mental Health Team the GP kinda refuses to do anything Mental health related as I'm under a care team for that. Plus I find the GP's here incompetent.
The assessment was really detailed and it already had info in it re my Mental states. My nurse read it out and we discussed it. Honestly if the floor could of opened upped and swallowed me then I would of embraced it. I was really uncomfortable. It has to be reviewed in a year's time. We had to talk about self harming and tbh I missed loads out not just on this topic but on others cause I was put on the spot Feel bad about that as I don't want to revisit it but it's on my mind now Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk |

My nurse practitioner ask me casually whether I have been anxious, manic, depressed I told her that I rarely get depressed.
I am pretty stable right now except for the lake of discipline to do my paper work. Avoidance??? bizi

I see my nurse every 3 weeks so she see's me very regularly. But she just casually said after the how are you question right risk assessment....
I have been plagued by nightmares for weeks now. She mentioned paranoid delusions. I have never heard that termed used when in reference to me. Makes me sound crazy. Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk |

My pdoc has used the term "paranoid delusions" for me. It sounds horrible, I know. But paranoid delusions are so common.

I used to have to do risk assessments every month with old my therapist. They were just routine. I’d lie sometimes on some of the questions just so I could avoid going to the hospital. At my primary doctors they would ask every time if I felt down depressed or hopeless in the past 2 weeks. Which I usually did but I always said I didn’t so they wouldn’t read into stuff that either wasn’t there or was being taken care of by a mental health professional. Oddly enough at my preop appointment a couple weeks ago they didn’t ask that question. No healthcare professional ever mentions the risk of post op depression. I find it weird when it’s so common.

I have to do a risk assessment on a tablet computer every in-person appointment. It's just protocol. Mass production medical care. I try not to be annoyed. It just takes a few minutes, it's not the end of the world. It's just a business relationship with medical professionals. I'm under no illusions that they "care." It's mostly to cover-their-@$$. Well, aren't we cheerful today...
Writing this from my balcony, the first day it's been warm enough and i've been well enough to take advantage of it. The Wi-Fi is stronger out here than in the living room! I sure have a stunning view! |

Every peer counseling session I did at centerstone of ky I had to do risk assessment. It’s becoming common place. Even though we are no longer affiliated with centerstone we still have a zero suicide initiative.

I honestly hate when doctors use psych lingo towards me. Or they’re like analyzing me in front of me.
