I started training as a psychiatric nurse myself (long ago) but got out because I realised too much of the psychiatric system is more focussed on control than care & treatment and too often I was coming across nurses who seemed to be more attracted to, or worn down by, that aspect. That doesn't mean all nurses are like that, there are some great nurses out there but I'm referring to the system as a whole which is a coercive system, not an enabling one. Different in medical care, there is much more compassion and empathy, but mental health is full of stigmatised attitudes and devaluing of people.
