Get Well Soon 2(Akathisia)

The Wikipedia definition of akathisia includes reference to ‘inner restlessness’ which is manifested in an inability to sit still or to

remain motionless. Derived from the Greek for ‘not to sit’ or ‘without sitting’, akathisia

is a ‘side effect’ of some typical antipsychotic medications, particularly when

given by injection.

Get Well Soon :-One thing for certain for some of the patients in the old National Health

Service asylums in the UK, was that

they weren’t about to get well any time soon...

On Horam Ward :

Meanwhile, on a nearby corridor...

A chance meetingat the patients’ canteen...

On Jarvis Brooklong stay ward:-

It’s late afternoon onChailey Ward...

Back to the ward officeat Horam Ward :-

THE END

If any of the issues here haveaffected you, draw a picture,

make a song or poem – do some kind of narrative.

And maybe use digital media.
