The Rosenhan Experiment is the most famous one. Over 40 years old.

Do you think that these tics have had any impact on your ability to make or maintain friendships? Romantic relationships?

Any funny related stories?

I work at a psych facility but don't get to sit down with a psychiatrist and ask these questions, so I figure I will ask now:

What do you say to severely mentally ill and involuntary patients who tell you that they do not have a mental illness and don't need medications? Who refuse to take medications or go to their appointments for injections? Who are convinced that homeopathic remedies and exercise are all they need to manage their recurrent suicidality or psychotic symptoms?

Do you believe in DID? When interacting with someone diagnosed with DID, do you call a patient by their alter's name if they ask you to? Or is this less common in Mexico?
