'Very vulnerable' woman with chaotic behaviour to remain detained in psychiatric unit

A "very vulnerable" young woman who is not mentally ill but has complex disorders and chaotic behaviour must remain detained in an acute psychiatric unit for the time being, the president of the High Court has ordered.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly said the HSE may need to explore the option of addressing the woman's needs in a specialist UK unit as different placements here over years have not worked and she is now effectively being “contained”.
