Sahlgrenska University Hospital's psychiatric department is facing severe criticism following an investigation by SR Kaliber into risky patient discharges.
Moa, a 25-year-old patient, was discharged despite her fragile mental state, leading her to attempt suicide shortly after.
Her experience is not isolated; other patients have reported similar dismissive treatment by the same doctors.
The investigation revealed troubling practices, including a doctor providing instructions on how to commit suicide.
This has prompted the hospital to suspend the involved doctors and launch an internal review.
The case highlights significant concerns about patient safety and the handling of mental health care at the institution.
