Yes, we mean ICU. Here its usually called a PICU: Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, otherwise known as a locked ward or a secure unit. All of our wards are locked as well, but when we say "locked", we mean that no patients are allowed to have leave in that ward. No patients ever leave the ward except for when they get discharged to an "open" ward. In an "open" ward, patients are allowed leave.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
