  1. I admitted myself to a psych hospital in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. I told them after three days that I was ready to leave. the doctors and the nurses tried to convince me to stay another week, but I told them no. during lunch, one of the orderlies came over to me and said that he hopes I didn't consent to staying longer, and I told him no. he said good, and that I didn't belong in a place like that. apparently they try to get all the voluntary patients to stay longer and milk their insurance for every penny.

  2. He assaulted clinical staff in Virginia it's a felony I'm a nurse I am getting tired of being assaulted I've put charges on kids as young as 11

  3. I told an ER doc I was sad and that was enough to get me involuntarily committed. I tried to explain to other staff that I never said I was suicidal, but the doc had gone home and the paperwork was signed. I was not "better" when I was released and nothing changed.

  4. New bridge medical center. Jeden z pacjentów wyciąga penisa i zaczyna się masturbować. Pielęgniarki mnie nie lubią i pielęgniarze tez nie. Mój ostatni dzień. Zabrały mi wcześniej dziecko żeby mi zabrać dziecko. Traktowały mnie jak prostytutkę która ma być zgwałcona w szpitalu i ma jeszcze im zapłacić za gwałt. jestem matka której mafia zabrała jedyne dziecko mafia złodziei zagraconych za malo to oni maja w swoich dupach. Stać ich na papcie z polis za 2o dolarów złodzieje dzieci, rzeczy, abusers. jedna to wie wszystko o moich oknach. Czepiła się mojego okna. Jakaś stuknięta pracownica sadystyczna Michale Jackson did better things

  5. I live in Rochester, New York, and as far as outpatient mental health care, things were pretty good. However, when I was doing an intake in 2018, one of the therapists asked me if I were to commit suicide, how would I go about it? I gave her the answer of what I would do, and I’m surprised that I was able to leave the office, and don’t know how I managed to talk my way out of trouble. I haven’t heard one way or another on the quality of care for in patient treatment in this area, but there were some close calls over the years.

  6. Willing to bet they are privately owned just like a lot of prisons here in the US. getting a patient in who has descent to great insurance is a cash cow. They can tell the insurance company whatever they want and the insurance company almost always pays out. That's literally why medical Care is so expensive because insurance companies are paying out hospitals in a lot of cases, and they don't ask questions like why did it cost $300 to give my client 2 aspirin? Hospitals and medical care providers hike the bill because they know the insurance companies won't ask questions and pay out most of the time

  7. This is how the U.S. makes lifelong customers of patients who are mentally sick and need medication. Patients like myself want a cure, not a life time of treatment! Stop treating people like myself at psychiatric hospitals like animals where you lock us inside the hospital until we take medication and keep us dependent on your medical system indefinitely.

  8. Finland here. They kept me in hospital for nine months and then three years in supported housing. Not even for money, but sheer will to help. It was even more horrific, because in a privatized system you're out when you run out of money, but the social state never runs out of money to keep you in.

  9. I was put in one of these places in Minnesota
    And I wanted out but they just kept ringing my bill up day after day
    It’s scary how this works who’s really mentally ill at this point

  11. June 13, 2021 I was conserved and admitted involuntarily in a psychiatric hospital for 5 months….. When the judge told me I had to stay for another year I had thoughts to snap my neck. But thanks be to God that my conservatorship was dropped and I was able to go home finally. What a traumatic nightmare…

  12. I voluntarily checked myself into a psychiatric hospital called the Brattleboro Retreat back in 2016 because I was suicidal. I felt very scared. By the time I had checked in, and processed it was after midnight. I had missed dinner, and the staff would not even provide me with a sandwich or anything, even though I was starving. I was scared to death that there was a man in the lockdown unit repeatedly slamming his head against the door. After I met with my doctor, I wanted to leave, but she insisted that I had to commit to a 74-hour hold, or they would call the State to send mental health workers to come and evaluate me to see if I was stable enough to leave. After some arguing back and forth and help from a family member, I agreed to stay, and I got the doctor to put me on what was called Red level, which means that I would not need to be supervised as much during my stay. The very next day, which was Saturday and the doctor had the day off, I checked at the Nurses' station and I found out the doctor had not put me on level red after all. I was very upset, and it was not until one of the nurses, named Scott, vouched for me and said I heard the doctor say she was putting him on red that anyone listened or cared. Scott told me he would take care of it for me, and I don't know if he called the doctor at home or what, but by the end of the day, I was on level red. I found some of the offered classes to be really helpful, and the food was good. What I did not like was the basic needs and not keeping promises. I also felt like I was really not being heard, as if I were just a number, like this guy tried to commit suicide, case closed.
