It’s like that where I live too. I have all kinds of psych ward abuse stories from my stays.

There was abuse at the last psych hospital I stayed at in 2016
Couldn’t believe it
I’m sure that this kind of behavior is commonplace

Feels like some of these hospitals are stuck in the Middle Ages!

I come from both sides of the table. As a member of staff and later as patient. Ive seen abuses from both sides, Ive seen some let it slide and others fight against it. Thankfully I never dealt abuse or received abuse. Reported it enough times though, in my time. If its not the care Id be happy for my wife or Mum to receive, then its not good enough for anyone!

I’m sure ALL of us can relate. Abuse by mental hospitals is so common. I’ve been hurt so bad mentally by them. And there has never been any accountability. I’m glad they’re starting to be exposed. I hope doctors lose their job over it. I don’t blame the nurses so much. Just the ability to arbitrarily commit people goes to people’s head.

Some of them are sexually aroused by hurting vulnerable patients unfortunately.
Some just feel powerful by supressing and abusing vulnerable patients.makes them feel like superior powerful people to belittle others who are fragile.
Only weak people are like this.
I really hope improvements happen where patients are treated with compassion and respect and kindness and care.
Last hospital stay they were nice.
But the public hospital closest to where I live now are well know. For abusing patients and being cold cruel abusive.
Hope I never go in that hospital again.
Last time I was there was horrible but I was lucky a couple other patients took care of me .
The treatment from staff was actually not legal.

That article was really sad. That’s how the patients are treated at Alaska Psychiatric Institute, our version of a state hospital. I’m glad they no longer send me there, they used to shackle me to go on the airplane to API, and every time i told them API was just a warehouse but nobody cared.
It’s so sad that these vulnerable patients were traumatized even more by the staff. If they didn’t need therapy when they went in, they’ll surely need it now!
