this happened to me too. i thought all the patients were planning an escape and that if i didnt go with them they were gonna kill me along with the staff but i thought they also had a plan to kill me once we got out the doors. so i panicked. and the staff locked me in the seclusion room and i told the staff what was gonna go down lol
then i also had a room mate like twice (luckiliy they almost always gave me my own room) i was always afraid my room mate would kill me in my sleep

Jails and psych wards have some commonalities I’ve been in both, but the people at the psychiatric hospital seemed a little more docile than the jail inhabitants.

Dang that sounds like a horrible experience. It’s appalling that there’s that kind of treatment going on in hospitals.

It has been varied experiences for me. I have had good experiences with nice people but sometimes there has been other patients there who made me uncomfortable. There was this one guy who shook my hand while he starred angrily at me, then wanted to arm wrestle and proceeded to let all the female workers there know that he won.

theres also the gross stories in these places. i dont have too many. but i remember at one there was this old man who prob had dementia. he pooped himself and it fell out his pant leg on the floor. and at another hospital there was a man who everyday after dinner would throw up all over the hallway. oh and one i was at there was this man who had to be watched so his door was open with an aide sitting there watching him and he would just be in there masturbating all day long and if u walked by u would sometimes see it.

@anon29983254 I still need to take anti-psychotic medication. My schizophrenia is genetic & hereditary and there is no way to recover from it fully.
The reason why I am intelligent is because I went through years of College, University and technical school courses. I was fortunate to learn as much as I did and retain & recall what I learned.

Psych ward is so dangerous, I saw a prisoner and there were gaurds around him. And I was so scared to even look at him or make eye contact.
And the screams it always a different kind of screams.
Where as children section made me speechless and silent for a week and was in deep thoughts.

Everyone, thank you for all your stories and thoughts on the psych ward; it has convinced me to never go there and to trust what my parents said about it. As I talked with my dad about this post, and the convincing nature it has had with anecdotal experiences, he said he was glad that I believed him now.
Thank you everyone for the insights into your experience with the psych ward, and if you wish to continue this discussion, by all means go ahead and give your story.

It is a necessary evil in some cases when you are out of control. I don’t think there are very many people that would choose to go there unless they seriously needed help.

Nasty places, and the other lunatics would harass me. They just cannot help themselves. I should have socked a few people in the past. One of my regrets.

Mental Health Care in Denmark has one of the higest standards in the world. Yes it has the same High class as Trumph Towers. No one in my country dislike the High standards of our mental hospitals. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was Replubican, saver and investor and wanted to save tax payer money I would move permanent into the mental ward. You get your own luxury room and can go to the restaurant in the hospital and get your luxury meals for free. Many of the nurses in the ward are very attractive and young Dames. And they are simply so sweet. Damn it I cannot get my eyes of those beautifull women when I’m at the ward that happens once every decade.
The Doctors are very, very high skilled workers and if you want one of the new meds like Latuda or Rexulti you just ask for those because every thing is payed for by public health care. But to save taxpayer money I’ve never asked for those.
