i did an internship to eventually become a case manager and i can tell you a thousand things about how shady the mental health institution goes to work and how they don't give a single fuck about the patients and use them as test animals. it was an in-house healthcare for young adults with psychosis or heavy depression and they came there with complaints and it just got worse and worse, saw semi happy people turn into zombies slowly and pharmaceuticals system is the worst even when a patient doesn't need pills he must get it by the doctor or else he would get removed because without any medication it wouldn't be a a real treatment and you were asked to get treatment somewhere else, a girl was forced to choose between antipsychotics or antidepressants by the psychiatric doctor, he literally open his left and right hand and in a threatening way said this or that and if you don't take any of these medication you could go get treatment elsewhere, Those fuckker get paid by how much patients they shamelessly medicated I quit that day with my internship and education and went to work in the demolition site of my uncle and was incredibly relieved and happy not to have to deal with those devils anymore. really feel sorry for the people who go there with the best intention but most just get worse and more insecure and also dependent on unnecessary mental healthcare for life
only people with mild complaints re-enter society and the rest remain in purgatory
I'm glad you found out about that fuckery quickly and understand how that crooked system works and its the same everywhere
that actually sounds like a lot of places i've been. the good old nut hut. also have done partial hospitalization. the first place i went was for children, i was 11. this fat BIPOC who basically just got paid to babysit told us "you kids come here and you always come back." i've never forgotten how fucked up that was and how sad it made me. that was the worst place i went to, some really disturbing shit happened there. and i know all about the forced meds, that's all they want. you have maybe 3 group sessions a day then the rest of the time you're just sitting around waiting to talk to the doctor. last time i was there was in 2015, i realized it was a mistake and wanted to leave AMA. the doctor said "well if you do that im just going to make you stay here longer" i guess by saying i'm at risk and can't make decisions lol. it was over 1k a day to do nothing, thank god i had good insurance back then. seems like they just wanna keep you there as long as possible to collect more money. it's a racket. i wish i never took meds at all or wasted time at so called hospitals. i really admire that you decided not to go that route, based af. you seem like a genuinely caring, funny, upbeat person and being around all that would certainly take a toll on you. glad you found something else and we still have the geezerpleaser we know today.
hat was the worst place i went to, some really disturbing shit happened there. and i know all about the forced meds, that's all they want. you have maybe 3 group sessions a day then the rest of the time you're just sitting around waiting to talk to the doctor.
exactly the same shit happened there with some useless group therapy's and senior retirement home-like activities with group dinner etc
worst part was when it was time to move back home again, most didn't last for three days or more because they were used to being institutionalized
most disturbing time I have experienced in my life and the people who work there come with good intention but stay only for the monthly paycheck and make speed up time by making the work as easy as possible for them selfs
I'm glad that you came out of that system not completely mentally broken like most people who experienced that, because most just don't get out and get stuck in that toxic charlatan institute , especially if you go there at a young age
most times even the food is like a retirement home, or jail. i was detoxing off opiates so they said i was a fall risk and wouldn't let me go to the cafeteria or even make a request, it was total ass. so many people were just lingering there until they could get into residential treatment. i've always felt like what's the point of that or places like sober-living houses, especially when they stay there for years. you gotta learn to exist and function in the real world. a handful of staff seemed to care and were nice to talk to, after a while tho they gotta be burnt out. i'm just blessed to have supportive, understanding parents who've come around themselves. otherwise i could've ended up in a tommy situation lol.
