If you get attacked while in the ward, they do not allow you to press battery or assault charges.
I started crying because I was overwhelmed with the attacked questions and them not understanding what I was trying to tell them. The psychiatrist got confused and had to keep asking more question that weren't even relevant to what I was talking about. Focus on the patient understand the concerns we pay money to come to you for help. If someone wanted medication we would say it not have it potentially thrown in are face without even looking at the overall causes. Sorry for the ramble but they need some serious management adjustments or some "real" people who actually will take the time to understand.
I just think its a joke. I was there for about 2 hours before I was even called. I finally got called in and they started asking me questions and asked why I was there. Its complete obvious for help. That's not even it. In the middle of me talking I got interrupted a lot with questions that where not even of what I was talking about I was getting really annoyed with it. I believe all they wanted to do was stick me on medication. All they kept saying was "medication". I don't even think they diagnosed me with the right thing. I am completely unsatisfied like a total waste of my time.
Every stable person in here was forced to stay!
They refuse to discharge individuals whom have a home and a job, yet they let unstable people who live on the streets FREE TO GO!
Went for psychotherapy and had The best experience thanks to Dr.Gleason she's a resident psychologist and really was just beyond wonderful. I'm very thankful for all her help. The place was overall clean just kind of old. The wait time is only 5-10 minutes for outpatient. Pretty decent place.
Staff was incompetent and could not help me find my scheduled appointment. Once I finally made it to the office, late, the doctor would not see me. I was paying out of pocket without insurance nearly $800 and was treated worse than trash. I hate seeking help because this is what I get.
This place is dangerous. It is basically a homeless shelter, filthy and dangerous. You can get attacked at any time in the ward. It is also co-ed. The doors are not even locked at night so a male can come into female rooms, as the staff doesn't seem to care about the events happening. Their reply was, "it's the psych ward, I've seen worse"
If you want to get help I would not recommend this place. I have never been so rushed to get to a certain point just so at the end they tell me I need medication. I refused to take it and they basically said "oh well without medication its almost impossible to help you". Like no I think this is completely wrong, how can you over look something especially if I am sitting there telling you what's wrong.
This place is not good for the mentally ill. I was a patient there in the children's psych ward three times and the conditions were horrible. I was once put in a room with a male two years older than me that came in shackles and I was threatened with rape. At one point I got my hands on many push pins, very useful for a previously depressed and self-harming teen. I had pills that weren't mine in my pocket and they never even knew. Once a 9 year old buy was put in the same room as me. That's a 5 year difference. If I had a disorder that made me violent, he could've been dead. They put me on meds without telling me what it was and forced us all into our rooms for hours when a girl needed sedatives. Disgusting place.
