that's one of my biggest fears. not being listened to or treated like a human. like we are already struggling. these places are supposed to make you feel comfortable and safe instead of making you feel even worse. that's why i have been avoiding checking myself in for so long and almost being involuntarily admitted scared the shit out of me.

Its so important to check the bodies of patients. It can be uncomfortable but the benefits outweigh the risks. I know from multiple first hand accounts from patients that in mental health facilities and as a health care professional that you can be attacked by other patients or assaulted by staff, more commonly people do still hurt themselves while hospitalized and we need to keep track of this as well as gain an understanding of how far the self harm has gone with a patient prior to afmission. This is why body checks are vital.

I had trouble walking and had trouble eating much at all for months. It became life threatening when I could barely drink any fluids. When I was admitted they strip searched me , cavity searched as well, searched all my belongings most of which I could not keep during my time in hospital, I had forced mds, I was force fed in the sense that if I did not eat voluntarily they would restrain me and feed me thur nasal gastric tube to stomach which was traumatic and painful. I was watched 24/7 cause they said I was a danger to myself. No phone calls for 2 months of a 5 month hospitalization. They put 20 pounds on me which I promptly lost within a few months of discharge because of trauma I experienced. Forget to mention I use attacked twice by other patients on ward having phycotic episodes before they were restrained unprovoked as I stayed to myself most of the time. There was only one other patient I liked and we would play board games and watch the tv in dayroom area. All and all a horrible experience and caused PTSD in me and I lost complete trust in mental health care in the us

i’ve been contemplating checking myself in soon. my last 2 visits weren’t the best, with the first visit having the sheriff come and handcuff and ankle cuff me with a chain connecting the two and rolling me out on a wheelchair in front of all the other er patients like i was some kinda criminal even tho i had been 100% compliant the whole time and only told the psychiatrist that i wanted to go home which apparently warranted my status to change from voluntary to involuntary just like that. my second trip i was able to finesse my way out of it and was only there for about 4 hours i think. honestly im really hoping that this time if i do get transferred to a psychiatric hospital again they’ll put me in an ambulance, because i don’t think i can handle the treatment the sheriff gives again. that was completely ridiculous and he was totally unsympathetic about it. i genuinely felt like i was a dangerous criminal in his eyes, not worth being nice to.

In 2021 year I want to admit myself to a hospital for chronic depression. I was afraid to go back I've heard horror stories about patients not treated well.

How does an involuntary admission affect you?

So if at any time you decided I’m okay now, and you were technically voluntarily there, and decided I want to leave what would the process have been like and what would have had to done to be able to leave? Also if you are under 18 and are put in a mental hospital because of your parent(s) are you able to leave at 18 or is there certain things you must do before you are able to leave?

First of all, I'm sending you all the positive energy that I can. These situations are not easy to deal with and you are brave for reaching out for help. If you are admitted voluntarily, you can ask to start the process to leave at any time. I do not know how it is handled at other facilities, but for the one I was at I would have needed my emergency contact to okay the decision for me to be discharged as well as wait 72 hours. I thought about checking myself out, but with the mental state I was in at the time, it wasn't worth going through the hassle to only get discharged a few days sooner. During my stay there were multiple patients who expressed interest in checking themselves out. I can only remember one who went through the process. If you are admitted involuntarily, it is up to the doctor when you are discharged.

should i go to the ER to get checked out? I've been having lots of panic attacks this weekend because of work

Not the support I get as a male. No hugs. Lots of eye rolls... and made to feel like I shouldn't be upset.

Do you have to pay for this? Does insurance cover it? My only worry about doing this is putting myself in debt because I’m gonna owe $10,000 after staying there for more than a few days

I don't have advice on how to hide them, but taking care of any wounds you have (keeping it clean, using Neosporin, those types of things) will help to make them heal faster and not as pronounced. There are also creams and other products you can use to help with the fading once the wounds have scarred over. My biggest suggestion would be to reach out for professional help in your area. I know it's scary, but getting professional help is the only way I was able to control those thoughts and urges in myself. If you need help finding a professional in your area, feel free to reach out to me privately! I know you're struggling, but there are people out there who are more than willing to help.

From what I can tell, it depends on the state. Some states allow minors to check themselves in, others require minors over the age of 13 to, and others require parental permission. If parental support is not an option, I would strongly suggest you talk to another trusted adult like a teacher or a doctor. They can help you take the next steps you need to take care of your mental health.

Wanting to admit myself today.

This is terrifying and not how its done in my country. We are not stripped down to a hospital gown and can always wear our own clothes, unless you have like overdosed and are on cardiac monitoring in the ED or something like that. They dont just take your clothes off you as standard practice. They dont make us strip down, and document all the marks on our bodies or anything. This is so so horrific. As far as transferring between hospitals they do often transport via ambulance, but you wouldnt be strapped down in the back of the ambulance in a gown on your own, or to the stretcher with your arms and legs restrained. That is so barbaric. Here in my experience many times you normally would be given the choice between laying on the stretcher, or sitting in the chair in the back of the ambulance. There would also always be someone in the back with you. I have also been able to go with my own support workers to transfer between hospitals - this saves the hospital system resources, so they will usually agree to this if you are not really unstable. Depending on what hospitals I've gone to and how busy things are, and what the bed situation is, sometimes when I've been suicidal I've been taken through straight away, or pretty quickly, other times I've been left waiting alone, or waiting with a support person in the waiting room sometimes for up to 8 hours. When your waiting alone for long stetches in the waiting room by yourself its so hard, and you really question whether getting help was the right decision. Here we dont have mental health assessments centres, we just get put in a normal ED bed with a security guard watching you, or if they are really worried about you, they put you in basically a padded room with a guard watching you until there is a bed free in the mental health ward. It's a terrible experience having guards everywhere in ED watching people and trying to fall asleep with guards watching your every move. It is not uncommon for mental health patients to wait for up to 72 hours in ED for a bed in the Mental Health ward. The environmentis reallynot suitablein so many ways. It also causes so many issues, and theres always so much discussionin the media, and on the internet, and in the health sector about mental health patientsbeing the cause of bed blockages in ED because they are taking up so many ED beds waiting for a bed to come up in a MH ward. Its not great always hearing how MH patients are the cause of the problem, but them not doing much to add more supportor resources to reduce the need for MH patients to end up in ED in crisis. We also do not have all of our property taken off us to get admitted to the mental health wards, and we are not metal detected. The security in ED have metal detectors, but they use them in response to specific concerns or worries, not with every single person as a standard practice. When we get admitted to the ward our bags are checked by staff. Things like phone cords, sharps (like in your toiletry bag manicure set or shaver), aerosole deodorants, perfume, hand sanitiser etc are locked away in your drawer or in a tub with staff depending on the ward. I always have my teddy, my own blanket, some of my sensory modulation stuff, my phone and noise cancelling headphones 🎧 etc with me when I go into hospital. We have a few differences types of units, and they can vary slightly in name depending on which state your in, but have pretty similar functions. We have Acute inpatient wards, and PICU - Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, basically an Inpatient ward for people who need higher acuity care. We have Rehabilitation services. We have MH Short stay wards where the admissions are likely to typically be around 72hours or less and people are linked into community supports. We have SRF - Secure Rehabilitation Facility and CRC Community Rehabilitation Centres which are located in different regions so people can continue their rehabilitation in their community. We also have the Step up Step down facilities called ICC where people may step down from hospital into to ICC Intermediate Care Centre, or step up into the ICC, when they don't quite need to be in an acute ward anymore, or are struggling at home and need additional support so their care is stepped up into the ICC. We also have the Childrens/Youth Inpatient ward, the Older Persons MH wards, Eating Disorders ward, theres also the forensic services. Then there is obviously all the Teams that fall under Community Services. There are so many different things under this umbrella and I definitely can't name them all off the top of my head but would include things like Police and Ambulance Co-respondener Models where a MH Clincian responds to MH related calls with a Police officer and Ambulance officer to be able to provide a MH assessment and assistance to people experiencing MH related distress and try to avoid them being transported to ED for assessment where possible. It would also include Triage team, the Centre for Treatment of Anxiety and Depression, Hospital in the Home service where consumers are visited and assessed each day, sometimes more than once a day instead of being in hospital. It would also include the team in the community that are supporting people who are not in hospital/some places call this outpatient treatment but here we mostly refer to it as community teams or similar except in the private system. I have met some of my closest lifelong friends through the mental health system - others who understand pain and struggling and the fight every day to keep going. I hope you have found your tribe since filming this video. Thanks for sharing. I will watch more of your videos.

But it saved my life and put me on a path to recovery that I would not be on otherwise. You have so much strength for dealing with all of the pain that you deal with everyday. You're a fighter. You're a survivor. And you can do this. I know it's scary to talk about these things, but talking about it is the first step to getting better. Sending you all the strength and positive energy that I can. Feel free to reach out if I can help with anything or if you have any questions about my experience in the hospital. All my contact info is in the description box. 💓
