My great grandmother had schizophrenia and she spent her life in and out of hospitals. She had horrible treatment, and our family believes my great aunt was fathered not by my great-grandfather, but a worker at one of the hospitals. She was a wonderful woman according to my mum, not violent just troubled. She just heard voices, she loved her family. She passed when I was a baby, but I’ve been told her funny stories my whole life. I’m proud to be her relative, what a strong woman she was and how the cards she was dealt were so cruel. She spent her last 10 years of life hospital free, comfortable and surrounded by family. I’ve been quite depressed lately, and I remind myself of how my family has fought through mental health again and again. She found happiness, and so can I.

It's a bit of a shame that it's taken on a less friendly connotation lately. I wonder if Batman (and the whole Arkham asylum thing) is partially to blame? Cause really, it should be such a nice term.

Remember tho, it’s only been around 13 years or so that many pscychiatric hospitals stopped treating patients like animals. Around the 80’s - 90’s In Brazil for example, a man called Austregésilo Carrano Bueno was locked up in a psych ward by his parents for smoking weed and was abused by the staff. He went through shock therapy, he was not allowed to visit his family, he was beaten, thrown in the solitary on many occasions, given medicine he was not prescribed for etc. This is an actual event that happened to an actual human being less than 50 years ago. His story was documented in a movie called “Bicho de 7 Cabeças” so if anyone wants to learn more, that’s a nice way to go. He also published a book called “Canto dos Malditos”, so that’s also a really good way to learn more abt his case.

My first intake, the nurse kept demanding to know why I was crying the whole time and wouldn't accept "I'm scared" as an answer. Ducking Susan.

5:17 you're shitting me. When I was in a ward it was LITERALLY that. Doctors forcing medicine on patients, security "securing" someone having a panic attack by pinning her to the ground and then (literally) throwing her into an isolation room-- BRUH when I got out I was WORSE. I still have freaking nightmares. County of Riverside Mental Health Facility. It was literally a giant room with chairs to sleep on. No activities, no outside time, no private places to retreat to if you had a panic attack. If an argument broke out or anything happened, security used excessive force. I was TERRIFIED the ENTIRE TIME. This was in 2019!!!!! I'm-- I'm genuinely so freaking mad. I've been avoiding reaching out for help because of my experiences.

Yeah, I'm happy for her that she had a better experience but my experiences with hospitals were much more like what you described. I was in constant fear of violence from other patients with severe anger problems, staff humiliated & degraded other girls in the ward with me... One girl was borderline SA'd by a staff member in front of all of us. There was old blood on one of the walls. Medicine was forced down your throat if you wouldn't take it willingly, even if you were having bad side effects. You would MAYBE be able to see the doctor once a week, even then you had to be lucky. We were not treated like people at all, just crazed animals. I also came out much worse each time, the ward gave extra trauma on top of the trauma I already wasn't getting help for - because they'd rather force meds on ppl than give adequate therapy. As much as I wish for mental wards to be safe & helpful, they are not in many cases, unless you can afford the luxury of a better ward. It's a shame - stories like this, while valid, can make it seem like more horrific ones are just being dramatic. They're not. There is still tons of ableism, malpractice, and abuse in many psych wards, but those who speak up are rarely heard or believed.

I remember after my last major suicide attempt, everything about me was physically fine but I didn't know if my body was secretly damaged so I worked up the courage to tell my older brother that I needed to get checked at a hospital to be safe. This led to me admitting to him what I did the night before and of course he told the rest of my family. He takes me to the hospital and there is literally nothing wrong with my body, but I am getting talked with a psychiatrist before being released just to be safe. This is when my father reaches the hospital and enters during the talk. He takes over the conversation to scream "If there is really something wrong with you, we will put you in an asylum till you are normal again. Is that what you want? Us to leave you there if you are depressed? Or is there really nothing wrong with you?". The psychiatrist had to ask him to leave the room. I don't tell them about this stuff anymore.

Same here in Algeria (North africa) From what I've heard about my cousin, who became depressed and even wandered on the streets for months before his family put him in a psychward, most stories about psychwards are horror stories that people use to gaslight you into thinking that "no" you don't need help. They also often bring faith and laziness into the mix??? Like how do you link me suspecting I have ADHD and depression with my relationship with faith and Allah? WTF. Like the stigma around it made it so hard. My mom doesn't believe what I'm going through is real and the fact that I need a psychiatrist not a psychologist (the one I went to were terrible). Like I went to a psychiatrist once and my mom refused to take me back for the second session where we were supposed to assess things. Anyway, I hope y'all survive what you're going through.

I was admitted into a mental hospital due to self-harm. My mom suddenly passed away from liver cancer in February this year. I initially coped with it through music, videogames, and the occasional cry. It was a rollercoaster of grief. The real bout of depression hit me like a truck in April. It was difficult getting any schoolwork done. I felt uneasy as this one big piece to my life remained empty. One day, I tried to help with how I felt by going outside and walking to my local sushi bar to treat myself. It was a great day. Only the next day on the bus ride home, I planned to take a knife to my arms and legs. I did just that when I got to my room. My dad noticed what I was doing. After a brief conversation, he drove me 20 minutes to the nearest mental hospital. I was there for a week. Honestly, it was the best week of my entire year. At first though, it was scary. I was still so shooken up. I felt uneasy in that sterile environment, but over time, it started to feel like home. I got used to sleeping on an uncomfortable 5" thick foam mattress with the door open and nurses checking on everyone every 15 minutes. The food was delicious. We did art together. We sat at a table to discuss various mental health related topics. My therapist there even recommended this book called "The Happiness Trap." I highly recommend it. I've learned some very good coping skills through that book and during my stay. Hell, I even bought my own copy. Everyone there was super sweet. Even the other patients there were awesome. I made five friends during my stay. We had a blast. There was one time we were playing duck-duck-goose in the enclosed outdoor space on the basketball field. We were wearing those same non-slip socks as you described except they ripped super easily. From running in circles during that game, we tripped, ripped our socks, and almost sprained our ankles. When anyone did get hurt, we all laughed it off. Such good times. What was cool was the nurses allowed us to turn on the TV during free time and let us choose what to watch or listen to. I had dibs on the remote a lot of the time and played barber beats and jazz from the Yakuza OST. I don't know how the other patients put up with me for so long, lol. Hands-down, that hospital was one of the best experiences ever. I came out of that place a changed young woman. Unfortunately, however, there have been some stories in circulation about bad experiences in similar facilities. So if anyone has to get into a mental hospital, I highly recommend you look at the reviews. Thank you for sharing your story, Illy.

I was sent there after community college drove me crazy. Only for a couple of days. It was not a pleasant experience. The room was chilly and the chairs were uncomfortable and the food was icky and I didn’t even bother to shower because I was afraid the water would be cold too. The pillows were wrapped in plastic under the pillowcase just like the orphanage and the nurses would rush in every few hours while I was sleeping to check my blood pressure. I was pushed to take a Zyprexa when I was admitted which turned me into a sludgy pile of lead but I wasn’t made to take any more medications afterwards.

All the things you said in this video are so meaningful to me and always hit me right in the heart. I love this and as someone who struggles with severe anxiety, I feel like I wouldn’t be scared going to psych ward anymore if I needed to which is amazing. Thank you, and also the advice you gave about people noticing when you disappear is amazing too and it helps a lot. Thank you.

And the range of disorders people had and range of ages of everyone didn’t really make for a great experience. I don’t know how other hospitals are, but the one I went to, Shoal Creek, was only good when I was admitted as a teen. Even the nurses know that the way that adults are treated at Shoal Creek is messed up. A nurse I had when I was admitted as a teen, actually warned me *against* going to Shoal Creek when I became an adult. The systems they have in place for adults is just atrocious and I wish we had had better nurses than the ones we got- a lot of them just kind of… I don’t know, I felt kind of talked down to…

“People will care if you disappear one day, they will notice, they will miss you more than you will ever know” That was everything I needed to hear, thank you illy

This is actually not true because if I was gone today others including yourself will movery, my family might care and they move on without me through time but it doesn't mean they won't miss me. It's those who have known you your entire life who will miss you when your gone because after them you have nobody left.

Thanks so much for this video! I myself have trauma related to mental health facilities and this was very helpful. Those horrible students is one of the reasons I struggle to seek help today and thanks for actually talking about that. If I someday get my courage back I will make sure to say that I under no circumstances want to have medical students watching or participate in my health. Thank you again ❤

“Have of us are gay, Susan” was my favorite line in the video

all the clips you showed before you admitted yourself really shows that people can hide what their actually feeling. if i had met you then i wouldn’t have suspected anything was wrong. makes me really sad that i’ve met people that are going through terrible things and are hiding it. truly feel sorry for them and you. i’m glad your doing better now. thank you for sharing this with us ❤️

I was involuntarily admitted to a psych ward back in 2012. I had been struggling with severe OCD, but didn't know what it was at the time. I'll never forget the doctor saying "he needs to stay", and crying my eyes out until we got to the actual ward. I was surprised at how nice all the other patients and doctors and nurses were. The night I was admitted was the worst night of my life, but the day I was released was one of the best.

During my first year of middle school, I was involuntary admitted into a mental hospital. I felt ashamed during my time away from my family, but even missed my older sisters birthday. Thank you for making this video and explaining the reality of what IS a psych ward. Gracias!!

This really makes me wish I had been admitted as a kid when I needed it, and super happy to see that other people got help of their own, thank you for spreading awareness on this!

I was admitted involuntarily when I was 12, and I can honestly say that in that terrifying time, the other patients I met there were some of the nicest people I had ever met. Thank you for making this, it will truly help so many people ❤️

Honestly I would say illy is my favorite animation story time KZreadr right now, I feel like I connect to a lot of her story’s. Some examples are I don’t like my body, I was bullied as a kid, I was super talkative, and honesty not going through the best time rn. She’s also really good at educating people on different topics, and it’s really nice. Thank you illy ☺️

I'm really glad you made this video, I think this going to help - not just a lot young people.... but some of us that are a bit older and just know this might be something they have to experience in life.

When I was 14, I was also admitted to one of these beloved hospitals. My experience was okay, but boy were there times I remembered. At one point in my week long vacation, a counselor in a group session ended up venting to US about her divorce and her soon to be ex husband. Very interesting. I'm much better now, and if you're in a place where you don't feel safe, or you're struggling, there is always someone somewhere willing to lend a hand. Please don't be afraid to speak out, carry on, you can do this!

I personally love seeing the "988" posters in the video and the links. my grandfather started this project and my family and I helped. we put an insane amount of work and I'm glad it paid off.

Thank you for this. I've been struggling for years and have been afraid to really seek help. But this makes me think that maybe I could, before I do something I'll never have the chance to regret

This video reminds me of that audio I heard on instagram , the one where a small boy asks an adult "whats the bravest thing you've ever said?" and the adult says "help , asking for help isn't giving up , it's refusing to give up" This video was amazing and I'm glad you felt safe enough to open up about it and realized that what u went through wasn't shameful or "dark" :)

It’s an animated story based on a book! Idk the name but it’s about a boy, fox, another animal I forget, and a horse. The kid asks the horse what’s the bravest thing, and he responds with help!

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse; a beautiful book

My best friend in 8th grade was admitted for a week after she'd been talking about wanting to end things. She'd also said she'd rather end it that go to another facility. I'd thought the worst and asked our shared teachers and friends if they'd known anything or had any updates. My friends knew nothing and the teachers said they couldn't talk about it with me, further solidifying my worst case scenario in my head. When she got back I was so relieved I cried and gave her the biggest hug. I think about her and reach out to this day. Someone cares and someone will miss you. Trust me.

I was admitted 5 times in high school, it can suck, it can be terrifying, but in the end it's worth it. Thank you for telling the stories of many of us who fought for ourselves. 💚💚

In my experience if you're able to and have someone that can help you look up places and read reviews, it's much better to do that and find a safe, therapeutic environment than let the hospital pick for you and potentially end up somewhere really crappy. I'm really thankful this was the case for me, and I ended up somewhere where people genuinely cared. Also the line "People will notice. People will miss you" gutted me. My ex took their life in front of my apartment (while I was home...) back in October and I miss them every day. I know they thought I didn't care anymore bc we broke up but I care more than they could have ever known. I was rooting for them to get better. And my treatment team in my outpatient facility (also can't recommend that enough if you need help but not quite on the crisis level) all met them, and they were all visibly torn up about them passing. They thought nobody cared. But so many people do. Things can get better if you put in the work and want to change. It's not easy. But it's worth it. You're worth the work. ♥

I involuntarily was admitted to a psych ward during middle school, everything that I had buried in my traumas had come up and when I got their all the doctors were so nice and the patients around my age were like me awkward and confused and figuring out the world.

It's so hard to talk about psych ward experience. I was 24, and my oldest daughter was 2, and I felt like I was going to ruin her life by being the crazy mom. One of the other patients was pregnant, and we ended up talking about her anxiety about becoming a mom, and I found that I actually had a lot of answers to her questions, which to me, meant that I was doing a decent job. Like, I didn't know everything, but my kid was happy and healthy. There was a guy who was obsessed with music, too, and I still had an old-school mp3 player instead of an iphone, so I got to keep that. I was able to play music for a bunch of us, and that gave us a lot to talk about. Also, there was the older man with tourettes who was always swearing, but played piano beautifully, and we sorta got used to the undercurrent of swearing and let it wash over us and away, and he was really sweet.
