Literally dead, because I needed medical intervention... Not to mention I've known so many people personally, who psych words have saved their lives. Not all places are like this, and we've made leaps and bounds in terms of medical psychiatric care.

Leaving this on a top comment, in hopes that people will understand the nuance behind these issues, as this was not addressed in the new section. Since they just want to sensationalize this, instead of giving proper information that could actually help people. 2:59 This is the biggest problem, often times people are kept because there isn't a step down. People still need to be monitored, but they don't have a step down. (not speaking about this one.obviously clues something was wrong, since he was having residents fill out paperwork that he was supposed to be filling out), Other doctors I've spoken to are scared of letting somebody out, especially when they have suicidal ideation and having them kill themselves. They can then be sued. Psychiatric care, and being forced into the hospital saved mine and many people I love,lives. Almost every single person in the hospital, doesn't want to be there. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be there. I think if we had more intensive outpatient, and partial hospital patient programs, things would be a lot better. Those step-down programs, saved my life. I was able to continue to get treatment, while working on myself in the real world. I wonder if there are a lack of places in the state, like that. Even when Sarah says that she is not depressed anymore, and is no longer suicidal and would like to go home, that's not enough, in MOST cases.They have to show that you are no longer suicidal, through engaging with treatment But, the difference with her cases she actually had an outside psychiatrist. Which means she should have been released within 24 to 48 hours at the most. I went through something similar, where someone called the police on me to be punitive. I was released the next morning, because I was working with an outside psychiatrist at that point. But in general if you don't have an outside doctor you're working with, and you've said that, they have to hold you. Then if you proceed to continue to freak out while you're in there, they're going to hold you even longer. Typically every time I've tried to kill myself in the past, I was always held for a week. The only times it was a little bit over a week, was when they could not find a step-down program for me. Which was necessary for me to be released. Plus the more that you ask to be released, instead of focusing on treatment, the more that you're going to hurt yourself. There have been many times I've been in the hospital, and people are waiting on beds and that's why they're there. But this case seems completely different. I just wanted to note, when there are times that things may not make sense to outside people, but the person actually does have to be held. Even if they don't want to. I don't want the field of psychiatry to be demonized, or for people to not trust psychiatric professionals on a whole, just because of this bad apple. Just heartbreaking to me, that there's so many people I know in this comment section, who will not understand the context of this particular situation and will generalize things(as I've already seen). Which is very sad to me, I would have thought it would have been better if they had shown an example of when somebody truly needs to be held. Then people could understand the difference. It's a shame that the news organization didn't do that, and it seems like they just want to sensationalize things, instead of giving people the proper context....😢

I was 15 and saw a therapist. First visit she put me on anti-depression medication. It made me way worse and i tried to do something bad. I stopped those pills immediately (actually my bff at the time STOLE them from me in order to save me, cuz he saw how i was behaving, thank you to him) and just tried to self heal. Turns out all my issues went away soon as i left my family, of addicts and abusers. Something the therapist never even suggested could be the issue. I still have deep set mental health issues, but they’re manageable. I have a serious distrust of any mental health care now as an adult. Im scared to even seek help for my BPD or intense panic attacks. If i get put on bad medication again it might be the last time i do anything.

While I agree with you 1,000%, I'll play devil's advocate. Before the 1970s, all it took was a doctor like this to say you were mental off your rocker and you were institutionalized just like this woman was. Terrible, we all agree. The alternative is what we have today, where a large percentage of the homeless population is mentally unstable, taking over streets, committing crime, defecating on the street and causing all types of issues. But again, in this case, it's clear the doctor found a nice little way to enrich himself and if it's proven that he never actually did anything to evaluate these people (with a second, independent person backing his findings), he should be thrown in jail with not release date given!

This should be a criminal investigation for insurance fraud. The doctor can be prosecuted, do some time in prison & lose his license.

My French friend’s son would have been easily identified as ADHD and put on amphetamines if he was in America or UK. Luckily in the continental Europe, the teachers are not allowed to pressure parents in that way. It’s a normal growth. It’s actually abnormal to have an anal child with high “executive function” at age 10 or 13, or in terribly difficult and vulnerable teen years. That said, my friend’s son is hyperactivity didn’t cease, that’s how he is and he has been studying, skydiving, organizing student unions … no meds! He turned extremely successful, started his own business, got married to a great girl and planning kids. He is normal and very successful young man. Upbeat too. God knows if he was tagged ADHD as in serious 🧐 disorder that “needs” to be corrected by meds, God only knows if he would be normal now?! I know plenty of kids who decided to get off that - pardon my French - crap meds because it made them depressed and they hated the fact that they lost their childhood’s beautiful creativity by feeling strung on drugs and thinking that something was wrong with them. Not to mention that having kids on “meds” was a step closer towards using other drugs. We are not all the same, our mental states shift depending on what’s happening with us and around us. It would be better to have reading circles with variety of literature without ideological thematics and open forum discussions on various topics. This would be a much better and healthier way to help anyone with mental turbulences (we all have them) than meds and faux diagnostic of one or the other “disorder.” Art circles work!

It was by far the worst experience in my life. Had to stay 14 days and only saw Dr. Once for 5 min. To this day I have PTSD from that place and I was trying to get better.

You can tell them that you are considering it and any good professional will not lock you up on that basis alone. You will only be sent to a hospital if you have a plan in place, and/or an intent and means to harm yourself or others in the moment. Then, the professional will attempt to have you go in of your own free will, rather than having anyone take you away. It is only when you or someone else is in immediate danger, and you do not want to help yourself, that people are supposed to be hospitalized against their will. Some professionals jump the gun, and I'd consider those people to be unworthy of a license, but suicidal thoughts and depression symptoms are a common thing people see professionals for. If every person who has ever disclosed suicidal thoughts to a professional was hospitalized, we'd have far bigger problems than we have now, (and mind you, we already have significant problems in this field).

You are exactly right, I will never ever ever. I’ll deal or not but never ever ever. The dr see’s each patient for about 5 mins each day sometimes every other day. They do not have enough time to assess and diagnose, they barely even look at you. The. You end up with diagnosis that are ridiculous. It’s all about keeping you on that floor for as long as possible, it’s terrifying to have no say.

I was discharged yesterday from an inpatient psychiatric facility that I was forced to go to due to “policy and procedures”. I also have PTSD, was facing eviction due to financial struggles, and felt hopeless. I did not want to end my life. I did not want to hurt myself or anybody else. Held in the ER for 24 hours, forced to the facility for 72 hours and they were trying everything they could to keep me in there. It was absolutely traumatic. I feared they would keep me there for longer, I will NEVER seek emergent psychiatric care again-and I’m a Registered Nurse. This system is beyond broken and beyond repair.

I don’t blame you. It’s what you need to do to protect yourself from these abuses of power.

I had a friend who was just " thinking" of committing suicide, but did not attempt anything. She went to the emergency room, told them, hopeing for possibly a pill to calm her down. When the hospital said she would have to stay the night, she said no thank you, I will just go back home. The hospital told her if she tried to leave that they would send the police to her house. She was so scared, all she wanted was a little help. The next morning the hospital was going to send her to a psychiatric hospital and make her a " ward of the State". ANOTHER Doctor came in her room, asked her a few questions and she was let go to go home. That is the difference between two different diagnosis in less than 12 hour's. She went through Hell at that hospital for just asking for a little help. I felt so sorry for her!!!

They need to investigate hospitals in all 50 states. I was in one. My goal was to be there only a few days. 3 days went by and I was asking to go home so they marked me as involuntary meaning the doctor had to release me. They held me for 14 days. Every day I begged the social workers who would come by to help me. They never gave me any actual medicine that I needed. I would beg the doctor and he would say “hmmm I don’t know” so I just shut down. Stopped answering their questions. The nurses would gaslight me. I wish I could’ve filed a lawsuit or went to the press. I hope they investigate other mental hospitals.

Meanwhile, we can't find open beds for the patients who actually need psychiatric admission. Not only did this woman feel trapped, but at least one patient who might have wanted to be admitted wouldn't have the option while she was there.

I have a similar story. I am a Veteran with PTSD and TBI. I was having issues sleeping and went to the ER strictly to get help sleeping. They asked me if I was suicidal, I said no - I was just having issues dealing with stuff. The Psychiatrist told me: "I think you're suicidal. You wouldn't have came here otherwise. I can involuntarily commit you which will result in certain rights being taken away such as owning a gun.... or you can voluntarily commit yourself for 3 days and it won't affect anything". Needless to say I voluntarily committed myself.... once I was "committed" i was unable to leave for 72 hours no matter how much I demanded, begged and pleaded. I have not seen a psychologist since, nor will I ever. This happened in Michigan, as well.

There need to be better protections for patients against this kind of malfeasance.

Thank you for bringing attention and some balance to this abuse of power.

I just wanted to talk to someone but next thing I know s sheriff's deputy shows up and handcuffs and shackles me. I'm driven 2 hours too Raleigh, a hell hole called Holly Hill Hospital. The commitment paperwork said I was phycotic and suicidal. This was blatantly false. They wanted to keep me for 21 days. Like this poor lady I had a cat 😺 at home that needed tending.

I had to walk from the mental hospital to the nearest bus stop. They said they were going to keep me for THREE. FULL. WEEKS! Guess when they found out I had no insurance, they didn't care anymore. It was The Vines mental hospital in Ocala, FL.

God, it really makes you _want_ to go through with ‘it’, even if you voluntarily intake for the exact opposite purpose 😓 I hope you’re doing better in recent days, much love from New Zealand🤍(where our MH system is overwhelmingly better, yet still pretty atrocious. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been involuntarily held less than 24 hours & not having to pay a dime)

@@xochil1621 similar to a 5150 when you say you have thoughts of harming yourself or others you are put in an involuntary hold in a mental health facility. I believe Florida is one of the few places in the USA that has something like this.

My psych ward also kept me longer than I needed. I begged to leave but they only thought I was crazy for begging. They didn’t even do anything for me! Its disgusting

I was diagnosed with ptsd and I was told I would be evaluated for a psychological profile. After being admitted to a psch ward. I was told it's time for your medications I told the orderly I wasn't on any meds and I was there to be evaluated. I refused the meds and was forcefully restrained be four orderlies and given a toxic overdose of thorozine. Which caused me to go into convulsions and blurred my vision to the point of blindness. Then I was evaluated. I eventually was put in the care of another doctor after going into cardiac arrest from the overdose of thorozine. He doubted my story until he verified my story with documentation and I was eventually released.

Please keep exposing these predators!!!!

This happened to me in Boston. It wasn’t until I contacted the number a nurse slide under my pillow for the HR complaint line. Same with me, within 3hours I was well enough to leave. I had also signed myself in after my marriage broke up and insomnia. This makes me sick to my stomach. Thank you for bringing this to life!

Don’t answer that question, false sympathizers try to get private information online all the time. You do not need to reveal your location to anyone online.

Im from Pittsburgh, and this has happened to me 3 times actually, and 2 of those times the psych ward that I was in ALMOST KILLED ME!!! They had given me a bad mix of counteracting medications(one for which I already KNEW that it would be a horrible idea to take given my brain chemistrys situation JUST BY ITSELF let ALONE along with TWO OTHER COUNTERACTING MEDICATIONS!!!??? The prescribing 'doctor' aka THE epitomy of hopelessness/fear being that after asking her while i was on the floor in the beginnings of what was going to be a series of violent tremors that later turned into seizures and violently vomiting ANYTHING I would try to ingest, including a tiny sip of water, thus me losing 26 lbs in just a 10 day period making me btw a mere 5foot 97lb trainwreck of a person! That is just VERY MUCH putting this horrific story as lightly and simply as i possibly can without writing so much that I am afraid my time writing this will be in vein...so I will just rap my story up with the final conclusion...I had got pulled aside very hurriedly in an emergency goings on looking situation at mh local giant eagle by my pharmacist for him to ask me if I was okay with him asking if he could take my pulse askibg me if my heartbeat felt fast along with alotof other questions and he COULDN'T BELIEVE where I got prescribed this deathlt concoction of meds because he said all these red flags popped up immediately after me turning in my scripts to be filled and turns out that I was right(not the doctor) and I wasnt having panic attacks they really were seizures they gave me a life threatening situation called serotonin syndrome and I was on thr brink of DEATH if i would have stayed in that place for another day I could of been dead! I have permanent heart arrhythmias now, which really sucks sometimes but im happy i am alive and i was about to have a strong will power to live and was able to adapt to my ill fight or flight situation life or death! pushing on and praying for all those helpless souls that are in there fighting for their lives as well😢❤💔🤦🏻‍♀️🙏💯 PS- I also as well understand dearly how the laws are to help us but when we sign our selves in we should have certain rights regardless if suicidal thats my opinion that is of course if u are not suicidal anymore for 24 hours and seem to be real and genuine about it ya know?❤

The records *should* be kept electronically in a way where the time & other info cannot be changed.

it is astounding to me any adult can have another adult committed to a psych hospital. be careful what you say to psychiatrists and family. they are not there to help you. i was incarcerated in a psych ward. my parents called and said i was suicidal. i was sad. but not suicidal. the police woke me up and threw me against the wall and handcuffed me. took me to the hospital. i was strip searched. given a gown that didn't close. my phone was taken. i saw no doctors. i was handcuffed to a bed most of the day. i insisted i was not suicidal. they said i had to spend the night. i was locked in a room with a plastic bench to sleep on and a thin blanket with holes in it. the tv could not be turned off or the channel changed. bc i said little except that i was not suicidal they let me go at 6am the next morning. said they had no reason to keep me. my psychiatrist was supposed to see me but couldn't make the time to come to the hospital. my psychiatrist threatened to put me back in there if i didn't "straighten up" and was treating me like a bad child. she said "i can take your phone and have you locked up anytime" i stopped seeing her. the psychiatrists are not good people. they push pills, they threaten to put you in the psych ward. they are not out to help you. i now see a pro bono therapist. we have made more progress than i ever did with the shrink. i don't trust psychiatrists for anything anymore.

I was kept for over two months at Western Psych in Allegheny county. Initially, I went there on my own for suicidal ideation without an intent to harm (meaning, feelings of wanting to die but knowing that I won't act on it). They kept me for so long that they transferred me to a long-term stay unit that looked more like an apartment. No medications they were giving me were helping at all because I needed therapy. Not pills. They used the same tactics on me to stop me from fighting. I had no help from the outside, leaving me entirely at the mercy of the hospital. The amount billed to medicare was staggering.

Sign should read "walk-ins welcome, WALK-OUTS NOT ALLOWED". MANY patients need a representative to advocate for them. MANY patients simply need a short vacation and possibly some outpatient type counseling or group therapy. MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE!

That’s why they warn against calling those suicide hotlines. People have had their addresses traced and were suddenly dragged to a mental facility, which worsened their anxiety & depression rather than help alleviate it.
