i was admitted here in January 2022 as an adolescent with thoughts of suicide. for some background info this was not my first psych ward. i immediately knew this place was different when i was admitted. for those of you who don’t know/ haven’t been in this situation you are required to strip to be checked and they are required to take photos of self-harm scars if present, which they didn’t do. further more i wasn’t seen by a counselor until day 2, or a doctor until day 4. the counselor, Ms. Tasha was helpful, i opened up to her about my disorders and my feelings. however, i never saw my doctor for more than 10 minutes each time he visited, and when i did i was only asked the same 5 questions. the questions only had to do with my medicine, sleep, and appetite. my doctor was also unaware that his nurse put me on adderal. most techs did nothing and only interacted when it came to the basic necessities of their job. with the exception of Ms. Laura Lee, Ms. Cathy, and a few others. overall it was an awful experience and if your child truly needs mental help, i highly suggest that they aren’t sent here.
