Gypsymama do you by any chance happen to be well-insured? Because that was how I got stuck in a psych ward. I self-admitted but was lied to about when I would be able to leave and when they found out I had good insurance they kept me for longer than the required three days even though I was no where near suicidal or violent.

I was never restrained and i was too drugged to realize it then but a lot of the stuff that happened to me was morally and medically unethical and I wish that I had made complaints after it happened.

No medical professional can legally disclose YOUR medical information, like being bipolar, to ANYONE much less to local law enforcement without your permission. If a police office asks a nurse if you've received a tetanus shot they can't answer. I think something is really not right here.

Also, I just saw that you are in Ohio and that is where I was hospitalized so i'm wondering if it was the same or a similar area...
