What a beyond horrible experience some of you have had ..I was lucky I guess when I did my time on a psychward it was a nice regular hospital with a psychward on it...all nurses , no guards....you were allowed to NOT do stuff and I oddly got my own room down a wing by myself cause I needed some sleep...otherwise they did make you room with someone...though I bet if one had bucks they didnt have to.....my point is not all of these places are bedlam but man I hope I never go in again after reading a few of these...also if you don't have mental health insurance you get out faster ...sad but true
