From this thread it seems like psychiatric hospitals are a mixed bag. I'm so very sorry {{{{{MP, myself, and anyone I missed}}}}} had those experiences. They sound like horrible nightmares!

Sleeps, your mention of *bedlam* reminded me of a book I read while I was in grad school: Bedlam: Greed, Profiteering and Fraud in a Mental Health System Gone Crazy by Joe Sharkey. It was a good read - fiction but making valid points. I highly recommend it.

Again MP...soooooo glad to see you again!!!!!!
