Hi Twirls,
I thought about reporting it but it was the police who came into my treatment facility where I was receiving care for a few weeks to learn some better coping skills etc. The cop said that it was their practice of handcuffing mental health patients for their safety but this is not standard practice at least in the city where I live. They treat you as people who need care and appear to be more knowledgeable of the illness. I was not threatening anyone or anything and how could I escape while being baker acted? I might just contact NAMI for the first time and inform them, but I feel it's probably a waste of time. However the fact that the facility would not give me any medical meds unless I took all meds such as their new psy med Geodon is reason to notify someone of this practice. Thanks for your concern and support. I hope to get to know you better so maybe I can help you.
