Grrrrrrr! Such a patronising stupid statement from that "doctor"
You're better equipped to assess your mental "state" than he was.
I'm sorry you were in that place and it was so ... "sub optimal"
I've never been inpatient - I don't think they would accept bears any more than I would accept them

I think we need to take anything these "doctors" say with a bucket load of salt - far too often they don't listen, and utterly fail to understand... it pisses me off!
