I stopped counting. The problem was they keep giving me ADs which kept me in mania or mixed episodes and that exacerbated my PTSD. The best place was a ward for trauma. It was a small unit with mostly single rooms and much more relaxed than the other units. The majority were helpful. Back in the 80's and 90's they kept you longer. Now days I hear there's not much therapy and you're out before you get stabilized. I thank god I'm stable now cause I hear terrible things about the hospitals near me now.
