This was certainly the case for me. With each successive episode I became angrier at how I was treated by so called medical professionals. It was worse than the way animals are treated where I live at times. The last time I was put in a forensic psychiatric ward for a month and charged with things like evading police, because I was afraid of police as they had been banging on my doors repeatedly. Eventually they broke my door down, ransacked my house and dragged me off. While I was handcuffed one officer pinched my upper arm and left a big bruise on it.
I had some delusional beliefs and was acting on those beliefs. In retrospect it was a very dangerous situation even though the actual charges were trumped up. For instance they said I ran a red light but there is a camera there (and no photograph because I didn't run that or any light) and eventually had to drop all the dangerous driving charges because that part was clearly made up and therefore the rest of what the officer had to say was unreliable.
My experience with hospitalization where I live has been nothing short of horrible. The best option I to take an AP every day so I don't start having thoughts that I am part of a conspiracy to take over the world.
