I remember my first time on a psych ward, it was so scary because of those on Thorazine. They were mostly strapped into chairs to keep them from bumping into things. That was in the 1980’s and they were still handing out Thorazine like candy. Made me absolutely terrified to take any meds but they wouldn’t let me out unless I agreed to take AD( don’t recall which one, probably Prozac) and phenobarbital.
