I searched for a psych ward in Prague, and look what I found, a hospital with beautiful surroundings...

I like to give information if that can help others on their way. People always choose for themselves!
Hi @Rosi700. I'm sorry for such a delayed response. I'll admit that I've done a bit of avoidance lately, as a type of coping mechanism. I even refused to talk to my sister on the phone a few days back, when she asked if I wanted to. I know avoidance isn't always good, though. With limitations. Anyway, I'm better now than I was right before your post above.

I believe I know what you're referring to about the "box for translations". I think there might even be phone apps that do similar. I certainly should look into that, perhaps not to totally depend on, but rather as a backup.

The psychiatric hospital Bohnice is the most well-known in Czech Republic. In fact, many here even say "Going to Bohnice" to mean any psychiatric hospital or even casually about a person who acts a little wild. My husband's nephew has been there as a patient in the past, and said it is pleasant. It is more so nowadays than in the past, though. I learned about that hospital a long time ago. My father-in-law, whom I never met, was a psychiatrist in Prague.


Thank you for caring and reassuring me, Rosi. You are a dear person!
