If you do, how it is?, what do you do?
I go to one but it has few resources, so the activities are made everyone can make them, the lower lever, which is mild cognitive delay, so I don't fit on any activities and can't participate, which is frustrating. I have talked with the psychiatrist which is also my therapist and the hospital chief about it, but I want to know other people experiences __________________ Crazy, inside and aside Meds: bye bye meds CPTSD and some sort of depression and weird perceptions "Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a

I went to one years ago and didn't enjoy it at all. It was the only one I have ever attended. I didn't get much out of it.
The day hospital was for adolescents. The program operated after school from 4:30 to 8 pm. I stopped going after a few months, because my experience wasn't pleasant. The place didn't promote recovery. Staff were more interested in power and control than in helping us. It also felt like I was in a prison, since it was a part of the inpatient unit. We would cook meals, talk, do crafts, and go for walks. The group was very small which was the only thing I liked about it. __________________ Dx: Didgee Disorder |

I went to day hospital once and had a good experience. Except we kept getting new people and it was hard to connect with people. Just as soon as you got to know someone they would leave and someone new would come in. I did like the group classes though; I learned a lot about relaxation techniques and such.

I have been in two day hospital programs
One was generic for people who were recently discharged from hospital, and the other was specifically for people with schizophrenia The generic one was terrible, they had "lessons" during group therapy sessions time and they taught about bipolar, anxiety and depression, but mentioned nothing about schizophrenia or psychosis. I couldn't relate to anyone there and it was just a bad experience. The one that was tailored for people with schizophrenia was better and I didn't want to leave. I went there after I got discharged from inpatient treatment too but it was structured more. We had a daily time for practicing brain exercises to help cognition and we had a psychiatrist come in once a week to answer questions about meds and antipsychotics. We met with a psychiatrist once a week and a therapist for group and individual therapy. It was great. |

I've been in a hospital day program and should be in one now but I'm too physically sick to participate consistently and that's kind of a required thing I cannot commit to. It seemed like a good place when I attended. Everyone was in pretty severe crisis of various kinds and we broke off into different groups and had more intensive groups. I just don't like sharing about myself in groups and had a very bad nearly assaultive situation occur after a group setting so I'm leery, but some people were graduating daily and mentioning how much the place helped save their lives. So must be some good stuff.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
