People who have been to psych wards, what was your experience like?

^^^^the lower ranking of plastic surgery there is an illusion since it appears to lumping in your average med spa botox "plastic surgeon" in there.

The following is more accurate:

 
I am speaking on someones behalf - they haven't got me yet.

69-70 yr old women dragged out of her own house with NO WARRANT NO CAUSE OF ARREST; NOT A REASON FOR DETENTION! (and yes these tthings were stated loudly, laughed at as they put there hands on their pistols and entered.)

Said person is very mentally stable; actually placed the call to the police because of gunshots on the property.

So dragged out of house brought to hospital 2-3 hours away (not the nearest hospital but one that is in line with the police)

Before she even made it to the elevator she had been injected with katamine several times. She was NOT brought to a a doctor for assessment.

Said person was on 4mg xanax a day (for over 30 yrs) *seizures and stress* Lamictal *for seizures* lyrica *for seizures* and a couple SSRI type things.

THEY PULLED HER OFF OF ALL OF IT WHILE ON THE PSYCH WARD, (these are legit scripts). In addition to taking away three seizure medications they decided to throw her on olanzapine (lowerd the seizure threshold).... She says she was treated very similar to jail; upon arrival everyone wanted to see her paperwork; than she was alright with the 'inmates' so to speak.

When she got out it took over a year to get her xanax script back despite no abuse whatsoever. Lamictal too. She dumped the lyrica but that was her decision.

They tried to do the same thing to me on the way to get groceries in the morning. THANK GOD I got a DOC ASSESSMENT BY A DOC WHO WASN'T IN POCKET!!!!

I'm kinda surprised otolaryngology is so high on the list, definitely not what I expected
 
I was in the psych center when I was 15-16 (yeah, I spent my 16th birthday in the psych hospital)… it wasn’t too bad. We had two kids in there that were EXTREMELY violent, but other than that, it was mostly suicidal kids and kids who were anorexic. Quite a few were CSA survivors, unfortunately. I was one of the few who had already been doing hard drugs at the time. I went through opioid withdrawal while there, which SUCKED. But other than that, it was pretty good. They kept the boys and girls separated (we were horny teenagers, lmao) so that was pertinent. But it was pretty helpful.

The adolescent ones are definitely way more chill than the adult ones. The first psych ward I ever went to was when I was 16, went to the ER for heroin OD. They ended up putting me in the children's psych ward, not for behavioral issues, but because they don't have detox places for kids.

The adult psych wards have a very haunting and sad atmosphere. The overarching presence of madness and utter despair pimps those places. Much more fucked up and depressing, and much less compassion from staff.

I agree, about the children's being more chill (first time I was was when I was 16 as well and for cocaine- it was just a shortcut to get into treatment) and about the depressing haunting atmosphere in some of them for adults. The REAL fucked up places are the ones for the old people- the way they're treated is so messed up it makes me so mad to even think about, because I witnessed ut myself after getting moved to their ward back in 2016 for a day after getting caught...getting it in with a guy I met in there😂 but in all seriousness, talk about haunting...

Its because that list is tightly correlated with earnings, and otolaryngologists are on the higher end of the pay scale. They do alot of surgical work, and many also do elective cosmetic work, like nose jobs etc.

I don't fully agree with the top end of that chart though, neurosurgery is a more competitive specialty generally speaking. But its about right. And its all tied to earnings.

Psychiatrists used to get paid more back when insurance covered psychoanalysis. But somewhere in the early 1980s insurance companies wised up and realized psychoanalysis wasn't evidence based to improve patient outcomes, so they switched to only covering short medication consults. The pay for psychiatrists dropped and it became a undesirable field. Now its staffed by the physicans who rode the short bus to medical school. These days few enter med school wanting to become psychiatrists; they end up as psychiatrists because they can't compete for other specialties, and its way easier/less work than Family Medicine. So not only are they dumb, they're lazy.

The old, old dudes who are still in psychiatry are often alot brighter, but people going into the field now are the bottom of the class.
 
Nurses watched me uncontrollably thrash around from extrapyramidal symtoms tp the extreme end resembling parkinsons, id thrash my neck and legs and just was ignored why couldnt they have given me a muscle relaxant >:[
Im an IV user and the couldnt find a good enough vein so the used one on my hand it hurt bad i think the went through uthe vien, i couldve done it myswlf lol.
I was there from 2am to 12pm and was given one abilify 10mg and a glass of milk (im lactose intolerant, but my aphasias were making speech incomprehendable)
Thankfully im no longer feelin like a parkin-son-of-a-bitch
 
One time I was there, a guy down the hall kept shitting on the floor in his room. Didn’t matter who was around. He’d get out of bed, pull down his pants, and take a shit.
Other than that, he was quiet and slept most of the time.

You see lots of stuff like that its sad. It was bt far the most depressing places ive been in
 
It was very sad.
I’ve been to 3 different ones.
Suffocated by the eerie, empty feelings that surrounded me.
 
^Right. I remember calling said person so often I had to say, "no you call me back in two hours; im gunna look like a manchild if I keep calling."

ANYONE READING THIS LET THAT BE THE TAKEAWAY; CALL AND VISIT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!

Here is my question; anybody else have many M.D's admit that there MAY be a thin line between 'mentally ill' and those "gifted/cursed" with psychic abilities?

Lets halloween this up; Who has experienced 'spooky' shit at the ward and PLEASE SHARE? (dont let me sidetrack though OP than me on priorities)

What does TDS on your profile mean? I see a lot of letters on moderators profiles and I don't understand
 
I have been to the psychiatric ward three times. The first time at the age of 25 for four months for psychosis with a schizophrenic picture. I didn't agree with that diagnosis at the time, of course, lol. That's why it took so long. It's easier when you internalize it.

I actually had a pretty good time there. Except maybe the first fortnight. The people there in the psychiatric ward are wonderful. Both the staff and the patients. We laughed a lot and played different roles. People who come to psychiatry are not stupid. What makes them different is that at some point in their lives they have thought a lot. And they (we) came to some conclusions that were somehow not like the average. Of course, what else?

I remember one patient who we thought was a bit of a nut and he always said that he was in psychiatry because it was his hobby. I thought that statement was unutterably ridiculous and, when he said it, he and I had a very nice time. There was no end to the laughter.

Well, that is one of the stories.

I was in hospital twice more after that. And I have to say that I am now, at 63, supposedly cured. It's been about twenty years since my last visit to hospital. I have found myself. And I am glad that I met all the wonderful people there who taught me how to live and survive.

And not only inside, but also outside.
