That is a palace compared to the hospitals I've been locked up in. The cells are usually only about 12 feet long by about 8 feet wide. They only have a bed with a solid rubber mat and pillow. Pens and pencils are absolutely not allowed, only one supervised phone call per day, definitely no mobile devices allowed in the cell block. The standard day consists of waking up by being shouted at, given massive amounts of drugs that make you feel like you going to die, having a tiny meal, being shouted at some more, go to bed and hope you don't wake up in the morning... the best part is that it's completely legal to treat disabled people like this but its illegal to treat criminals in prison like this.
The lifd of a psych ward patient... 1- Wake up 2- Get up from bed 3- Eat and drink 4- Go to the toilet 5- Contemplate life, look at nothing and feel terrible because of your past mistakes that led you to this prison in disguise 6- Go to bed 7- Sleep 8- Rinse and repeat
Thats a very reductive way to look at an entire goddamn field of medicine. If you feel psych wards didnt help thats okay but every psych patient is different.
In the UK, we have public private partnerships, also known as trusts as hospitals. They both cooperate so that the private side can get profits and the state get results
It’s a mental health ward in a private hospital. They are generally nice places depending on which hospital you choose. They are usually voluntary. There are also mental health wards in public hospitals. These are generally involuntary and are very traumatising as they are basically jail.
A psyc ward wouldn't let you have wired airosole pens plastic basically anything that could cause you harm or for others to reach depending on the patient also piercings I don't think this is a psyc ward
😢as a Native american it makes me sad how we treat each other. It's an Evil empire everyone supports and sustains and it's beyond me. Elders in old folks homes. The needy locked up. The strong are weakened. America and the economy is not good. Capitalism competitiveness is not good for our health.
@@mentalhealthwithalana they literally cant be, kids flip out and would do anything like trying to eat their phone or use it as a weapon. you cant have nice things in a place where they're constantly destroyed or used for harm 😂🤦🏻♂️
This is really nice, the places I’ve worked looked more like prisons, patients can’t have shoe laces, anything with cords like her headphones, definitely no cell phones.
You'd be surprised what people will do with belts, shoe laces,pencils, you name it. Voluntary admission is a very different experience. No one takes laces for fun, cutting someone down from them isn't a good time. If folks are suicidal gotta take it seriously.
Being a psych ward patient is waiting to live. It's no life. Also the medication can help short term, but in the long run it's debilitating, and potentially life threatening. What ever your struggling with - psychiatry is definitely not the solution. Good luck
I wish nothing but the best for you and hope that what your going through can be healed. And that stand up and have that strength to get you through whatever dilemmas, stay strong 💪 🙏
Wow, that's a hell of a lot better than what I thought or imagined a psyc ward would be like. They even let you have a phone and a computer that's better than some hospitals I've been in for recovery for broken bones.
There was a waterfall near us, such a lovely thin streak of water, like a thread but white and moving. It fell from a great height, but it looked quite low, and it was half a mile away, though it did not seem fifty paces. I loved to listen to it at night, but it was then that I became so restless. Sometimes I went and climbed the mountain and stood there in the midst of the tall pines, all alone in the terrible silence, with our little village in the distance, and the sky so blue, and the sun so bright, and an old ruined castle on the mountain-side, far away. I used to watch the line where earth and sky met, and longed to go and seek there the key of all mysteries, thinking that I might find there a new life, perhaps some great city where life should be grander and richer--and then it struck me that life may be grand enough even in a psychward.
Its heartening to see psych wards these days. Theyve come a long way. Ive watched old docos on asylums and it looked like pure hell. A mental breakdown is just that, we can all go through them with varying severities.
yeah at some sort of weird private psych ward. nothing like the ones most people go too. nothing like the dozens of times ive gone , 4 different hospitals, in canada, im just at the poverty line :)
When I was in psychosis I just straight up asked the person at the desk everyday for more drugs and they’d always correct me and say it’s medication. They’re all do gooders who don’t realize they’d act the exact same way if put in the right situation. Being in a psyche ward full of people who were pushed to the brink was definitely an experience.
You might not see this comment but you deserve to smile and be happy. Be yourself and don't let anyone tell you how you're supposed to feel or act. you're just the way you were supposed to be made. You are enough, and you're beautiful and appreciated.
I don’t really like saying this as I’m sick of people saying this about mine, but something isn’t right about those eyes… just seems.. off . But then again judgments are pretty empty
Damn your parents must be rich as hell. That looks like a goddamn spa. Never been committed for an extended period of time but the psych wards I've been in are extremely disturbing and kinda scary and more like a jail with nurses around
Telling someone that thier faking a mental illness is not ok people have to learn to stop hating she is telling the truth, some people don’t have as bad mental illnesses and can have the stuff she has and some can’t she is telling the truth ❤
I think people who have been committed just want to know where any of this stuff is allowed. No products with alcohol, no cords are the rules for anywhere I've ever been. That's the common experience. Its hard to believe her if you've ever been in the psych ward.
anyone in the comments saying this looks nicer than the typical psych ward and that this person is ‘lucky’… here in the uk some of our wards also look very nice, (and yes phones are allowed at all of them generally), but a nice building or facilities means nothing when the staff are at best rude and at worst further traumatising the patients. i think anyone in these comments who’s actually dealt with the mental health system & inpatient facilities should know that any psych ward is guaranteed to be horrific regardless of the budget they had when building the place.
i prefer psych ward over mental hospital (asylum), mental hospitals are harsher and people tends to get depressed, gets tortured that are kept in secret, they were also taken advantages of, well that was just before. but sometimes psych wards are lonely. (i haven't been to any of them but i did do research)
Thats cool that you’re allowed to have your phone with you. And it looks like a comfortable, clean space. I bet that truly helps you focus on your mental health. Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes ❤
Okay wait.. HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO PRETTY!? Like seriously you’re one of the prettiest people I have ever seen tell me your secrets!! I hope you have an amazing day/night!!
What ward are you at. Ive been neexing to go to one badly because of my mental health and i havent been able to find one that allows electronics and your own clother and stuffed animals
damn how do you have all this , ive been locked up in psych ward when i was 16 and it felt like maximum security prison with 15 minute check ups and nothing but bed and a black square drawn on a wall for no reason for 8 whole days
My mom and Uncle work in psych wards and it's always been kind of dad but in the past two to two-and-a-half years it has gotten so freaking horrible it's unbelievable it's like all funding has stopped
Every one I’ve been to in Maine had worse beds than the ones in jail, had staff that didn’t care about the patients & treated us like criminals or people that no one wanted to deal with
I take it you weren't in there for psych because there's so many things wrong with this place if you were, in the four different ones I've been to, we weren't allowed to have full sized shampoos or any kind of perfume, all bedsheets and pillows had to be light enough to breathe through so no one gets smothered, pens, shoelaces, and any type of string (including those earbuds) were not allowed, and the fridge had to be locked at all times, the phone however yeah that was allowed in one of the ones I was in but we weren't allowed to take any photos or videos, facetime anyone, or have our phones in our rooms, me i broke all of these cellphone rules so have at it
some of these people have never heard or bren through the psych system and it shows. she could be residential, which yes i have experiamce with residential, residential secure where theres no elevtronics, ive been in hospital low med and high sec in my 18 years of life. i was on young aduly HOSPITAL WARDS EVEN at sixteen. on those ADULT WARDS and in ADULT CARE. IN MOST CASES YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PHONE. IF UT IS RESIDENTIAL, MOST TIMES ADULTS CAN HAVE THEIR PHONES AS WELL. also at a residential program i wasbat before, we could have our phoens ubder directe super vision to call friends or family at free will. ut was a KINORS ONLY FACILITY AS WELL. keep this in minr. this is atleast how it is where i live.
A lot of American psych wards don’t allow you to have personal stuff like phone and clothing. We have to be in clothes they provide and everything is taken way like if you were going to jail. It sucks
when i was struggling with anorexia, they put me in a psych ward (and for some reason they put me on suicide watch?) and they took all my shit away 😟😟 there were grown ass men force feeding me
wow! nice digs! when I went in, right away i was put into solitary confinement for 3 days- they took away my shoes and gave me these fuzzy booties to wear- needless to say, my whole life has been a shit show ever since 😢
How has your progress been? Im studying to be a psychiatrist and have no interest in patiens suffering from mental illness their whole life , I want to actually help them and have the satisfaction of them not needing me anymore.
She is faking it. Those are some pretty hangable door knobs and door tops and dressers and drawers. And do they give you shaving razors as well? You know might as well give you some knives to cut your steak with. When was the last time you used a plastic spoon?
Dude where are people finding these nice ass wards 😭 the ones I’ve been to didn’t care at all about patients feeling comfortable, like the rooms were literally just mattresses on a shiny block of wood and a shelf for your clothes. Most bathrooms didn’t even have doors
I see so many comments here complaining about not being able to have electronics and other things during their psych ward stay and I get that. It’s not fun to be in a psych ward or a hospital for mental health reasons. However, I think some of the patients and family members just don’t understand exactly why these rules are in place. Everything they do or take away from you is out of concern for your own safety. Phones can be used as a weapon, earbuds can be used as a weapon against yourself, clothing with strings can be used as a weapon. You can’t have complete privacy because it’s the staff’s job to make sure you aren’t going to harm yourself. As someone who works at a hospital and specifically sits with behavioral and mental health patients, I c an understand the frustrations, but trust me, we are doing what we can to make sure you are safe. It’s not a perfect system but it’s better than the alternative of letting you hurt yourself or worse. Mental health is important 💜
right? like they dont realize theyll literally try eating their phone or using it as a weapon - you cant have nice things when literally anything can (and is) used for harm
This ^^^ All of this. Worked in vol and invol for 25 years. Anything can be used as a weapon of for self harm if the intent is strong enough. It's not club med. It's to keep folks alive until they want to live.
Maybe if psychwards in America weren't like fucking jails where you're forced against your will into maybe people would be more inclined to get their mental health treated.
I'm sorry 😞 I'm in a private hospital so they are less strict about stuff unless you do something then they'll send you to public which is way stricter with rules
My hospital let us vape and also borrow the iPads they had for the patients. Food was great and even made friends with some of the staff and patients there. Hospital name is Eastern Long Island Hospital in New York.
I have a question. So, i’m DEAF, meaning i use cochlear implants and have to put them on charge each night, and they must be close to my bed. Would that be acceptable in a psych ward???
I've always wondered what they are like because for years I've been wanting to admit myself to a psych ward just to get better help and to get away from my psychotic, hepicritical, toxic family.

Why wouldn't they not let you you're not a prisoner. 😂
7 years ago.. last time I went..😊 they only gave us nicotine gum.. things have changed. I might have to go back
Thank you soooo much for shedding some more light on the subject!! And I hope you start to feel better soon❤
No worries ❤️❤️
*Not a psych ward…Starting with the shoe laces.
@@Dmd265not accurate. If you pose no threat to yourself, theyre allowed.

@@bearclaus2676not true bc other patients could get access and use them you ppl have clearly never spent time in a pysch befote
This isnt a psych ward,its a private hosptial!!!
Most of the things she had woud normally not be allowed in a psych ward.
She comfirmed this herself

@@ShadeRaven222 I agree my friend. I wish we could all coexist peacefully

Yes definitely! Unfortunately many are not like this

That alcohol body spray was what shocked me. Even more than the phone.
That's the first thing theyd confiscate anywhere I've ever been for treatment.
You'd be surprised what people will do with belts, shoe laces,pencils, you name it.
Voluntary admission is a very different experience.
No one takes laces for fun, cutting someone down from them isn't a good time.

It’s not a perfect system but it’s better than the alternative of letting you hurt yourself or worse. Mental health is important 💜
right? like they dont realize theyll literally try eating their phone or using it as a weapon - you cant have nice things when literally anything can (and is) used for harm
This ^^^
All of this. Worked in vol and invol for 25 years. Anything can be used as a weapon of for self harm if the intent is strong enough.
It's not club med. It's to keep folks alive until they want to live.
Such a good one u are in... i wish mine was like that
You've got bare stuff matey wouldn't even let me have my charger so I couldn't hang myself
Maybe if psychwards in America weren't like fucking jails where you're forced against your will into maybe people would be more inclined to get their mental health treated.
I'm sorry 😞 I'm in a private hospital so they are less strict about stuff unless you do something then they'll send you to public which is way stricter with rules
@@mentalhealthwithalana then don’t call it a psychward you donut
My hospital let us vape and also borrow the iPads they had for the patients. Food was great and even made friends with some of the staff and patients there. Hospital name is Eastern Long Island Hospital in New York.
She looks like a sims of that girl who make aesthetic sims!
That psych ward is better than my dorm 😭
You got this babe ❤ you’re beautiful!
I have a question. So, i’m DEAF, meaning i use cochlear implants and have to put them on charge each night, and they must be close to my bed. Would that be acceptable in a psych ward???
I'm sure they would allow them as it's a mobility aid that you 100% need!
@@mentalhealthwithalana that’s great to hear!
The vegan teacher became a ginger💀
I've always wondered what they are like because for years I've been wanting to admit myself to a psych ward just to get better help and to get away from my psychotic, hepicritical, toxic family.
nawwww this makes my psych ward look like solitary confinement
Can anyone tell me what county this is please
Australia Queensland
@@mentalhealthwithalana im glad taxpayer dollars from many workers below the poverty line have to go towards your monthly psych ward visits
