    A friend of mine was voluntarily admitted here for six weeks with complaints of severe dissociation, depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts... caused by trauma... Anyone who enters there receives a safe place, a coach assigned as standard and assistance from a psychologist. , psychiatrist and nurses. Also group therapies in the form of creative activities and exercise. (occupation) This friend of mine got all of this except for the last two weeks before she was allowed back out, the coach was not there and no crisis plan has been drawn up for when that person is thrown back into society. They claim so, but then they use the weaknesses of the person in question as an argument in allegedly providing such a plan. The outpatient telephone numbers they provided where you could call for help are also not available for the coming months. Even if you do get a psychologist and a psychiatrist, the conversations are only once a week and last no more than fifteen minutes. Then there is very little communication between the different services, between psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses. Nursing is often unaware of the seriousness of the problems of some people in admission, which of course causes many misconceptions and frustrations for the patient. Psychiatrists also have very limited communication with nurses. They are more than happy to give you a bunch of pills so that you can participate in the economy again as quickly as possible. Once again symptomatic treatment... :/ I do not attribute this to the emergency services in question, but to the structure of this healthcare sector and our outdated view of people with mental problems, I also know that there are too few people who want to do this work and who are not paid enough to do these kinds of jobs...

    Very good guidance during admission and aftercare, homely atmosphere, doctor/medical practitioner/social worker/... know what they are doing and are quick to respond. Despite the problems at that time during admission, it was still a 'pleasant' experience. Guidance from psychologist and child psychologist. Nice walking park around there with animals (goats, alpakas, chickens,...) Thank you!!

    Very good clinic. Great help from both the doctor and the nurses in the department. They certainly have experience and they know what they are doing.

    Referred to Karus by my outpatient psychologist. Currently in admission at PAAZ Sint-Lukas, where I sailed poorly and am therefore leaving. I say on the phone that I have been referred by my outpatient psychologist and am leaving the PAAZ today. "If you are in St-Lukas they have to call us" "I have been referred to you by my psychologist and am leaving St-Lukas" "If St-Lukas thinks further admission is necessary, they should call" "I was referred by my psychologist" "If St-Lukas does not think a recording is necessary..." Listen: if you find the verdict of a psychologist who I have seen once more important than my own request for help and the advice of my outpatient psychologist who I have been seeing biweekly for 2 years, then do not put on your site that you work in a patient-oriented manner. A disgrace.

    The admission service at Karus Campus Ghent claims that you cannot be admitted there and treated for a phobia, but their website states that you can.

    I was admitted here 1 week ago for alcohol addiction, the first week I was there I didn't even receive personal guidance. The nurses knew relatively little about me and my other problems, which caused many misunderstandings. Overall I had the feeling that the nurses were trying to understand, but just couldn't understand, which was also frustrating for patients. Some patients were also treated differently than others (e.g. I was thrown out because I did not go to a few sessions (relaxation and mindfulness) but otherwise I really did my best, another gentleman went to almost no sessions but he was allowed to stay ). I was there for 1 month and did not get a consultation with the psychologist or psychiatrist, even though I really needed one! There is also very little communication among nurses, doctors, etc. They also use the smallest mistakes against you to send you home, instead of giving you a chance and letting you learn from your mistakes. Karus is simply not the same as he used to be, which is a shame for people who really need professional help! :/

    Bad services, no follow-up, no more of that, instead of giving people a chance to move forward in their lives, we take advantage of their faults to send them home

    Downright scandalous! I had 2 simple questions during the intake interview with a "psychologist" 1. Is there room for a single room? Yes. 2. Can I go home on the weekend? Of course Mr. Spaens, we are not supposed to lock people up. However, when I arrived I did not have a single room and I was informed that I could not go home during the weekend. There you are. Stop lying to people and analyze a healthcare request correctly.

    WORST HOSPITAL EVER! Not even worth 1 star. Referred from Jovo to Cadans. Saw Dr. Vogels once and she gave me a completely wrong diagnosis that I did not ask for and is downright insulting. She clearly doesn't realize what she's doing. I am considering taking further steps myself.

😠 No respect for patients. I had an appointment for 15:30. I came before 15:00 and registered just to be sure I am on time. It is now 16:25 and they just asked someone else inside. Absolutely disgraceful.
