I
ALMOST
DIDN'T
SEEK
HELP
BECAUSE
OF
THESE
REVIEWS!!
READ
PLEASE!
I
have
a
really
complicated
case
but
basically
I
don't
respond
to
medications
so
my
mental
symptoms
are
uncontrolled.
No
psychiatrist
in
10
years
has
been
able
to
help
me
and
my
condition
keeps
worsening.
I
NEVER
wanted
to
go
to
a
mental
hospital
because
of
all
the
things
you
imagine
it
will
be
like,
but
I
was
at
my
lowest
and
couldn't
take
it
anymore.
After
an
interview
I
was
admitted,
all
of
my
things
were
inspected,
pictured
and
then
put
into
a
safe
possessions
room.
You
CAN
bring
books
but
only
paperbacks
no
hardcover,
hygiene
products
with
no
alcohol,
clothing
without
pull
strings,
and
I
brought
my
blanket
but
simply
had
to
get
the
doctor
to
make
an
order
to
release
it
to
me.
I
would
highly
recommend
bringing
some
slides
or
sandals
that
you
can
wear
in
the
shower.
A
lot
of
the
reviews
talk
about
the
technicians
(techs)
being
mean,
in
reality
they're
having
to
calm
down
patients
that
are
throwing
tantrums
so
they
have
to
have
a
backbone
and
be
assertive
or
else
no
patient
would
listen
to
them.
They
are
cool
people
and
will
talk
and
joke
with
you
all
day
but
they're
there
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
happy,
not
let
everyone
walk
all
over
them.
The
same
with
the
nurses,
they're
very
helpful
with
whatever
you
need
and
are
there
all
night
and
day.
I
was
assigned
Dr.
Nagpal
and
she
was
seriously
wonderful.
She
didn't
rush
me
even
a
little
bit
when
I
was
explaining
all
of
my
issues
and
asked
her
a
thousand
questions.
It's
so
hard
to
find
that
in
the
mental
health
industry.
Besides
that
everything
wasn't
even
as
close
to
as
bad
as
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be.
They
divide
the
unit
so
that
the
males
rooms
are
on
a
different
side
than
the
females
(even
the
bathrooms
are
gender
assigned
and
on
opposite
sides)
and
male
employees
NEVER
enter
a
female
patients
room
unattended
by
someone
else,
super
respectful.
It's
not
a
hotel,
it's
not
the
best
bed
and
blankets,
or
ideal
to
not
have
locks
but
these
people
are
here
to
help
you
24/7
while
you're
there.
You
have
access
to
the
phones
from
6am
to
10pm,
you
can
use
it
as
long
as
you
want
and
make
20
calls
if
you
wanted
to,
no
restrictions.
I
was
super
nervous
about
the
other
patients
but
it
was
such
a
diverse
group
of
different
people
going
through
different
things
and
I
made
a
lot
of
friends
unexpectedly.
To
be
surrounded
by
people
(patients
and
staff)
that
understand
your
mental
health
issues
and
have
your
back
is
nothing
I've
had
before,
everyone
is
there
for
you.
Yes
patient
tantrums
are
common
but
the
techs
are
really
good
at
calming
people
down
and
doing
everything
in
the
safest
way.
I'm
not
afraid
to
come
back
and
felt
better
for
the
first
time
ever,
I
actually
ended
up
wanting
to
stay
longer
because
I
could
relax
and
get
help
whenever
I
needed.
Don't
let
these
reviews
scare
you,
you'll
be
taken
care
of
and
even
meet
some
cool
people.
IF
YOU
NEED
HELP
DON'T
BE
AFRAID
TO
ASK
FOR
HELP.
