[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 439464, member: 1157"] I would agree that it most decidedly does *not* have one of the best adolescent units in the area, if the head doctor believes that there is no such thing as rapid-cycling. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do except to not have him admitted there again, which isn't a great option if adolescent units are as scarce as they are in many areas these days. I think it's worth following up with a complaint, but they're likely to only see it as a disagreement with a treatment plan, not negligence (although discharging so quickly after a disagreement is certainly suspect from an ethical standpoint, and that may raise eyebrows). I would place a call to his regular psychiatrist ASAP and let him/her know what happened, and see where to go from here. If anything else, he/she needs to know that this particular doctor and unit may undo other patients progress, as well... I'm so sorry, I can only imagine how you must feel about this. I'd be irate, and scared, too, for what happens next... [/QUOTE]
