[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745556, member: 1550"] Id be very suspicious. From what you told me, I don't trust them. I have been in.an exceptional psychiatric ward when I was 23 and none of what is happening there happened in my university hospital and nobody lived years in a paychiatric hospital. I would be very cautious with my money, what I told them, or what YOU want to do after his stay. Maybe it is just that American psychiatric wards are different. But that one your son is at gives me the the creeps. Do they do therapy with the patients? We did! Lots! It was not just about medication. I took medications....I wanted to and consented.....but we were busy in therapy, art, athletics, socializing all day. We were not allowed to lay in bed all day....that doesnt help mental illness. And nobody told me where to go after I left. I actually ended up very educated in there and at the end I felt it had really been worthwhile, even fun. The staff from top to bottom was amazing. The doctor changed my life. He was very bright and kind and way ahead of his time. [/QUOTE]
