[QUOTE="Star*, post: 487459, member: 4964"] Pepper - Something a nurse told me the first time I went into a psychiatric hosptial with Dude (age 5) and thought "HOW HORRID" amongst other things just like you - "I don't think this is a good place but remain optimistic." - She said (and I quote) If we made this place fancy and homey like the Ritz Carlton? There wouldn't be any reason for MOST of these kids to work towards going home. You make these places institutional, and a bit uncomfortable so they WORK towards getting out of here-see?" In that case? It was very true. After 8 weeks he wanted out of there worse than anything. Didn't mean he was perfect at home - They got some medications stablized, tweaked, and started on therapy - for both of us. It was the beginning of a long road. One which my son needs to continue for the rest of his life. [/QUOTE]
