Jereon, I spent a week in the psych ward and I agree with you, it is not a rosey place to be. I was lucky to have decent food and some nice nurses. The doctors were nice too, but compared to veterans here at pbabble, they were pretty stupid. Their goal, at least here where I live, is not to get the patient well, though it's nice if that happens, but rather to stabilize the patient enough to let them out.
Where I live in USA they won't even keep you in the hospital unless you have convinced them you are going to commit suicide, or unless you have good insurance that pays for the whole stay. If there is any indication suicidalness has eased, you're out the door. If insurance runs out, you're out the door. My insurance ran out after one week and I was let out actually in worse shape than I went in. Geez. Even psychotic people are let out until they threaten harm to someone outside, then they are readmitted for a short time to calm them down, and then out they go.
So I don't know why your doctors even keep you there. Must be a different way of doing things from where I am.
As far as the Jereon experiment on neurotransmitters goes, yeah, well, I think we are all on that same team. We are all where you are in that experiment. You aren't alone in that. At least those of us outside the hospital can do it on our own terms and have more freedom to make our own choices of doctors and meds.
Funny how you mentioned other patients getting better and didn't care. I saw that too. I was in worse shape than all of them. And yet when I left they all stayed. Weird.
