Average Day in an Insane Asylum

[@JamestheAviator]

Insane Asylum, a mental hospital and a mental health facility are different things. An insane asylum deals with criminals who are mentally let's say crazy, while a mental hospital or psychiatric hospital are people who are really struggling with life and need 24/7 help and protection from themselves.

[@BuckBlaziken]

I was admitted into a psych ward for having really deep depression. This is pretty accurate to the actual schedule within a mental health hospital. Food was predetermined the day before, they give you a menu and with a red crayon you circled what food you wanted the day before. Admittedly it makes you kinda hungry for the food the day before, and you look forward to the food for an entire day. The basic schedule went like Wake up Eat breakfast Therapy class Social skills class Lunch Recreational therapy Visitation hour/relaxation hour Snack time Relaxation hour Dinner Shower hour Some more relaxation Bed time Occasionally every 15 minutes a nurse will come around and peep through the door and watch as you sleep to ensure you’re not trying to do something harmful to yourself.

[@FuckinEmoElmo]

In the case you admit yourself for severe depression, did you find improvement by the end of your stay? I’ve been back and forth scared to do it but also know I need the help with depression/anxiety becoming unbearable.

[@BuckBlaziken]

@@FuckinEmoElmo if you really need it, please get advice from an actual doctor or mental help hotline before determining if you should go to a mental health hospital. For some people, it can be stressful since things can become boring in these wards. For me, it helped in the end but you can easily be put into the ward for extended periods more so than what you thought you’d be in for if the doctors feel that you may attempt something harmful to others or yourself when you’re released. Again, I’d recommend talking to mental health hotlines and family or friends before considering going to these hospitals.

As someone who has been through 5 of these things I can highly confirm that this video 99% accurate. The only thing that they got wrong is the group meetings for personal treatment is usually just you and your doctor unless your a minor then you have you're legally guardians present as well. And group therapy is a complete oxymoron, if you say you are starting to feel more sane or mentally healthy then the councilor present is only a second away from saying, your not ready. And the questions asked to patients are a crime all of there own. They ask extremely personal questions in front of other patients who have no business knowing the answers to. To top it all off if you don't answer these extremely personal questions during group therapy then its considered refusing medical help which can get you more time in the ward. They do this purposely because they know you don't feel comfortable talking about it so that you dont participate that way they can say you are refusing medical help. This way they get you a longer sentence and make more money.

[@TweetyTwT]

I was a trainee in an asylum some years ago. Was very interesting to see their methods and treatments, especially the electro shock. It was also cozy sometines, I remember going with a patient to a museum owned by the asylum and generally taking walks with them, also to supermarket and a local recycle store. It was generally quite peaceful there, well, I was in the ward for depressive patients, so not the most difficult or active one, but we still had all kind of patients with different diagnoses like schizophrenia, eating disorders and one time even taking in a forensic psychiatric patient temporary. Sometimes serious things would happen like depressed youngsters swallowing razor blades and self harming or bipolar or schizophrenic patients freaking out, maybe damaging themself too by bumping their head into a wall. I'm glad I was at that ward though, one of the other trainees was in a ward with many schizophrenic patients and she experienced a bizarre episode of one that was basically touching himself while being in the common room. They do get medicated ofcourse but you'll still experience episodes of patients with inappropriate behaviour sometimes. Personally for me it was be quite energy draining to be there, very interesting and educational but the patients can require much attention and care besides the treatment itself. So, huge respect from me to the workers in asylums! I did leave the field I was studying that time (occupational therapy) since I found out working so close with humans weren't for me and I was only getting more demotivated the further I got into the study, so of course the asylum was extra difficult for me since I didn't share the same motivation and interest in the field as someone else studying it would. But that doesn't mean the job in a ward isn't nice or interesting - if you like to help and work with humans, then it'll probably be an awesome field! Possibly challenging at times, but also very interesting

Food wasn't bad, but not being able to shave without someone watching was a bit annoying. Mostly I was bored af, and did what I could to skip out on group therapy. Because of my job at the time, I was allowed to skip on group and only had to do one on one therapy with the shrink. They reluctantly let me go after 8 days.

There's some things that are a little off, but overall it's fairly accurate. The number one thing that I'll suggest to anybody and everybody is to make friends with the other patients and especially with the staff. That should be the very first thing you do. You have to be prepared to make the place home for a while because you're most likely not going to be getting discharged anytime soon. Making as many friends as possible will definitely help make your stay easier and hopefully shorter. Number 2 thing is to never ever say "I'm not crazy!" I'm sure you can understand why. Also the food will be trash, but if you don't eat then they will consider it self harm or possibly worse. If anybody reads this and is about to go in remember these words. They will help you!

I remember there were a couple times I just wanted to read my book and not interact (I'm introverted) and because of this the staff would pester me and threaten to take my book away. I get that they deal with a lot of unruly patients but honestly for me a lot of human interaction really wears me out. On top of that I had a smoking habit once I did get out because while being in there, patients were only allowed outside for a smoke break. I didn't smoke but bring indoors for so long really is maddening. So I went with the smokers just to get some sort of fresh air. Then on top of that one of the patients was a really creepy dude who made me very uncomfortable, pretty much stalker type. Which I've dealt with stalkers before, it's very stressful. When I tried bringing it to a nurses attention and showed her the creepy note he left on my bed, she just snatched the paper glanced at it, said ok and went back to talking to her Co worker. Definitely made me feel less than a human being. The good was that yes I did make some friends in there that were pretty cool and luckily the doctor assigned to me genuinely seemed like he wanted me to be on the right medications. I honestly get paranoid of the cops being called on me though because I feel like I'll just get taken back again for a 4th time.

[@amberhanson3320]

I was in a mental hospital in 2004 on November 20th. The doctor said that I was so good there that I only had to stay three days and two nights. I did too good because my beloved grandfather had me check myself in. Today is his birthday and he is 79 years old today. I can't name all the things he did for me. I have compulsive depression disorder. I've really come a long way since then because where I'm living at the facility now, they let me have a baby doll since I cannot have young children. They used psychology about her on me and it works like a good time. Love Brayden waves are working perfect like a normal human being now. I was in the semi abusive relationship with Greg Gentry and his family. I probably could have done better to but I didn't know how. I'm doing great now

I have been to 4 mental hospitals. Each one was very different from another. Some were more „hospital-ly“ and some more of a resort(?). Like one of them was quiet far away from the he city, surrounded by beautiful nature. Trees, meadows, overall really good taken care off flowers and stuff, a little lake which led into a stream crossing the area and was home to two swans who lived there 😊 the water was so clear that you could see the bottom. there was also a special spot where you could take your shoes off and cool off your feet 😊 basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis area… nice seating spots, a cafeteria with internet access and a pool table, guests where always welcome to visit. And the people who worked there were really nice and were really trying to help you and always took their time to listen to your problems. Nurses as well as doctors and therapists. 😊

We had a killer menu. If we had freedom to go to the cafeteria, we got as much to eat as we wanted, and the food was delicious.

Love the video for sure! Animation, narration and tone to sarcastically sweeten up the true anguish that goes on there for an inmate or patient (not a client like you are told) the hospitals dont have anything to stimulate the brain like your own clothes, shoes, books, plants and tones for the walls are horrible on purpose. You may have 30 minutes a day of rec to go to an indoor basketball hoop and ive been in a few with a t.v room and puzzles. All water except 1 maybe 2 juice boxes or coffee a day So that you are based out and the forced meds they give you (2 or 3 times a day) are the only stimulation you can have and theyre free to play around with drug combinations knowing theres no other factors in your head. which leads to a lifetime of pain and chaos. Its like jail without being able to go outside at all but id much rather jail. In jail or prison gotta watch your back on the other inmates. In Hospitals you really gotta watch out for the gaurds, nurses even the doctors. They're seriously overworked stressed to the highest degree and have complete control of your life and mind, im thinking need to switch things up occupationally when it became too much and wouldnt come into the psych fields with the intent to harm🙏🏼 but theres a lot of things that have happened behind those walls that are absolutely unforgivable, unforgettable and unmentionable making me shake just ttping.... I also know every crazy hospital isn't the same, theres so many of places in the world and there's different levels of facilities for mental health problems but i wish i was put in a spot like this for one of my stays for sure. Reminds me of a group psych house i had to stay at, or a group home. **I guess the reason for this is, if you or someone you know have mental health issues dont make the hospital your first thought, there's a lot of options. Just start hitting up your local community and dont feel weird about it because without help it just gets weirder and wierderer👍🏼Youre tagged for life with your hospital chart and a false diagnoses, or any diagnosis, could really mess up someone's life... Im sorry to anyone who has had to deal with the cruelty of these places and feel deeply for anyone who's mind is just acting funky on the daily and you cant do anything about it. Im with you all spirit and just keep movin! *And wanted to give a big shoutout to all the nurses docs and gaurds that treated people like people, trying to help me and everyone find a little peace in our heads. The world needs more of you, so much love to ya❤ And another appology about this long comment, i loved the video and it made me think a ton so figured id share some of dem thoughts🤘🏼 Have a great day cause if you reading this it means your outside and thats at least 1 positive for the day!

I remember when I had to work in an asylum for a couple of weeks. One old man got transfered from anoter asylum to this one. He wasnt talking for years. He didnt look at anybody. I asked what he has. Turns out when he was a young adult, he has been put in an asylum because his ex left him and he was heartbroken. The reason why he stopped talking and looking at anybody and was basically a shell of himself was because he spent his whole life in asyliums because he was a normal heartbroken young adult. I don't need to tell you guys how I was feeling after hearing that.

An important point to cover is that spots in these hospitals in the USA are extremely limited with massive waiting lists around the country.

The treatment of the mentally ill in asylums was heavily influenced by those in positions of power, including medical professionals, administrators, and caregivers. Asylums became sites where the power dynamics of the time were played out, with patients often being the most vulnerable and powerless.

I was involuntarily put in for a psych hold (it was BS and I hate how easily I was put into one - I almost lost my job). The staff was good but the experience was horrible. i was pushed in this processing area - the psych ward was split into two. One was all men and the other was almost all females. I was put with the girls as I wasn't considered potentially violent. I had to stay for 3 days. I didn't have any family around, I thought the Dr's would see that no one was visiting me and think that I was crazy. When interviewed by staff I was very assertive letting them know that I wasn't going to commit suicide and this was making things very difficult for me professionally. - After the interview I thought they wouldn't let me out but they did. My exGF found out about this and embarrassed me about it in horrible ways (I had been in an abusive relationship). It did mess me up professionally as well, I was a sr manager and everything was a mess and the director more or less beat me down further - I got fired a few months later. My Dad died about a month after I got out (he had terminal cancer), I lost my job, I became an addict. I've been looking for a job for MONTHS but I get told I'm too overqualified for what's available??? I NEED a paycheck so I can get my life back - I need a way in. I never had this issue with getting a job At the end of the day, it's just my 15 year old dachshund and me watching the world pass us by
