Top 10 Dark Things People Did In Mental Asylums | MARATHON

[@MadameButterfly97]

The doll thing is actually really common with elderly female patients. It's often done to combat loneliness and give patients something to care for.

[@reidecember]

Exactly. I've seen it personally myself, and with the lady I observed doing this I respected her belief and ensured every single time I held her 'baby', I did with the upmost care and never took 'her' away from her without permission. For example, when 'her baby' was dirty I asked if I could give her a bath, and I would bring her straight back. I was given permission (though she watched me with such intense ness it was difficult to not give the 'baby' a proper clean). I got 'her' clean and dry and gave her back, smelling like soap and fluffed up with a towel. She ended up being the only one she trusted with her 'baby'.

[@patshippy7831]

Years ago had a resident with a pessary. We always knew when it came out because she would holler, "Clyde, get the car! The baby is coming!" We would put the pessary back in, hand her a doll and she would turn over and go to sleep.

My mom worked at Stanford hospital in the 70s, and every night at dinner she would "entertain" us with the grossest events of the day. I learned to choke down any food I liked as fast as possible, before she got into the gory details...my dad would "freshen up" his drink about 9 times to deal. Today I have a stomach of cast iron, I've heard it all and nothing happening can make me sick anymore, which has come in very handy, especially since everything makes my husband sick, so throwing up pets, gross accidents or emergencies don't throw me anymore, but I also don't ever eat much anymore either...

My cousin worked in a drug detox center in Houston and told me a story of a man who checked himself in to get clean. He started vomiting profusely due to the detox so the nurses would give him shots to help with the nause. He obviously had a reaction to it that caused very vivid hallucinations. His room was white bricks with a purple grapevine border around the room about chest high. My cousin said the patient thought he saw squirrels running around trying to eat the grapes but couldn't break them off the vine so the patient wore his fingertips down to the nubs digging and clawing at the grapes to help the squirrels eat. My cousin said blood was everywhere and it took 3 guards to get the guy under control. It's crazy what the mind can do.

I previously was employed as a Correctional Officer for the state of West Virginia. And having worked there for only 2 years, I was surprised with the amount of things I seen, truly horrible when the state decides a person is more fit to go to jail/ prison instead of a mental institution I’ve seen people basically loose all hope and some die in some horrible ways. It’s kinda of an eye opener for sure.

[@phatcat3705]

My dad worked as one, too. Told me some messed up things. Had human bodily fluids thrown at him a few times, too. Too weird stuff to recount. A scary story he told me that stood out, though, were about a few of the older inmates who were in prison their whole lives without committing a crime were there because they were abandoned as babies by their own parents because the parents didn't want them. They were treated like criminals, the same as the other inmates, and weren't allowed to leave. Because of the way they grew up, they all suffered from psychological problems, and were prone to self-harm and other disturbing behavior. Heard that, up to decades back (not sure about now), people sometimes did the same with their unwanted children by abandoning them in mental asylums.

[@starrchild254]

I've been in a mental hospital five years ago. Granted it was low security but I can happily report that things have GREATLY improved since those days. I was just like the woman with the doll. I had a baby girl stillborn at seven months and I bought a so very real doll I called innocence the same as my daughter. I bought it for comfort at first but started losing grip on reality. My local priest had me sectioned when I lost it when he refused to baptise my 'baby'. I was screaming at him that he was possessed by the devil and was trying to steal my baby's soul. While I was in hospital my mum went to my house and removed all the baby stuff like pram, car seat, toys, clothes, bottles etc and donated it all. I'll always be grateful to the hospital, the priest and my mum because without them I don't know where I'd be. Of course I still grieve for my little girl but in a proper healthy way and am starting to heal

[@neilanthony9288]

Beautiful heart♥️

[@phatcat3705]

@Sandra Slate Same. The way they treated these people back then should be classified as crimes. Most of them actually didn't have anything wrong with them in the first place, like they were down on their luck, which has to do with external factors beyond their control, or something unrelated like they're alcoholics (no such thing as rehab in those days) or got around. Of course, there were some occasional people in there who might've actually been typical, but if they weren't crazy before being put in these places of torture, they definitely would be after spending time there. People don't get better in places like these. Makes me wonder how much better things would've been had these people been treated like PEOPLE instead of "patients."

My grandma ran into a room nearby cause she was terrified. Some nurses went to go see what happened. They found my grandma curled up in a ball. They told her no one was there. A few days after that, she was talking to one of the other nurses when she brought up what happened. The woman told her that once a man cut off his face cause he swore something was scratching at his eyes. After that some people reported that a man with his face cut off would watch them and sometimes run at them. After that my grandma quit her job.

I normally have a strong stomach to stories like this, but damn, these affected me more than I can say. I've had experience with people who have mental health issues, having been a former carer. Thankfully, I've never had to deal with what some of the nurses in these stories had to, but it is still frightening when someone begins to lose their sense of reality. One story I have is I cared for a woman who was showing signs of schizophrenia and when me and a other carer tried to care for her, she tried to claw my face off, trying to punch and kick us, growled at me and called me "devil child" and the other carer "satan's worker". She also kept jabbing her fingers at the air shouting "go away" looking erracitly around. I knew then she was having a episode. Needless to say, we waited until she was coming out of her episode, informed the nurse in charge and I told her what I thought was going on with her mental health and she soon calmed down. I don't know what happened with her in the end, but it was so heartbreaking for us both to see her suffering like that.

[@Ghost-yw9pd]

Schizophrenic people have different symptoms and different experiences with the illness. I personally have both auditory and visual hallucinations. It’s like having someone that only you know about trying to talk to you 24/7. You know how’s there’s usually that one kid in school that is ALWAYS talking. It’s like that except only you can hear/see them. Sometimes it’s easier to bare, like when the voices are just trying to chat. Other times their urging you to do some pretty awful things. At times it can get to the point we’re you get migraines from both the stress and the voices. It’s hard but you can learn to cope with it through meds and therapy.

A lot of times when someone is psychic or a medium that speaks to the dead, they will be deemed crazy.

One of my grandfathers had schizophrenia and he went to a phsych ward and they preformed the electric shock therapy on him and then years later after they believed he still had delusions and stuff but he always denied it because he didn’t want to go threw that pain again, even though they explained that they don’t do that anymore and that they would just give him meds…

18:00 I have a relative that was a patient at Waverly Hills Sanitarium and the only reason she survived was because she became pregnant and it pushed all of her organs into place. So if she wouldn't have become pregnant, she might've been one of the bodies in the death tunnel herself.

When I was on a psych ward, we had a patient come in which was always shouting and saying crazy things. It was alright for the staff, they could go home, but the ward was our home. We got a break when the patient was asleep. It wasn't long until the other patients were trying to convince staff to move her off the ward and we got frustrated when staff defended her and seemed to downplay the reality of living on the ward with that patient. None of us had behaved like that on the ward, and we were all mentally ill. The patient got one to one eventually and overtime she improved drastically. She left on the same day I did and by that time we all loved her.

[@Finch_NotFound]

Hi, I know that these stories are for scary entertainment purposes but I just want people to understand that this is not how all mental institutes are. Not everyone is “insane” and a lot of people who work in psych wards enjoy working there, I was a patient a couple times for trying to unalive myself awhile back, I’m okay and it all good now, but while I was there I made some friends with the staff and other patients and not everyone has the same gruesome story, most of the time the staff was very nice except for a couple people but whatever. The institutes have different sections for different types of patients and sometimes you have roommates so you aren’t alone, and the staff are assigned to different sections based on their mental capacity and qualifications for different patients. I just wanted to clarify and say that it isn’t as awful as they seem. And if you took the time to read this you deserve a cookie.🍪

I lived in the US for while and I worked as a paramedic, we did a lot of psych transfers. The patients that were the most frightening were those that believed themselves to be possessed. Sometimes they would hurt themselves terribly, sometimes they would just scream. Satanic things at me. It was scary, but I pointed out to a few that, if they were truly a demon, they would do better keeping quiet and being able to do things in the world because screaming “I am Satan“ means they’re going to be spending all of their time in a psychiatric hospital.

I noticed that you mentioned ECT like it was a thing of the past. I am from real Virginia in the Appalachian mountains and I have news for you. In local hospitals ECT is still practiced and people are still placed in rubber rooms. I have received treatment myself in the past for terrible depression and PTSD as the result of an abusive childhood and saw patients being brought back from ECT in wheelchairs doing their impressions of "One Flew Over the Coo Coo's Nest" Jack Nicholas. This happened between 2001 and 2010 at St. Albain's mental hospital. I pity those patients convinced by doctors that this was a safe and effective solution for depression. I made sure that I included in my records that I would never give consent for this treatment. I am 48 now and have learned to handle my depression and PTSD in healthy ways. Unfortunately the trauma caused by the medical profession is a different manner. I can attest to what I consider negligent treatment of myself and other patients, one who even managed to shoot himself AFTER being admitted. He should have been searched at least 4 times before he was brought up to the wing where he did so. After witnessing this I was banned from ever being treated at that particular facility ever again. I guess it doesn't pay to have a Socialwork student present if you are going to mishandle patients.😔🤫🤐
