Trapped in a Psych Ward: ‘I felt kidnapped.' New patient speaks after 7 report

[@pibarrante6901]

This is worse than jail. You get no release date - youve committed no crime. The doctor has ALL the rights - and he needs money. You are the source of income

[@michaelragusa5138]

You are right! Avoid nut houses at all costs! You have a loss of independence. You can count on verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. My ex-friend, who has some mental issues, found out about this the hard way. He told me that it was like a near death experience (NDE) where he spent some time in hell for a few days.

[@xdani_thethinkingneko]

@michaelragusa5138 Making a blanket statement like that is very dangerous. If I didn't go to the psychiatric hospital, the times that I needed to, I would be dead. Literally dead, because I needed medical intervention... Not to mention I've known so many people personally, who psych words have saved their lives. Not all places are like this, and we've made leaps and bounds in terms of medical psychiatric care.

[@xdani_thethinkingneko]

Leaving this on a top comment, in hopes that people will understand the nuance behind these issues, as this was not addressed in the new section. Since they just want to sensationalize this, instead of giving proper information that could actually help people. 2:59 This is the biggest problem, often times people are kept because there isn't a step down. People still need to be monitored, but they don't have a step down. (not speaking about this one.obviously clues something was wrong, since he was having residents fill out paperwork that he was supposed to be filling out), Other doctors I've spoken to are scared of letting somebody out, especially when they have suicidal ideation,if they end up *illing themselves. They can then be sued. Psychiatric care, and being forced into the hospital saved mine and many people I love,lives. Almost every single person in the hospital, doesn't want to be there. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be there. I think if we had more intensive outpatient, and partial hospital patient programs, things would be a lot better. Those step-down programs, saved my life. I was able to continue to get treatment, while working on myself in the real world. I wonder if there are a lack of places in this state, like that. Even when Sarah says that she is not depressed anymore, and is no longer suicidal and would like to go home, that's not enough, in MOST cases.They have to show that you are no longer suicidal, through engaging with treatment But, the difference with her cases she actually had an outside psychiatrist. Which means she should have been released within 24 to 48 hours at the most. I went through something similar, where someone called the police on me to be punitive. I was released the next morning, because I was working with an outside psychiatrist at that point. But in general if you don't have an outside doctor you're working with, and you've said that, they have to hold you. Then if you proceed to continue to freak out while you're in there, they're going to hold you even longer. Typically every time I've tried to k*ll myself in the past, I was always held for a week. The only times it was a little bit over a week, was when they could not find a step-down program for me. Which was necessary, for me to be released. Plus the more that you ask to be released, instead of focusing on treatment, the more they think that you're going to hurt yourself. There have been many times I've been in the hospital, and people are waiting on beds and that's why they're there. But this case seems completely different. I just wanted to note, when there are times that things may not make sense to outside people, but the person actually does have to be held. Even if they don't want to. I don't want the field of psychiatry to be demonized, or for people to not trust psychiatric professionals on a whole, just because of this bad apple. Just heartbreaking to me, that there's so many people I know in this comment section, who will not understand the context of this particular situation and will generalize things(as I've already seen). Which is very sad to me, I would have thought it would have been better if they had shown an example of when somebody truly needs to be held. Then people could understand the difference. It's a shame that the news organization didn't do that, and it seems like they just want to sensationalize things, instead of giving people the proper context....😢

While I agree with you 1,000%, I'll play devil's advocate. Before the 1970s, all it took was a doctor like this to say you were mental off your rocker and you were institutionalized just like this woman was. Terrible, we all agree. The alternative is what we have today, where a large percentage of the homeless population is mentally unstable, taking over streets, committing crime, defecating on the street and causing all types of issues. But again, in this case, it's clear the doctor found a nice little way to enrich himself and if it's proven that he never actually did anything to evaluate these people (with a second, independent person backing his findings), he should be thrown in jail with not release date given!

I was discharged yesterday from an inpatient psychiatric facility that I was forced to go to due to “policy and procedures”. I also have PTSD, was facing eviction due to financial struggles, and felt hopeless. I did not want to end my life. I did not want to hurt myself or anybody else. Held in the ER for 24 hours, forced to the facility for 72 hours and they were trying everything they could to keep me in there. It was absolutely traumatic. I feared they would keep me there for longer, I will NEVER seek emergent psychiatric care again-and I’m a Registered Nurse. This system is beyond broken and beyond repair.

If you’re looking for solutions, see if it’s physical, situational, or spiritual. Yes, we are an eternal spirit, but we do have a physical body that can have chemical, nutritional, or hormonal imbalances that can be discovered with a blood test typically and resolve with nutrition and physical activity. Situational distress can typically be handled with therapy including spiritual counseling, but truly spiritual soul issues, such as hidden trauma or even a demonized soul is very real. The simple solution is Jesus, but the spiritual process can take a lot of guidance, scripture study, and prayer. It’s nothing to be ashamed of even Peter’s mother-in-law had a spirit of infirmity. As a Holy Spirit, sooooo believer I often find people saying they don’t know why they’re telling me things, as they are trauma starts pouring out from deep within their soul or they don’t know what comes over them when they tell me, they don’t act like them selves. That’s because it’s not always just themselves. I’m now in special, if you want to know, the solution read scriptures start in the book of Mark then Luke if your a strong Christian, or Matthew and John if you need to start with the basics and get refounded on what scripture says that might be very different from what you heard from church. God is good, his solutions are accessible pray for the RIGHT help. God love YOU!

When he ended my medication, I became distressed, but not suicidal and not histrionic. When I went to ask him to restore my meds. He committed me against my will. I was stuck in the psych ward for a year. While I was in the facility, I was physically attacked on a number of occasions by other patients who were also imprisoned against their will.

The ER DR. said I could leave after taking 2 IVs of the antibiotics but when the second IV was almost done I called family to pick me up. I asked a (male) nurse if they could remove the IV so I could be released they told me that they were getting a room ready for me I needed to just be patient until it was ready. I told him I wanted to leave because someone was in transit to come get me. He said he didn't care and that I HAD to do what the doctor ordered. I told him that I don't work for the DR. and I want to leave. He then got angry, putting his finger to my chest telling me this WILL HAPPEN, like it or not. This of course was the WAY WRONG ANSWER and after I got loud enough to bring about 5 other nurses into the room they decided to have me sign a release form and discharge me. To leave they insisted I had to be pushed out in a wheelchair which that same nurse tried to THROW me out of it twice buy snatching it violently backwards but when he realized another patient was watching him do this he disappeared when they stood up. I tell this because hospitals don't care about people anymore, they just care about your insurance and their bottom line. Tell me if I'm the only one who feels that a trip to the doctor seems more like a run through the window at Mcdonald's than a trip to a paid professional who is SUPPOSED to treat me like a person?

I was a victim of the system. After my wife passed away in 2021 I needed to talk to someone so I went to the mental health department in Charlotte NC. I knew something was up when the door locked behind me when they took me back to see a social worker. I just wanted to talk to someone but next thing I know s sheriff's deputy shows up and handcuffs and shackles me. I'm driven 2 hours too Raleigh, a hell hole called Holly Hill Hospital. The commitment paperwork said I was phycotic and suicidal. This was blatantly false. They wanted to keep me for 21 days. Like this poor lady I had a cat 😺 at home that needed tending. I got a hold of a lawyer at disability rights NC. The next day I was all better and discharged. It than cost me a 200 dollars Uber ride home.

[@ISureDont]

They’re know around here for it. I was held there for nine days for nothing at all. That’s all my insurance would cover and they let me go. I know a bunch of people with the same story

[@furygeist]

Jeez, that place is notorious. They have a 1.8 star rating on Google but the top reviews are from patient 'families' praising staff for being discreet and protecting patient confidentiality. Yeah, cuz HIPAA you nitwits. Patient reviews state the place is a scammy lil hell hole that holds ppl hostage until insurance coverage runs out. It should be illegal. The fact the sheriff came and took you there is nuts. They likely got paid to take ppl even if they weren't a danger to themselves or others.

[@SkyCloudSilence]

That's insane. It could have turned out so much worse. Thank God it didn't 🙏

There are lawsuits pending on them for a teenager dying in there "care".

[@88foldpath]

I was at a nearby psych ward “Samaritan behavioral center” on East side of Detroit. I heard one patient say stonecrest was worse. I’m supposed to be in there to get help and the doctor would only see me for 30 seconds at a time asking generic questions or just telling me to keep taking my medication. If anything I have ptsd from my stay there. Doors always slamming shut by nurses, toilets designed to flush so loud like a screaming engine (how is that supposed to help psych patients?). Not letting patients outside after telling us that the sun is good for our mental health. Even prisoners get to go outside. That place has horrible negative energy lurking there. I’ve never believed in this kind of stuff but that place is definitely haunted.

Like the girl in video they also threatened to take me to their court process involuntarily if I didn’t cooperate with some of their treatment. They didn’t even tell me about the intent to terminate mental health treatment form.

This happenned to my 88 mother with cancer, when she complained about the pain from her pre diagnosed cancer to doctors in her hospital. They thought she was crazy and just making it up.

Oh they're involved alright, the feds work with these psych wards and help deliver them "patients". The feds aren't going to shut this down lol THEY KNOW. I was taken to one against my will, and they gave patients a wireless phone to call a family member to talk to them for a certain amount of time. I used it to call the police to try to get the heck out of there. They forced me to go back to my cell and wouldn't allow me to talk to the police officer I called, but instead a bunch of people came and injected me with something to make me pass out and go to sleep. The cops never spoke to me and I had to just keep a level head and wait for them to let me leave 2 weeks later.

[@ericstewart517]

That's "cute" to SAY, but in reality, the bottom line is that those "health professionals" opinions are "subjective".....just like one dentist saying "that tooth needed to come out" They'd NEVER be able to "prove" said person didn't "need" to be treated 2 days vs. 5 days.....cause it's subjective. It's scary AF, but that's just the truth ....one doctor says a pregnant 🤰 woman "must" be induced or c-section performed within 2-3days of the original due date.....another doc says "let's wait and see" Who's "right" and who committed a "crime"?

[@mchevre]

This is disturbing to me as someone who worked for a few years doing EMS ambulance transports in the area. I have personally taken hundreds of people from hospital crisis centers and emergency rooms around metro Detroit to Stonecrest, Harbor Oaks, and many other psych hospitals. The idea that I may have been part of this criminal doctor's kidnapping racket is deeply unsettling. Of course, I know the majority of people I transported truly needed help and I was part of that help - but people being held without medical reason for profit is obscenely unethical. This needs to be investigated across the board as it's almost certain that if one doctor found a way to turn this into something profitable, that others may have too. Add this to the never-ending list of why healthcare shouldn't be a for profit business in the first place.

“I felt kidnapped” is exactly how I describe my being held unnecessarily and against my will in a nursing home after surgery. I expected to go home from the hospital after 3 or 4 days, and the surgery went very well. Instead I was sent to what ended up being the nursing home from hell and was told their doctor (who I never once saw) could keep me there for even as much as nine months. 🥺 They also said that if I left, my insurance would not cover anything. I received no care and my recovery was sabotaged. The trauma I experienced while captive there was a nightmare. My expected 3 or 4 days away from home (where everything I needed for my recovery was) turned into 17 days being trapped, alone, without the medication post-surgery that was prescribed (had to fight for that too while in pain), and intimidated. Thank God I insisted on keeping my phone and was finally able to get my doctor and one of my former students to advocate for my release. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I 100% believe you about being forced to take medication. I was in a psych ward last summer near Philly, PA.
