I feel my birthmother, who I later got a restraining order against, used the mental health system as a punishment tool against me. She took me from doctor to doctor who said there was nothing wrong with me until she took me to Dr. Katherine L. Chastain Lorber MD- the next thing I knew I was labeled "5150" and the only child on the Marin General Crisis Unit- it was terrifying. On the crisis unit one time there was a guy who thought he was Jesus and another time a girl who thought she could talk to her dead baby through her walkman. After being taken to the Marin General Crisis Unit, I was then admitted to Ross Hospital and my first night there a girl in the bed next to mine tried to end her life by choking herself with a shoelace and her face was all purple. Dr. Lorber admitted and re-admitted me to Marin General Crisis Unit and Ross Hospital a total of four times for no particular reason- I have read my psyche records and noticed a pattern of Dr. Lorber stating I said some things I never said. The truth is that what I told her was that I didnt need to be there, I didnt have the illnesses she claimed I had and that the medications she gave me were making me sick and I didnt need them. I never attempted to hurt myself, I wasnt suicidal and I didnt have any mental/psychiatric conditions. I didnt even have a juvenille record other than the times my birthmother would make false missing person reports against me when she knew where I was at. I couldnt get a lawyer in the system until I was 16. Ross Hospital exhausted insurance benefits and I was misdiagnosed and drugged for conditions I never had and to this day never have had. All I ever wanted was to go to a foster home. When I refused medications that made me sick and tried to escape from Braun Place I was sent to Provo Canyon School Utah for 21 months where I was psychologically tortured: drugged, punished in the form of stress positions, locked in brick rooms for days/weeks/I lost count, tied to a restraint bed and endured inhumane "therapy" like "no-talk orders" where I had to carry a shoebox around and if I spoke a word to anybody my "peers" tattled on me by writing what I said on a piece of paper and putting that paper in the shoebox and I was then punished for each word I spoke in the form of points that accumulated and the only way to get rid of them was to stand or sit in stress positions for hours a day and when I continued to talk I was then thrown into the brick "observation" room. Did I mention I had to wear pink sweats for weeks+ while having to carry that stupid shoebox around?! I dont know how I got out of PCS except that my "therapist" Megan Hamblin aka Edna Chloe Wimmer's license expired the day I got out. My birthmother was threatening to keep me in Provo Canyon School until I was 18! I still have nightmares about this period of my life waking up in cold sweats/punching/kicking/crying/screaming and suffer from PTSD. Please look for yourself @www.provotruthexposed under 1991, Sage
