The nurses and mental health staff play favorites, and treat anyone they don't like with disrespect and contempt. You will only see a therapist once or twice, the rest of the time is spent sitting and taking notes in group...because that totally helps, right? Art Therapy doesn't heal PTSD or depression.
I was totally disregarded by the doctors, put on nearly 10 medications that I DIDN'T need, and treated like a criminal because one of the patients attacked me unprovoked. They believed the person who attacked me and did not even ask for my side of the story, and released this dangerous person back into the unit less than 24 hours later while I was still there! After I threatened to sue they allowed me to leave.
I left feeling worse than I did before I arrived. This place is pathetic, and there is only one incredibly inept doctor servicing 50+ adults and their medication needs. While I was there, FOUR separate attacks occurred in my unit, including the one against me. I felt very unsafe the entire time, when I wasn't feeling ignored. This place should be investigated.
