I was recently involuntarily held in a mental hospital where I went through prison like conditions (strip search, had to wear scrubs, was locked in a room outside certain times a day, stuff like that) and thankfully came out in one piece after 8 days of this crap. I was just wondering why we subject people to these conditions when they haven’t even committed a crime?

    I’m sry, but I’ve been to lots of psych wards in Germany, and none were anywhere near this restricting, and there weren’t many incidents.

    Patients attack you cause your system treats them like convicts. Treat them like a human and they will react way better

      Imagine having to explain such an obvious fact of life to someone who claims to work in mental health, and what that means for the people they’re in charge of “helping”… 🤯
