Psychiatric hospitals have an enormous amount of power that not many people realize. M1 holds can be re-applied indefinitely to basically confine you against your will. Then almost like in the old Soviet Union days, they can medicate you until you exhibit the symptoms of the diagnosis the hospital wants, thus covering up the initial reason for being admitted.
- mewpmewp2 5y agoWhen I was a teen I felt mentally very off so I asked to go to a psychiatric hospital, and my parents drove me there. I wasn't acting out or anything, just depressed. There, I was put under sedatives and with one other boy we joked how we would escape through the windows. Some nurse heard it and didn't get that we were joking. Under the influence of sedatives I put my hand on her shoulder (which I would normally not do) and tried to assure her that it was just a joke and the windows would've been impossible to escape from anyway as they were barred. Anyway she took it as an attack and few guys appeared and forced me down. They put me into this bed with straps so I couldn't move at all and injected some other sedative all the while threatening that I will never get out of here. They also didn't allow me to make any calls or anything so I was clueless about what is going on and when I will get out. Luckily next day my parents came and I was able to get out. But this was an overall terrifiyng experience for me.
