[thejameskan]

[therage198911]

[therage198911]

i am 25 i have been hospitalized a number of times, the experience is very frustrating, MOST mental hospital staff are not right for the job, they need to be alot more sensative and kind knowing that the people theyre dealing with are in an alternate reality that at times can be very scary to us. i have seen staff members get verbaly and physically abusive, patients being put in seclusion and often strapped down for unwarranted reason, they love to threaten you into doing what they want....

[rickybarningham]

@rickybarningham ......and more often then not they break rules and laws about patient rights, no one will listen to a mental patient ESPEACIALLY while he is currently hospitalized, and the lawyers that are supposed to represent us usually are aquaintences of the hospital (staff,doctors etc) so they care about the interest of the hospital more then ours, unless we can afford our own attorneys, which most cant.

[rickybarningham]

@rickybarningham fact is (in the case of schizophrenia) in other parts of the world people we could call schizo are looked at as having a sensativity to the supernatural/spiritual world. we are looked up to in other countries and cultures instead of looked down on, told were crazy, and shoved pills with horrible side effects down our throat. i haooen to believe that what i go through is a supernatural thing NOT a disorder

[rickybarningham]

@rickybarningham fact is "schizophrenics" in other countries can be off medication and function alot better then the ones over here who are told theyre crazy and they dont know whats real, halucinations (auditory and visual) are not all in our heads, they are things happening in the supernatural realm, we act out in odd sumtimes dangerous measures becuz we are told what were experiencing isnt real, its much healthier to look at it from another point of view rather then "your insane,take drugs"

[rickybarningham]

@rickybarningham they used to labotomize people in mental hospitals, they STILL to this day can give electroshock thearpy against our will (they need a court order) i myself have been left in my own urine,strapped down, shot up with drugs, and lied about in my patient file. this would be a horrible thing, but what makes it more cruel (in the case of schizo) is its not even a disorder or affliction, it is an ability or a sensativity to the spirit world, which makes this treatment more unwarranted

[gypsytearss1]

Lol there's nothing wrong with you man..and what is depression? Everything is in theory anyway. Nobody knows shit about what true happiness is except for you. I've talked to a physc before and all they want is your 300.00 to talk to and bullshit for 30 mins. They make you think theirs something wrong with you but there's really something wrong with them lol.

[CathySander]

It reminds me of the results of the Standford prison experiment during the 1970s conducted by Zimbardo...It sounds unfortunately similar to how some people are treated in mental institutions.

[poosaypirate]

so who here is surprised? I'm not this is old news psychology is a pseudo science and mental institutions are nothing different than a hundred years ago.

why give these people your money?

[Iveseenlovedie]

This is a very accurate representation of mental wards today. I've been in two for a total of six times. I've been in wards in NY and NC, and in NC I see a vastly different level of care. You have your assholes on every ward, but in NY the staff was mostly wonderful and kind, I befriended my nurse and even the receptionist to the point where I relied heavily on them. In NC, the nurses and docs are very distant and cold. There's exceptions everywhere, but this is what I see.

[artsyfartsyme]

Very cool video.

[LaBellaa1984]

wauw he is making his own movie

[boognishishere]

These places are horrible. Anyone's best bet with ANY problem is to avoid getting government services involved at all costs. Parents telling their kids to go to a mental institution need to learn what family is supposed to be about.

Any facility that is funded by the government is not a good place to be. No matter what. That includes public schools. Although it is getting to the point that a person can not go anywhere that is not either funded or regulated by the government.

[Dean2315]

at least he had sport, gym, books or anything like that...

some places there's just nothing.......................­..............................­..................

THANKS alot for posting this video... there is not alot of people who share there story.. Hope now he is doing better, and that time in that mental hospital, wasnt to hurtful for him to have that bad moment burn in his mind forever. Hope he's good now, give him my support and my gradulations of being able to go through it!

You are no longer human, and you are worthless to society. Thus, you are there for pathetic reinforcement of stupidity. I like your hair because I'm a Nazi who "doesn't like people of ugly colors." No, man, I really like your hair because I've always wanted blonde hair, thus I "dyed" & colors are some weird language 2 me. I'm scared of people & would probably thrive in prison bc I'm worthless on the outside, so I suffer on.

[23432195849]

i know some of the rules of the facility seem stupid, like the crayons, but the there is a good reason, i work at a mental hospital and we use to allow the patients pens, untill a patient stabbed a co worker in the face with a pen. i'm so sorry this happened to him, and i wish him the best, but alot of the rules are there for a reason. and as for staff, there are some good staff out there.

[Dean2315]

@23432195849 Yeah there are... but sadly it is really RARE to see good staff... in about (without exagering) 30 persons i saw.. doctors, nurses, security guards... only one was nice to me, a nurse, she is the ONLY one who deserved my respect on that floor where i was... (Psychiatric Hospital) 1 on 30.. can you imagine??? I cant...

[auntanti]

@Dean2315 I can. It was my experience too. The only people in the joint with a half a brain was a nurse, and one doctor. Then the rest just abandon to the garbage heap as "unfixable." I was basically interrogated on drugs and alcohol, and accused me of being drunk. I had nothing in my system. Yet the bitch who admitted me insisted I reeked of alcohol. I spent 6 days in a detox ward with nothing to detox from, except the meds they gave me.

[pampers1919]

Poor, poor ,poor, stupid people. If you wouldnt give into the general population and be a "claiment" to "depression/bipolar/ whatever they wanna call it to this day, you wouldnt be in the rut you are.

[pangthang123]

what song is playing in the beginning? ive heard it plenty of times but can't quite figure it out.....thanks

Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

[irishbrodie]

Can you please do something about the horrendous and disturbing noises?

[Patriciainsweden]

Can you please do something about the horrendous and disturbing noises?

I sure would love to learn about your situation as to the opposite of your experience..my own ex boyfriend kept on abusing a 40 years old man who he is supposed to look after..

[scumgod13]

Why didnt the 40 yr. old man fight back. Thats his fault. Im 36 soon 37 and aint nobody gonna abuse me. Itd be different if you said 70 yr. old man.

[Dean2315]

@scumgod13 yeah but maybe the 40 year old wasnt strong Mentally to fight back... some people who abuse others have the perfect way of doing it so as the abuse one wont fight back...

[Patriciainsweden]

Pity that the background is so extremely disturbing and I can´t hardly hear what this guy is saying!

I´m dyslexic myself and I´ve been treated with out any respect due to the ADHD diagosis!

Patricia from Colombia in Sweden"

[14chandlerr]

Nicely done,

but I can't hear well due to the loud background noises! anddd the writing is almost too fuzzy to make out! resubmitting it would be a good idea, only without alla the other junk :]

good job though!

[emcred]

Watching this video made me think that I use to have schizophrenia paranoia and depression.

[Nu13th]

Wow. All that work mucked up by crazy sounds. Re submit without the noise.

[Patriciainsweden]

Peace+Please=Pleace!

How come such an interesting information was sabotage by all those horrendous noises..

is this a part of the Psycho situation this guy ended in...

Is there a video with out all these annoying background noises?

Am I missing something here?

Am i the only one who reacts to that horrendous music? or what ever is that call?

[hpdj6620]

completly agree with you and I won't "watch" that interesting topic till the end, because of that noise... or is that music ?

any way: one lesson to draw from this movie, power cuts can only improve mental state as only real musicians would remain

[ALonelyTragedy]

Your video is really super good. Too bad about the bad buzzy background noise.

[ninjaofthe9seas]

what a shit hole.

[ninjaofthe9seas]

the place not any of the people...

[ninjaofthe9seas]

i'm glad my depression didnt get this bad...

[fleabittengray]

i'm glad, too

[Dean2315]

@ninjaofthe9seas Lucky for you. Glad for you :)

[Laurisa718]

Thanks for the warning.

[MJASMINE09]

wow is it just me but that guy is hot lol =)

[dakfe427]

Dude, I live in Catonsville, how cool is that. Great vid.

[LimpNoodled]

Repeat after me every morning...

I am not messed up - everyone else is...

I am not messed up - everyone else is...

& give the girls a rest - your wearing yourself out.

[IlSn1p3rIl]

I was locked in GlenRose for 4 years of my adolensence, When i was 10 until i was 14. Padded rooms, fiber glass windows, it was crazy

[cricket34]

Really? Why did you have to go there?

[rachelradd]

wow,i went to the exact hospitals.

i know how he feels.

[ssdiforlife]

I am a petite female. I was ATTACKED by three male hospital staff at Alexandria Hospital in VA. for not speaking when spoken to. I was just standing there. Bad treatment is still going on. But what does the public care if it isn't happening to them!!!

[TrueQueen4L]

I h@t3 that is happened 2 U May God Bless U I will pray 4 and about things like that

[00cipher]

@ssdiforlife I am also female, and was in my room when the nurses called the security guards because I wasn't following directions. I was carried down the hall by four male security guards, held down and sedated. I was then left in confinement until I'd oblige with their demand to sit up on the edge of the cot, but I was passed out and unable to move from the shot.

[Dean2315]

@ssdiforlife Thats right, most have no idea how it really is, till they are into the bad treatment.. i'm sorry for what happen to you! it should've NEVER happen. I hope you're not too hurt bout that, cuz i know how those bad treatment can get stock in your mind every damn day after...

I planning to make that change, i dont rally know how for now but i will try everything i can no matter how i do it to make this change...

[TheCataIyst]

@ssdiforlife Well that's your fault. You should've replied?

[alliecat889]

@TheCataIyst That doesnt call for being 'attacked'.

[TheCataIyst]

@alliecat889 I don't mean to sound like a douche, but so what? If she only replied to whoever spoke to her, that mess would have never occurred. Sure, attacking someone for that is unnecessary, but it could've easily been avoided. When someone talks to you, you answer them!

[alliecat889]

@TheCataIyst yeah but what if your incapable of speech? A lot of mentally disabled people lack the ability to be able to properly communicate or even understand what others are saying.

[BCpunk09]

really great quality video. Im taking abnormal and developmental psychology atm and this is really is a really informative interview of someone who has experienced what its like to be in a mental institution. great job!

[pshF0XY]

stuff like this fascinates me! great job! i loved it

[cutfastball]

my man's folks must have dough- he got a lot of attention- hope he's on to better things

[Passionatebeyez]

your welcome still as a psych major this just really grabed my attention and we can really only pray that things are much differnet now and based on some other videos i have watch Nicks evaluation of the psych ward was pretty accurate!!

[Passionatebeyez]

dude thanks for this video Im in abnormal psychology and this just stirred my heart so much that patients are still today recieving some forms of unmoral treatment!!!

[Passionatebeyez]

dude thanks for this video Im in abnormal psychology and this just stirred my heart so much that patients are still today recieving some forms of unmoral treatment!!!

[lilshortyj0306]

wow. thank you so much!!! but this is just based on one case. things may be different now. but thank you!!

[Dean2315]

@lilshortyj0306 Things arent different at all!!! It is still the same... badly it is still the same... :( :@ damn...

[lilsarrygrl05]

@Passionatebeyez

The correct term you meant was immoral and that didn't sound bad to me at all. Ok, so the nurses weren't friendly so what. Do you have any idea how bad these hospitals used to be? I am all for fair treatment but many of the people in these hospitals were sent there instead of prison so I would say that is a pretty fair trade for whatever crimes they might have committed.

Anyway, nice video lilshorty. It is cool to see someone's perspective from the inside.

[thatgraffkid92]

@Passionatebeyez to help you out the one i was in had no gym,no books,they only give you meds before bed so they dont have to deal with you.they didnt let me have shoes,they made me take the lace off my hoodie and before i went up and had my gowns i punched a wall got put in a fullnelson hip tossed to the floor and they choked me till i was choking on my own flem and blood they then gave me a needle and restrained me.my eye was cut and bruised from being hip tossed and lip was busted
