Saw a post earlier that’s like “psych wards aren’t evil and scary! fearmongering does more harm than good” and it’s like have you spoken to literally anyone with a negative experience with institutionalization, of which there are Many

I spent all of a WEEK in a modern and fairly chill psych ward and still wanted to die bc it was like a minimum security prison minus weight benches and the opportunity to go outside. I was only allowed to leave bc I agreed to start taking medication for a condition I didn’t have.

Many people have had much worse experiences than that, including actual straight-up abusive conditions. Mental healthcare is desperately in need of reform so maybe let’s not embrace our Shiny Constructive CBT-Approved Outlook to the point where we ignore that lol
