I'm not crazy and I have been admitted into "mental" hospitals almost ten times since 2008 and I have spent countless months in rehabilitation programs (Jan 2008 to early 2009 was my longest continuous stay). I have bipolar and Borderline Personality disorder and I can function OK when I'm medicated. In the psych ward I've only met a few people who seriously seemed "off their rocker." I guess I had my moments at the hospitals like you would see on TV or whatever, but I wasn't walking around muttering to myself all the time and neither were the other patients (I was on regular security, not low security, it's just not REALISTIC to assume that everyone at a mental hospital is out of their mind). i have seen people get restrained many times, though, but if you were forced to stay at one of those shitholes against your will, you wouldn't be too happy either.

You're ignorant as hell.

This picture is so eerie.., the majority of hospitals I've been to, all still open/running today, are awful. Looking at the pictures of this abandoned hospital, I can imagine what it looked like when it was not in disrepair, and most of the hospitals I've been to are like dungeons compared to this one. I was at one hospital with nothing in the room but a "bed" with a rubber mattress and the window was a sliver with a grate over it.

beautiful photography, thank you for sharing
