Juliette,
If you are checking this please contact me through the forum. I'd like ot talk to you about this post. I have similar experience in another place maybe we should compare notes.

98% OF THOSE PEOPLE PLACED IN THOSE INSTITUTIONS WERE NOT CRAZY.
MOST OF THEM WERE POOR, HOMELESS, ORPHANS, AND FELT DEPRESSED WHICH IS TOTALLY NORMAL IN THOSE CONDITIONS OF LIFE.
THE DOCTORS WERE LABELING THEM AS CRAZY TO DO LIVE EXPERIMENTS ON THEM.
THEY WERE USING THOSE PEOPLE AS GUINY PIGS.
THERE WERE BABIES, CHILDREN, WOMEN, PREGNANT WOMEN AND MEN.
THEY WERE GIVEN DIFFERENT HIGH DOSAGE OF DRUGS AND DIFFERENTS EXPERIMENTS AND SURGERIES TO CHECK THE SIDE EFFECTS IT WOULD PRODUCE ON THEM.
THOSE PEOPLE BECAME ZOMBIES AND WERE KEPT IN CONFINEMENT TILL THEIR DEATHS.
THERE WAS LOTS OF LOBOTOMIES, PIERCING THE BRAINS, INJECTING DRUGS DIRECTLY TO THEIR HEART, INJECTING VERY HIGH DOSAGE OF INSULIN WHICH PRODUCED COMA AND DEATH.
ONCE SOMEONE WAS PLACED OR ENTERING IN THOSE INSTITUTIONS, THERE WAS ONLY A WAY OUT FOR MOST OF THEM... DEATH.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY YOU SEE METAL BARS ON ALL THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS WERE KEPT LOCKS LIKE A PRISON.
IT WAS A BIG CONSPIRACY KEPT SECRETLY BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT, THE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND THE ARMY.
SOME RELIGIONS WERE ALSO INVOLVED BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS BELONGED TO EITHER CATHOLICS, AND/OR PROTESTANTS.
EVERY STATE OR PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTION HAD THEIR MORGUE AND REFRIGERATOR AND THEIR GRAVE IN THE BACK OF THEIR INSTITUTION.
SHAME TO THE GOVERNMENT, CIA, ARMY DOCTORS, AND WHOEVER WORKED IN THOSE INSTITUTIONS AND DIDN'T DISCLOSED ALL THE CRIMES AND SUFFERANCE THOSE VICTIMS ENDURED.

Okay, again, coming up about six years behind with comment, but I agree with Nif from Aug. 2006. Keep in mind this was a psychiatric facility. It seems like the point is that it is okay to be different. I didn't get a homosexual vibe from it at all. I do agree though that it does strongly resemble the Peanuts gang.

Thank you, Joe for the link above.. This subject is so vast and ALL SO NEW to me.
Belongings; our things, you can put a price-tag on that.
but DIARIES! You can´t put a price on a diary in the same way.
What a person thought and wrote is an asset; we can learn from that.
This is a great site, excellent pictures, with clever comments from the followers. am enjoying and learning a lot every time i visit.
Thank you Mr. Mott, all the hours of hard work shared generously for us to understand and learn.

Yes, thought it was chicken wire at first, too. Squirrel; bushy tail, got in and did not get out. Like the picture you take, so simply complicated! Great gallery!

everything is so clean! i love it

it looks like the walls are bleeding

looks like a jail

One more thing. It is important we all have different experiences. While a few people may like being restrained, some feel trapped. For many it reenacts trauma from past abuse. This is true for people with mental illness, DD, children, whoever.

almost every psych hospital has seclusion rooms. Hospitals which are better managed and aren't overcrowded use them less. Hospitals where the staff are well trained in conflict management and trauma use them less. Hospitals that involve the patients in their treatment plan use them infrequently. A few including a few forensic hospitals don';t use them at all. On the other hand, on the extreme some hospitals use them as punishment for not following rules or talking back. Both staff and patients are sometimes injured, Patients are sometimes stripped of their clothes and traumatized. Seclusion and restraint are horrible. Many mental health professionals and patients view S&R as treatment failure. African American and Hispanic patients are restrained and injured significantly more than whites. Today patients are still killed. More often they are not used anymore as punishment. They are used when a person is agitated or angry or is hurting theirself. Some places are trained to teaching patients skills to deal with their emotions effectively instead of acting them out, Those are they hospitals where they are seldom used. they are used in special education, and sometimes children suffocate. Very sad. Their is a movement to change seclusion rooms into comfort rooms. There may be stuffed animals to hold, murals on the walls or soft colors and a comfortable chair or two. The client has the freedom to go in the room and deescalate if they are frustrated, or ground themselves if they are frightened or feel like hurting themselves. I go through difficult periods when i am in the hospital, but i have never seen a comfort room. It would be nice,

are there any seclusion/padded rooms still in use in psychiatric care in the US? If not when did they go out of use?
