I believe in keeping locked wards for those patients who are in need of allowing someone else manage their survival for them because their illness makes it difficult for them to manage it for themselves. I was in a locked ward for severe psychotic mania on two occasions. It is the only environment in which I would stay the length of time necessary to find a treatment to get me past the acute psychotic episode. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything for the depression.
