Maybe one of the differences that one was a private hospital and to be a Tech you had to have at least A Bachelors In Psychology. The Other Hospital A New Unit And Restraints Were A last Resort And in Those Cases At The 72 hour hearing most sent to Another hospital. But it may have been a while since I worked but was recently told that the criteria for admission now is suicide, psychosis, Mania, Scizophrenia. So no med changes anymore. Jay I'd never wish the hospital on anyone at anytime. I've also been in one so have been on the other side. But Treatment was very good for me that is. Own bathrooms and showers and all kinds of referrals to others like neurologists. Being locked didn't bother me personally as I knew that is the way the system works. I think a lot of us are having hard times now also. But your're a wonderful person to me and truly emphathize with your horrific condition. May you continue you quest for wellness. you will suceed.
