I have a similar experience that I wrote about on my blog. I would link it, but I'm not wanting to connect those two online identities. Essentially, I wasn't even at risk of suicide, but my crazy psychiatrist thought he knew better then me and my parents. Mental hospitals are absolutely dehumanizing. They are basically prisons for those who haven't committed any crimes. There are strip searches just like prisons. You are not allowed any outside things (stuffed animals, normal clothes, etc). Maybe prisons should start using sedatives for torture as well. Maybe I should patent the idea and make bank.

Also to make things worse: those suffering mental health issues are very vulnerable and easy to abuse in these facilities
