Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons?

In theory it’s for safety, both for the patient and the workers. A lot of the point of inpatient facilities is to monitor the people, and ensure they can’t harm themselves or others, while their circumstances or medications get sorted out.

That’s not to say every facility is perfect, and that’s not saying anything about you. But generally, it’s for their own good.

Yeah when I complained about my treatment, they said it’s for my and others safety and to calm down. Even if they’re right, it’s still a really horrible experience.

  So they gaslit you in to complying with their ill treatment..
  There is zero logic to the idea that treating mentally ill people like shit is actually helping them, and anyone trying to convince you otherwise either has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and/or is just a run of the mill ableist who thinks we somehow deserve it for being such a pain in their asses.
