Abuse of Mentally Ill
It has been a couple of years since I first posted about my traumatic experience at Peachford. I still have nightmares about it. A few things I forgot to mention in my first post. Although your room is in a separate place from the opposite sex, you still are around them when you have meals or if you go out in the dog pen like area to smoke. Every day when I went to meals I was accosted by a male patient who kept hugging me and holding me against my will, asking me for my phone number etc. I tried to let it go because I did not want to cause trouble, but when I finally did report it I was told just that ... not to make trouble... I couldn't prove it etc. I think the doctor I was assigned to (Honablue sp?) was one of the worst. I still can't believe she cut me off my medication cold turkey and they wouldn't give me anything to help me sleep. Not only that, but she mocked the fact that I had tried to kill myself, and she constantly threatened that she could keep me locked up there as long as she wanted. I did hear from other patients that there is a male doctor there who is much nicer. The only way you can get out is to just agree with everything they say, tell them you feel better when you really don't, praise them and tell them how much they have helped you, and constantly tell them how sorry you are for whatever you did that got you put there. Another patient pulled me aside one day when I was crying in view of the staff and told me I better get hold of myself because if they see you like that you will never get out. Thank God, somebody told me how to get out of there. They do make you strip when you first get there and they also take photos of you which they keep in your file. I could have lived with the hard beds, terrible food, but the treatment by Dr. Honablue was uncalled for and potentially dangerous. I want everyone to know how horrible that place was. Please do not go there or let your loved ones go. I can't emphasize it enough.
