Should user "Trollish and Suspicious" go to the psych ward?

[Captain Chromosome]

It's a wonderful place. I was temporarily placed in a ward up at Lake Winnepesaukee when I got a bit too close to my therapist's family. Lovely folks!
The aides loved my jokes and I've got nothing negative to say about it.

I can watch crazy people and be abusive to them?
Shit, where do I sign up?

Get a job with the NHS

Or a care home. I don't know what other countries are like but Britain has some really bad ones with terrible carers.

sometimes I imagine the walls of my apartment are padded and I tie myself up with a bedsheet like a straitjacket and then I run around ramming my head into the walls really hard to try and open my sixth chakra and achieve moksha

I didn't see any padded walls and I doubt they use straight-jackets.

Their way of dealing with crazies is chemical lobotomy. A med to high dose of an anti-psychotic will leave any crazy sitting like a good little boy or girl doing nothing but sit and stare at the wall all day.

Fun fact- If they suspect patients of hiding the pills to spit out, they can be given sublingual pills. These quickly dissolve in the mouth. Outright refusers of medication (you have the right to refuse if you are there voluntarily, but not if detained under the mental health act) will simply have an army of staff holding them down and a slow release forcibly injected into them.

ECT (electro-convulsive-therapy) like you see in One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest is also still at thing with the NHS disturbingly, although it's use fell a lot thanks to the movie. Some badly educated health professionals actually think it's a good thing when it basically just gives one brain damage. It will never be given against one's will but they will give it to anyone who asks.

We need a modern day Cuckoo Nest movie to draw attention to bad psychiatry practices again.
