Do not let yourself be talkied into it voluntarily (they will do that if they have no legal reason to commit you).

I 100% agree with this.

I was once talked into going into a mental institution. I realised afterwards it was because as you said, they didn't have enough to commit me. They pulled this trick repeatedly throughout my stay, then denied it outright when I left, saying no one had ever done this - which I found out later is also a trick of theirs.

So don't make my mistake. Educate yourself.

I suggest having a 'buddy' who has agreed beforehand will take a phone call at any time, and will get you out of hospital if the worst comes to the worst. That's the method I use now.

In hospital, they pumped me full of dangerous drugs (they had misdiagnosed me, then increased my medication each time I told them it was not working and the drugs were having a bad effect on my condition). The side effects of the inappropriate drugs remained with me for years. I could not work for a long time just because of the side effects.

Mental health professionals really don't have a clue about the brain - which the good ones admit. Treatments remain barbaric. I personally witnessed bullying of patients, electric shock therapy without consent, patients being attacked/molested etc - I witnessed this all. It was common. It's not a dramatic narrative device for melodramatic movies. It really happens.

Many of the nurses seeemed to see the patients as subhumans without proper feelings. There were good nurses as well, but it only takes one to ruin your life when you're vulnerable and not allowed to leave their abuse.

I will never, ever go into a mental hospital again. Perhaps patient care will improve in 100 years time. At the moment it's not there.

They had a saying in the hospital 'if you're not mad when you come in, you will be once you've been here'. This was the nurses joking about the patients. They knew that staying there made patients a lot worse. Yet nothing was done. The good nurses could do nothing but watch it happen.

Don't do it. Don't be like me. Don't go in. Educate yourself about your rights. They like to get you when you're vulnerable so do your research when you're well.

If you have a doctor who doesn't admit he/she is pretty much in the dark about mental illness, change them immediately. Bad doctors think they have all the answers and will promise to cure you if you do what they say. Watch out for these people: they are highly dangerous and can ruin your life.

I have a good doctor now who works with me and stops any medication when it isn't working. But the damage from before has been already done and will stay with me physically, probably forever (over 10 years later, I still have side effects from the wrongly prescribed medication).
