I'd be really interested in reading about inaccuracies you found!

Anon from below

...Damn, I can't believe I forgot to mention #7. That one *always* fucking gets to me when they show someone coming in at night to visit someone else.

When my sister was hospitalized -- the most recent place -- they could have room doors closed if they were there alone and I'm pretty sure they could at least turn off the overhead light.

She says they had open doors/ten minute checks when under intense monitoring, but she was in a less acute ward and they usually went off intense monitoring after a while.

We lined up for meds in the place I was at. Then you'd give them your name and they'd give you your meds. We also had closing doors but most of the time they were closed and locked so we couldn't get in our rooms during the day. I'd close the door at night but they'd open it when they would shine flashlights around at regular intervals. (I didn't get much rest in that place.)

DA

Some of it depends on the state, and if you went to a provate facility or a state run one [the state ones aren't as nice/have a few more problems than private ones generally], but a general rule of thumb? The ones in media are way worse than the ones irl - probably in part because they're basing them on horror stories back before they psych hospitals were cleaned up.

Truth is, the real places tend to be more boring than anything else.

For more specific stuff...Electroshock therapy isn't done as a punishment ever. It's an actual treatment, and the people who are on it are willingly going through that treatment.

They don't force their patients into doing anything. If you want to skip all the sessions/groups and lay in bed all day? You can - just don't expect that to convince them to give you a clean bill of health any faster [if you're an adult you can leave whenever you want after the first 72 hours, so they don't make you stay either.] The exception to that rule is if you're actively trying hurting someone/yourself. In those cases they'll put you in what are called restraints - which are either the four point cuff system, or chemical restraints [AKA Tranquilizers], not straight jackters.

There are other things but...yeah.
