The first time I was there about 10 years ago. I was under the impression that if you check yourself in you may only have to stay a few days. After being held on a courthold for 2 weeks and custody temporarily takin from me. They wanted to send me to Richmond state hospital at the time. They also gave me thorazine and I felt like I was going to die in there. My grandmother had to call up there and threatened to sue the Anderson center if they didnt release me. They diagnosed me as bipolar, paranoid schizophrenia, and manic depressant you would think me being on ability 1000 mg. Of depakote er and buspar and hydroxyzine they would give me disability, but no IVE been denied more than once. It was life changing not for the good they feed you good, most of them are nice. When I couldnt sleep they gave me a shot in my behind I do believe it was thorazine I then felt like I was going to die I couldnt even walk. I know it scared some of the other patients as well as me. I was going through a very rough time but with all the meds they had put me on I was so tired lazy and hungry like a zombie. In the past 5 months Ive not been taking anything but my high blood pressure med. And Im pretty good. I will say its scary in there and my blood pressure was up the whole time I was so anxious. The first time I also would joke a lot but anyone who hadnt been eating properly and barely sleeping is going to be talking and acting out of the ordinary. I know I have issues and I understand the whole chemical imbalance but to over medicate someone to where they cant work..the second time was last summer had a huge break down it was scary I didnt want to go but I did need help so I went for one day I think they seen I was doing better than last time they changed my meds. I do think they were a little nervous because of how my first trip went. Im not sure if I am all of the things they wrote on paper, but I do know people will downgrade and judge you And talk very mean about anyone who is battling mental problems. I deal with things in my life daily.

As an adolescent, I was treated like a dog by staff members during my 2 week stay for cutting my own throat and obviously somehow surviving. Obviously I was going through a tough mental state at the time, and majority of the staff treated me like I was a lesser being for having mental issues. And, not much, if anything at all was taught to us to help rehabilitate us in any way. And we were never allowed outdoors. My little brother on FAMILY DAY was forced to stay outside on a bench while my dad visited me, he was heartbroken about it. A lot of things I could keep saying that might sound like nonsense bi#%*ing, but stay in there or any facility of that sort for more than a couple weeks and you would understand completely!!! I was 16 at the time and Im 25 now still suffering from the same mental illnesses but worse now. Never got the help I needed...

I went for various reasons. The staff is supposed to be compassionate (which they are) but they are not there to be a best friend. They are there to help us get well and stay well. Follow up is key. IOP, Outpatient.... etc.

I didnt go here, but I tried to call them to ask some questions, and no one will speak to you or return your calls. Very unprofessional.
