ME

Melanie LeMay

The reviews below are true. This place is equivalent to a prison. I was brutally suffering from severe OCD and planned to go to Butler. There were no beds at the time so my only option was Bradley. I immediately met the staff who started to treat me like a psychopath. They constantly followed me around and asking if I was going to kill my mom or heard voices. I had a type of OCD that revolved around fears of hurting others. Since I did in fact had OCD I sobbed after each interrogation. I met with my doctor a little bit after and described my symptoms. SHE NEVER TOLD ME WHAT MY DIAGNOSIS WAS, DID AN IQ TEST FOR SOME UNKNOWN FREAKING REASON, PRESCRIBED MEDS THAT WERENT PROVEN TO TREAT OCD, REFUSED TO PUT ME ON A SSRI, AND SAID I COULDNT BE HELPED. SHE EVEN CONSIDERED I SHOULD RECEIVE NEUROSURGERY. I was infuriated by this bullshit and demanded another psychiatrist (who was not from Bradley.). I sat with her for about 20 minutes and she was calm, cool, and collected. She said I definitely had OCD and was perplexed that the doctor didnt figure it out on the first day. She was ticked I wasnt on a SSRI. I think she told my doctor off because after that I was finally prescribed a SSRI and treated like a human being. On my final day my doctor came up to me handing me the discharge papers. I was like "what now?" She said I was too challenging. SHE DIDNT REFER ME TO A BETTER PLACE FOR MY CHRONIC CONDITION. SHE THREW ME TO THE WOLVES OF MY OCD. Staff would scream at you to get up, you were locked in a tiny activity room all day, werent allowed to go outside in an enclosed area, staff seemed to love pissing off patients, they said I was extremely dangerous despite me exhibiting no symptoms of true homicidal tendencies, and often ignored my cries for help. The nurses were the only people decent. Most were very kind and comforting. However, most were clueless. IN CONCLUSION, NEVER COME HERE FOR ANY MENTAL CONDITION. GO TO BUTLER. Butler was extremely on top of things and told me my diagnosis. They added other OCD treatable medicines to combat it. Staff was enlightening and very friendly. If you needed to talk to someone, they would come right away. BUTLER LET YOU GO OUTSIDE AND FREELY ROAM THE WARD. They never made you feel frightened. Thats all.

Felt like prison. Structured kinda the same way. Unpleasant experience. Not worth it in the long run. My experience leading up to entering the hospital, and being forced to stay there was rough. They make you swallow pills that do nothing for you. After leaving i ended up getting a counselor because of how traumatic my experience was and i was diagnosed with PTSD. I did not learn anything by being there, other than i never want to end up in a place like that again.. I had such a sense of relief after leaving.
