I was recently involuntarily hospitalized for a week, and during the admission/intake process I was strip searched and forced to shower. I’m not here to complain, I’m just wondering why they have to treat us like prisoners?

      They don’t take in hundreds of people per day. They might not even average one person per day. There’s no way it would be worth the $150-200K it would cost.

      Unfortunately, our mental health institutions don’t receive as much funding as they deserve. One out of every five adults in the US is living with a mental illness (source). I know I would be really pissed off if someone strip-searched me and forced me to shower.

        Yeah exactly. If they’re going to imprison ppl, at least don’t be stingy about it
