If I can give them no stars I would. I would never recommend anyone seeking help for themselves or others to go here. My experience was terrible not all but majority of the staff sucks. They lie and try to manipulate you into believing your mental is worse than what it is. I went in with good faith just to be shown different. I voluntarily went in to get checked up and I was calm, cool and collective just to be sent to the 4th floor and was threatened to be sent to court because I wanted to sign my self out. Ive witnessed co workers not only treating each other bad to treating some patients like the were incompetent. I was judged like they were god. Instead of understanding the patient so they have a clear idea on how to help the diagnose you with what they think is your problem but at the end of the day your nothing but a dollar sign and a practice dummy. How can anyone receive help or even progress when they are being belittled, the energy and vibes are atrocious. You will never mentally receive peace, enlightenment or even feel like your close to being the best you that you can be by being in there. Ive been thinking of a way to create a helpful as well as a safe place for people that need mental help. Theres got to be a better way for people to receive help without feeling like a nuisance or feeling betrayed by the system. We all look for peace and tranquillity and we all deserve it no matter what kind of help we need. Even though its not my fault I want to apologize to everyone who has to deal with any of their mess. If I can help I will try. Theres better solutions than them.

If you ever need to send a loved one or admit yourself to a psych ward, DO NOT go here. Staying on the 4th floor was the worst experience I've ever had in a hospital. The psych techs were very unprofessional, clearly in SC there's no requirement for psych techs to have any knowledge of mental health. They started drama between patients, would discriminate against certain patients, and weren't really anything more than trashy security guards. Patients were allowed to constantly antagonize others without any consequences or real attempt to stop them. My doctor, Dr. Brar, only made things worse. He misdiagnosed me, despite me telling him that the diagnosis he had given me was wrong as I had already been evaluated for it many times. Then he put me on meds for the diagnosis which had horrible effects, and refused to take me off of them or prescribe me the right medication which I had a prescription for. None of the doctors or therapists believe in advocating for yourself in order to get the help you need. Even if you try to speak them respectfully, they see it as defiance and nothing more than a symtpom of your mental illness, and even the slightest disagreement will lead to them just upping your dosages. They don't care about helping anyone, they just zombify you with meds so you'll shut up and they can get you out and put the next person in your bed. Because most of the people that are admitted are junkies/homeless, the staff is very jaded and they treat everyone the same way instead of treating people based on their needs. If you or someone you care about needs emergency mental health treatment you're better off going to someplace in NC because this hospital lacks the resources and professionalism to truly help anyone recover.
