Western Mental Health Institute

I was sent here when I was 15 years old for 30 days. I'm now 40 years old. They made us set in a room similar to a doctor's waiting room from the time we woke up in tell the time we went to bed at night. You were rarely allowed to speak. You could only get up out of your seat to use the bathroom. You were not allowed to fall asleep in the chairs. You never went outside. The most common form of punishment for breaking rules such as whispering to the boy next to you would earn you an injection of thorazine. They walked through our sleeping corders one night and injected every boy in the room that was awake because two boys were talking. Resist the injection and you were strapped to a bed. I watch boys become addicted to the thorazine. They would sometimes misbehave just for the injection. To this day I struggle speaking in groups of people do to the mental trauma I went through at this "torcher factory". I can not believe this place is still in operation! It should be leveled for it's over one hundred years of abuse it has imposed on its patients.

I was employed here from April to October 2022. When you first start training they teach you how to handle the patients and how to care for them but once you get inside, all bets are off. I witnessed so much abuse towards the patients there it was worse than criminal. The RNs (registered nurses) dont care. They encourage it. As long as they dont see it, they dont care If you actually care about your loved one DO NOT send them here for treatment. And if you plan on working here, make sure youre comfortable with verbally and physically abusing the most vulnerable people in our country.
