The walls are almost always blue-green. lol.

The staff are like parental in how they treat the patients, and the patients are kinda stressed in all sorts of ways. Some behaviours are unpredictable and some are just like depressive.

No, Happy, I've been in a private one though that took Medicare and Medicaid, and I think the staff there are much like hospital staff everywhere, some care, some are indifferent, some are just there to do a job and patients or clients are just part of it. Patients are like they are anywhere in psychiatric care, some are worse than others, some don't seem like they need to be there, and others are just not right and do weird things and mean things. Bipolar meds rule, don't they, Happy! Now I play well with others and don't run with scissors. Yes i was in a state hospital. How they can call them hospitals are unknown to me. To me staff was cruel and mean I had NO rights at all. This was more like a jail than a hospital. I was their for 3 months.Don't really remember how i got their or why but I had to stay i coulden leave. As for the other people that was in their with me some seemed to need to be their and some just said that it was a joke. I was some of the ones that said it was a joke and it was. I can remember one time i made one or the Gard's mad and i was put in a diapers and forced to wear diapers for 3 days why i have no ideal. And yes i had to use them to I guess it was just part of their way of being cruel i don't know. All and all it was an experience i DON'T want to try again.
