I spent 10 minutes with a psychiatrist, who told me I was bi polar and put me on Latuda. This was both a mis diagnosis, also the medication caused me to have a false positive urine analysis taken at my primary care doctors office. My doctor discharged me as a patient for submitting a false positive urine test because I was told by Dr. Alsadi that I am bi polar and to take the Latuda he prescribed me.
Frightening facility. Only one psychiatrist for all patients. Foreign born guy who likes to "hug" female patients. No hot water in shower. Horrible nursing staff.
