I attended San Diego County Psychiatric emergency as I have panick attacks and have have lots of family and financial difficulties. I was a counselor myself for many years. Felt I had put myself in jail treated like a criminal with people with serious problems. Was there for 4 hours at the end I just wanted to leave. They tried to boss me around and i was most upset stuck in a cell with a security officer on the door, sure it's for our own safety attitude of staff you are a danger until proven otherwise. Psychiatrist somewhat helpful.. Security just doing job. Felt like one flew over the cookoo nest as jail door closed behind me on way in.. Never go there again feel like I'm traumatised. So angry and upset when I left. Felt like it was the 18000s and I had been charged with some crime!!! Thanks so much for supporting me....NOT. Being from another country was so shocked and disturbed at this out of date facility, listening to wailing patients being restrained by cops a drug addict spewing up in front of me plus another young guy in the room laughing and touching his penis. Terrible experience would not put a dog there.
