A place that people are forcefully sent to receive psychiatric "help" by unsympathetic staff (including psychiatrists) that don't know

Kids and teenagers are shoveled in like dogs in a pound. A majority of the time, nothing gets solved...If anything, it adds to your trauma with the horrors of what you see there and how you're treated.
