This place is a ridiculous excuse for psychiatric help! If admitted expect it to be kinda like the movie One Flew Over The Cocos Nest. Don't recommend!

I see a resident quarterly for medication management (my therapist is at a private practice), which changes every year as they come through their rotations. So far, everyone I've worked with has been great. They're willing to work with me and my therapist as a team and have helped me be proactive in planning with regard to other medical issues.

Do not I repeat DO NOT take your loved one or anyone you care about to this place. The doctors and staff here are a joke. I've witnessed staff constantly laughing at patients some of whom made jokes to me about other patients because they felt I had it better off than a lot of the other patients there. I've witnessed staff members laughing at the behaviors of others, their hair, their style of clothing for those who chose to wear their own clothes etc. It gets even worse...I've heard a manager refer to patients there as nut cases in what is supposed to be a mental institution. In my two weeks of staying there, there were FIVE fights two of which staff sat laughing at instead of breaking up the fight. For half the staff there, this place is a job where they get a paycheck and get to sit and make other's mental issues their center of entertainment and amusement. Some of the doctors are liars as well and will lie in front of a judge to make themselves look better. Probate court here is a big joke...I went through the process and told the truth and the judge didn't even look in my direction as if I was not worthy of her to listen to me because after all, I am in a mental institution. Sadly I have been here twice and the first time several years ago, the doctors were actually nice. Now the majority of them don't know what they're talking about and think they know everything based off info they learned in their textbooks . If you care about your loved one, take heed to not take them here or they will probably get worse while there watching staff members clown others who may have the same mental illness as them or if they have anxiety they'll get more anxious witnessing the violence where staff finds it too funny or is too scared to break up the fights. By the way, I am not someone who always had a disability and in fact whole being disabled, I have managed to graduate with a BA in accounting with a 3.5gpa and worked the entire time so my case is not as bad as others. If i could give them o or negative 1 stars, I would.

My psychiatrist is always late by around 30-50 minutes and when I was in 2 North I was in for a week and nobody seemed to care that I was going to be sent back to my abusive household. I talked to police, social workers, doctors, they all said I had to go back to my father's house after I left and said I'd have to wait until I was 18 to move out, which is incorrect. In the state of South Carolina you can move out at 17. Also while there, nobody seemed to get help. They took me off medicine that was working and put me on medicine that made me sick to my stomach without even warning me about the medicine switch. They just treat you like a child and yell at you if you talk about yourself to other people. Also at night when one certain staff member had night shift his shoes would squeak all night long and I had to struggle to get to sleep. Also I got yelled at for signing a kids cast but whatever. Some people in there would get yelled at for talking or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and get called out and humiliated which could definitely make their mental state much worse. Also I'm about positive there was mold/mildew in the showers so I asked my grandparents to bring me some shower sandals, which didn't help much at all. In conclusion, if I could give it a 0 I would. I have been mentally scarred by the way some kids were treated in there, although I wouldn't call it abusive or anything, and it's definitely an experience getting used to the screams that come randomly throughout the day and night, especially considering I have PTSD already.
