I've always had a fear of mental hospitals. After learning about actual ones in real life, it makes me even more freaked out about them. Not so much the whole wearing-a-straight-jacket-in-a-rubber-room style fear, but more the fear of being stuck in a place away from everyone I love, surrounded by people of questionable sanity, being monitored 24/7 by doctors way. I've been told by friends who've experienced being in one that alot of the doctors don't really care about you, but rather them getting paid at the end of the day. I know this probably isn't the case for most doctors in that field, but from multiple stories from friends, the ones they encountered weren't exactly the nicest of people.
It'd be absolute, excruciating torture for me in that sort of environment. I wouldn't be able to cope with the level of change and having to live in the depravity and indignity of being treated like an animal. I'd never know who to trust in a place that insincerely says it's supposed to help you, yet has disturbing undercurrents of some facade - and you can't quite tell what it is. No thanks, I'll pass on that one lads.
