Vista del Mar Hospital

The worst possible environment for someone in a bad mental state. Didn’t let us go outside, kept us locked in a single room with nothing to do but read strange erotica (this is the adolescent unit) or do puzzles with missing pieces. When I first arrived I was left in a room with just a bed and a camera for what seemed like hours with no explanation. They couldn’t process two patients at once, so I was left in that room scared, alone, and confused. Doctor couldn’t care less about us. I saw him once and he asked me no questions. They also wouldn’t let me go home after my 5150 was over despite my parents (both psychiatrists) explaining that I would be better off at home. This place made me more depressed.
