I agree with this. 16-25, or maybe 18-30 at least.
I was 17 and voluntarily on an Adult Services ward (they had no CAMHS beds available for me), and I had a good experience, but everyone else was at the very least around 35.. it was awkward and uncomfortable tbh. They weren't severely mentally ill, well only a handful were, some of them were nice but still, I was lucky I guess, I understand that some wards are very bad for these problems such is the case of the OP ...
