Hi there,
I honestly don't know how many psych units I've been on, but it's been alot!
They are all different. I've never experienced the "movie" types. Never been forced to take meds...never locked in my room. however, I have seen people that were just out of control and disrupting other patients that were put in a special room until they calmed down. but that is rare.
There are rules, of course. But nothing that bad. You will probably see a nurse and doc everyday to monitor your progress. And you might be assigned a therapist which is good.
Honestly, the worst part was the food but you can get used to it.
If you feel you need to go...then go. They aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
Good luck to you.
