I was recently involuntarily hospitalized for a week, and during the admission/intake process I was strip searched and forced to shower. I’m not here to complain, I’m just wondering why they have to treat us like prisoners?

    Thanks for all this info. I was placed in a local mental hospital for threatening to unalive myself a few times, including to a police officer so I was seen as an acute threat to myself, which is ridiculous because I recovered by the time I got out, which as I mentioned before was only a week so couldn’t have been that serious!

        I had to strip naked in front of a (thankfully female) nurse and security guard, they documented any injuries, then i had to squat and cough. It was really gross
