I’m kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?
You should add that to your post.
Oh you probably shouldn’t take most of these comments seriously, most Fediverse users are from North America or Europe, I don’t know about Brazil’s Human Rights, so you might wanna ask local groupchat/forum or something.
Just an example:
I’m in the US, there are supposedly a lot of legal protections when it comes to patient’s rights.
But, back in China where I was born in… the culture is very conservative and if I was ever involuntarily held there, I could be possibly be held indefinitely. They don’t treat people mental illness very kindly. The legal system just reflects on the society’s conservative attitude. I heard horror stories of my village just locking up a kid in their house because they view that kid as a danger.
I’m not saying that such hospitals can’t help you, but you might wanna be careful. How Progressive/Conservative are the people? If they are very conservative, I’d try to avoid it as much as possible, seek legal help maybe.
Most people here are conservative elders that say Gravity Falls is a satanic production. (coughs in my parents)
Brazil’s psych wards hide a lot. No brazillians I ever talked to ever went to a CAPS (brazillian psych ward) and they hide even their interiors. Try to find a picture of a singular CAPS corridor. You can’t.
I’m gonna lie everything to my psychiatrist.
