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?
Here is the thing. CAPS (our psych ward here) is hiding A LOT.
Google “psych ward routine” in English. You’ll find a thing or two.
Now try to find a singular picture of a CAPS corridor. You can’t. They’re hiding lots of stuff.
Eh, I have worked in 2 psychiatric hospitals in the USA. Neither have interior pictures posted online - it’s not that they’re trying to hide anything, it’s probably just that it never occurred to anyone with authority that making photos available could be helpful/useful. The only time I’ve seen interior photos online is the websites of private/for-profit places that wanted to show off how nice their facility is in order to attract customers.
That said, whether CAPS has something to hide is a question beyond me.
You see, I can find this when I search for “Psych Ward Day/Shedcule” : https://roxburyhospital.com/treatment-services/adult-inpatient-psychiatric-program/saturday-schedule/
https://www.sanantoniobehavioral.com/what-to-expect/day-in-the-life/
I can also find A LOT of information on the Tokyo Matsuzawa Mental Hospital website.
Now, I try to search for “Dia no CAPS/Rotina no CAPS” (“a day/shedcule CAPS”) and won’t find a singular thing that isn’t just a VERY simple overview. Their website also is just a small article on the government website.
That would make me nervous
