Ah, English is not my native language, I do tend to confuse some gramatics and words.
Sorry for that in advance. Gonna edit the post to make it more understandeable.
I didn't mean to criticise your English! Evidently everyone else understood what you meant, and so did I after a moment. It was more of a funny observation ;)
I know, it's just that my English IS confusing sometimes.
Might wanna say which jurisdiction... different countries are very different. In some countries, they could be very bad.
Brazil, by the way.
CAPS (our psych ward) is mysterious as fuck, never seen anyone comment anything on it and there aren't any pictures on their insides. I hate this.
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.
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.
Most people here are conservative elders that say Gravity Falls is a satanic production. (coughs in my parents)
All the descriptions I’ve seen so far sound very much like my sister’s experience in eastern USA. I feel like there’s no info here to say whether it’s the same in Brazil or wildly different.
If it was me looking for the info I’d ask the question again in Portuguese
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.
That would make me nervous
