Just read an article about a young lady in SA who was admitted to a hospital Mental Ward, he mother called it a dirty drunk tank. Her mother stated that when she finally saw her daughter she was "shackled" hands and feet. This young lady had had a mental illness since childhood. Mother was told no beds in the psych ward and when she finally got into a bed she remained in hospital for six months. This is the worst story I have encountered about the attitude towards sufferers of MI. I have the file and site address if any one would like to read the full transcript. It is from an independent newspaper I subscribe to.
