All of my belongings were taken from me, and I had to strip off all my clothes, spending my entire stay wearing a hospital gown. I wasn't given shoes until my second-to-last day there. The building had a prison-like atmosphere, surrounded by a 15-foot fence, cinderblock walls, and keypads on every door. They tried to drug me with depressants, but I refused to take them, and my parents agreed that I shouldn't. There was a counselor, referred to as "the doctor in charge of discharging patients," and a therapist who came once or twice a week. The therapist would have all the male patients sit at a table and talk about things that could distract us from our depressive thoughts. She'd then have us write down how we felt on a piece of paper. This approach was highly ineffective at addressing the root causes of depression or helping those with suicidal thoughts. Whenever I saw the counselor, all he did was try to convert me to Christianity, insisting that going to church would fix me.
