i was here when i was 11, delirious, and suicidal. they did *not* really help…read more they gave me WAY too many meds, one not even called for, after a single day of them not having much effect. im also a bit concerned because i felt, like, *really* good on one of them and im hoping they wont screw up the rest of my life while i was in the waiting room, i could hear people acting out and it was honestly terrifying. also, you can sometimes hear the adults acting out from the child unit. its super spooky up there sometimes... pretty much the only reason i felt better after coming out of there was because the patients there were awesome. the staff, however, were... less than stellar. we did yoga. im not even sure why we did yoga. yoga generally does not help. also, there was *extremely* loud clapping which i REALLY dont like. i heard about a "no phones" rule, but i wouldnt have needed to hear it as i wouldve inferred it by the amount of staff constantly on their phones, but hiding it in their jacket/shirt ect. i was in the waiting room for ~42 hours, as it was implied that they had an open bed, which is why i didnt go to a different one instead. however, they evidently did not. i felt like a specimen to be observed instead of a suffering patient with a broken mind. it felt like a prison, even though id never been to one. its *incredibly* loud in the lunchroom, and me and a friend there would occasionally ask them to quiet down. however, they would get super loud again in about 3 minutes. also, the food there honestly sucks. except for some ribs i got for dinner on my first day in the waiting room, those were honestly the best ribs ive ever had the therapy stuff was really NOT helpful. id say the only plusses were: my roommate was awesome, i found a friend the first day, those ribs, i got to draw whatever i wanted, and the fact that i got to listen to some music of my choice. overall: would NOT recommend. unless your only priorities are good ribs, then please choose somewhere else to go/send your kid to.

Appalachee Mental Health is a horrible place to go. The pamphlet reads that they strive to treat…read moreclients with dignity. Calling you Mr. or Mrs. Is the only dignity I experienced. I was out my mind when I got there the first time and they locked me in a red lit room and the telepathic "Beta" torment began... The second time was just as bad. I slept in a filthy floor in the waiting room for two days without any of my medications. I threw up every meal because of this. So after the first day, I didn't eat until the third day. While I waited for two days in the waiting room I noticed some of the same people there antagonizing the clients in the waiting room. To my best perception these are street bums who are allowed to come earn a bed for a few days by antagonizing legitimate clients who are experiencing delusional behavior. I fell for this song and dance the first trip, that's how I ended up in the red lit hallway where my "Beta" horror began. I was better prepared the second trip and made it out without being provoked into further delusion. I've had a few breaks from reality since my father passed away. The last experience I was treated at the Tallahassee Memorial Behavior unit. It truly was a dignified experience. They are professional and the facility is much cleaner than Appalachee. There were no street bums provoking and harassing the clients. If your loved one needs mental health support Tallahassee Memorial is the way to go.

When I first started going here, I told my counselor my family was "white people crazy." She didn't…read moreunderstand what I meant, and I came to find out she was about the most white-people-crazy person I have ever met. She insisted on holding sessions at her house which I was visibly uncomfortable with but she wouldn't let my husband "the boy" come. She spent the sessions going through huge photo albums of her and her college friends partying, preparing for her jamberry party, discussing the latest developments in her personal family and friendship dramas, showing off her aerobic yoga moves, and playing endless renditions of Heart and Soul and Titanic on her piano. She continually played mind games with me, inviting me to her upcoming Jamberry party but forbidding me to tell the others how we met, then disinviting me and saying sorry she had to be a professional, and relishing how illicit our relationship was despite other professionals including her parents warning her about it. When she had me play a song, she teased me that "you're okay, but you could be better," quoting something I'd told her in a private session about how my parents treated me growing up. I was humiliated. During the months of time I invested into twice weekly "therapy," I got out less than five lines of what could be considered therapy related. I was just so desperate for therapy that I kept trying to make it work. I would take the huge leap of saying something extremely personal and vulnerable about my family life, and her response would be "that guys scratching his nose" or something about her foot. I wanted to quit but since she'd given me so many personal gifts including her side business products, and because she continually reiterated how if she lost my business she'd be stuck with her unattractive and boring husband (who is, at least, more endowed than her ex, by the way), I felt compelled to stay in the relationship. She also disclosed extensive personal information about her other patients to me including names and highly sensitive family life, information I truly did not want to know. It was actually my concern for a 12-year-old patient of hers that prompted me to eventually report. She divulged that her parents (who she calls narcissists--ha!) had had her Baker Acted and that she had quit all her antipsychotic medication in favor of Xanaxes and weed. It was an incredible waste of my limited therapy hours, and as a result 18 months later and I still haven't trusted anyone enough to go to therapy. I even created a Facebook support group for it. Not long after I reported her, my mechanic told me he thought someone must be sabotaging his work, because someone had taken a blunt object and tried to destroy my engine, which essentially ended my car. I can't say for sure who it was; I just don't know anyone else crazy enough to do it. Months later I saw she had unwittingly parked next to my new car at Target, but I didn't retaliate, because when you're a well-adapted grown up and you take your meds that's not something that we do, mkay? The owner expressed concern and said he would investigate, and I truly hope she no longer works here, or anywhere in similar capacity

This is the only place that accepts my son's Medicaid. I may finally just add my son to my…read moreinsurance to find another provider. This place is so unprofessional. High turnover. They take many weeks to return phone calls. Not a place that can provide consistent, capable interventions for individuals that are looking for help.
