I was in the 5th ward.
If you think that you will be considered as people, then you are absolutely wrong. Each of the medical staff does not care about you and your needs: my friend complained of anxiety, to which psychiatrist Krasnova Darya Sergeevna replied, "anxiety is not an animal, it will not run away into the forest," instead of giving her some kind of pill (this woman knew that my friend had anxiety-depressive disorder).
You can go to the buffet (elementary for pads or adequate food) only with the permission of a psychiatrist, but psychiatrists work 5/2 (because of this, by the way, you just have to try to endure all the pain that occurred on the weekend, because without the permission of a psychiatrist you will not be given any ointment, no drop from a runny nose or eye pain, no pills for diarrhea). You can wash clothes only twice a week (it is forbidden to do this in the sink) and no one cares that there is such a thing as "menstruation / leaked / not enough underwear, because they were forcibly pushed in here and did not have time to prepare", you can only wash completely on Monday + hair on Thursday. The food here is so disgusting and unsalted that some people prefer to starve themselves./There is only bread and tea all day. Salt should not be carried, because it can be considered as drugs. During the New Year's celebration, we were specially forced to sleep as early as possible, while the medical staff themselves went to drink in their room
The medical staff doesn't care about the rules set even for them. They calmly leave their posts, sleep at night (in round-the-clock shifts), do not keep watch at the observation chamber 24/7, and forbid washing clothes if less than 3 people are gathered. By the way, only Belarusian citizens can be put in the 5th ward, but I'm a Russian citizen, but they put me there.
You can forget about getting cured. Like I said, no one cares. You will see a psychologist only once during the entire time you are here (and that is purely to check out according to the regulations). You will be able to see the therapist more often at group (useless) therapies once a week, and God forbid you will see him personally once every three weeks. First, they prescribe pills at the glycine level (and if you want to get out as soon as possible, it's better to say that everything is fine with you and they help), and then the first thing that comes to mind.
You should not download your rights. I once started saying that I have the right to wear glasses when I leave the observation room. That's how the fight started, I was tied to the bed for the whole night, and my friend was stripped naked right in the hallway (for screaming and crying out of fear for me).
It's very boring here. Especially in the observation chamber (9). You can't do anything at all: no books, no coloring books, no homemade cards or checkers that my friend and I made. You can only lie in your bed and talk to other people in the ward.
The people in this mess don't even know this mess themselves. I accidentally hit my friend with an orange in the nose, for which I was allegedly transferred to the violent ward (ward 22) and for some reason everyone thought it was for violent people, although this is the primary and better than ward 5 (the only downside is that there is a girl with schizophrenia constantly talking and shouting nonsense)
Conclusion: don't come here and don't go on purpose (unless you can at 20. It's open and phones are allowed), no one will help you here, and you could sue the medical staff (there were many other situations that I didn't write about)
P.S. when I got here, my bra was taken away from me, which was never given back when I left
The best place on the planet! personal maids who bring you beautiful sweets, after which you are the calmest person on the planet, as well as toilets without partitions because we have nothing to hide from each other! There was also a grandfather who was digging in a bucket of used toilet paper, a legend in general, and I will never forget the kid who broke out the window and tried to escape but hung on the barbed wire 10/10 I would have gone again if they hadn't taken away the phones.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff of the 9th DEPARTMENT.
Especially to Olga Vladimirovna Nesterenko, the head of the department, and Veronika Nikolaevna, the nurse, and Larisa Ivanovna, the senior nurse, for their professionalism, patient care, and human attitude.
