They like to overdose their patients!

Stop allowing patients with severe schizophrenia to have virtual appointments. This is becoming neglect at this point and allowing those with this severe condition to go years without an in person exam to be able to see what actually state they are in is criminal. We have watched our brother get so much worse in the last two years and we have no idea what to do to help as this place has stopped caring. We are so scared from the obviously Ill behavior that my brother has displayed for years at this point (pandemic meant he was able to get away with not being seen regularly or at all). We have no resources to get him help and this place is supposed to be treating him but he has gotten so so much worse in the few two years it is scary. Something needs to be done and with cases like his (that was really scary thb) he needs to be physically seen and resources (like who to contact) need to given to the families for when things get obviously bad. Please step it up and help him!! They are really just leaving those who come here for help behind during this pandemic.

As someone who use to be a patient there, I am very disappointed by their service. In the hospital you’ll mostly talk to “therapeutic assistances” which have little medical training. These people are not helpful in any way and could ruin treatment. Many times I see the TAs making fun of the patients, including jokes about suicide and depression. Unlike other psychiatric centers you will barely see a psychiatrist, I have gone months without seeing one. The psychologists tend to be unfit for analysis, and have little compantance themselves. Medical nurses are very unprofessional, and consistanly give a misdiagnosis. One misdiagnosis led to the death of a 13 year old girl, whom I knew while inpatient. Sometimes I was abused inpatient when refused food, because the medication I was taking made me too tired to wake up on time. Nothing could be done about this since I only see my psychiatrist once a month. Overall after being inpatient for 6 months, I feel mistreated and worthless. I was inpatient for a suicide attempt, in which I recieved very little treatment. If you have a family member or loved one with depression, please send them to a better hospital. Hutchings does not offer the therapy needed to rehabilitate anyone who suffers from mental illness. Sadly Hutchings is an awful place that does more harm than good.

I left here more suicidal and terrified than when I entered. The staff was rude and made fun if us. The psychiatrist made me pretend I believed in God or else he thought I wasn't mentally stable. Once I started agreeing with his religious statements he said he thought I was doing better. The boys and girls always were doing inappropriate things to each other and the staff didn't care. When one of the patients got upset and was threatening to throw something (mind you both staff and other patients were making fun of her often and she was not aggressive until about a week or two into her stay because of their actions) the staff ran behind the other patients and left them exposed to be attacked. They also changed my medicine after I explicitly said I didn't want to.
