I've been in the mental hospital before and no electronics were allowed. I believe these people are telling the truth, I'm just wondering how they're able to get on the web when they're in the mental hospital.
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

They took my shit away right when I arrived there (I'm America) and zip tied it. Such a bummer. However, I saw recently a person on reddit wrote their suicide note and posted it the day they attempted. So I think it may vary from state to state here in the US too.Rules of Psych Wards vary per country. Some psych wards allow you to use a computer for a certain amount of time. I think the UK has a lenient rule on electronics since most of the people that are sectioned in the UK are able to type here. I could be wrong but I have never seen anyone from the US post from a psych ward.
No, it's more that they don't want patients getting more stressed out by outside communications when they're supposed to be recovering.They do not allow electronics (especially anything with a camera!) because they do not want anyone filming their crimes against humanity.
In Norway, it's more individually- based. No charger or internet allowed in
compulsory admission (forced?). Isolation and medication are the most used methods in psyciatric hospitals. Max 3 weeks by law, if you behave.
I genuinely wish I had my phone when I was in hospital last time because I'd literally have media that could go on the local news. I've said it all before here but they were fucked. Staff... so... ugh I wish I could hurt them honestly.They do not allow electronics (especially anything with a camera!) because they do not want anyone filming their crimes against humanity.

yea and honestly some of the wards are run down as fuck. Place I stayed in used magnetically "locked" doors but they opened outwards from where the patients where stayed. All it took was a little kick to open the doors and lol there was basically a building site on the other side. We got the entire ward search by going in there and taking a screw... Mental hospitals are SHIT in every way.The mentally ill tend to be clever sometimes
Hmm what country and what level secure? I guess it really depends on that, most people here when hospitalised will be on the lowest security ward tbh.I remember they did a really thorough screening. They made me change into a gown, searched my clothes, used a metal detector, and had me do squats and stuff. So I have no idea how someone could sneak electronics in.
Jeez, sounds like u were being processed for jail.I remember they did a really thorough screening. They made me change into a gown, searched my clothes, used a metal detector, and had me do squats and stuff. So I have no idea how someone could sneak electronics in.
First place I stayed in did a pat down because young people are volatile as fuck but nothing like metal detector or a gown (gowns were given out to high risk patients though, but only very short term). We snuck some goodies once tbh after a supervised trip to the store across the road, me and my friend stuffed as many sweets in our sleeves and trousers as we could, we got a shakedown and most of them fell out but hey at least we got to keep like 2 packets...Jeez, sounds like u were being processed for jail.
Yeah btw in the UK we have something called authorised leave which is very situational if you're sectioned but they're basically not allowed to deny it if you're not on a section. Many people get hospitalised without section because they're basically asked nicely and if you agree to go then you can get no section.It seems the rules vary from territory to territory. I've noticed users who get sectioned in the UK have times when they are released and able to go back home but I don't know if that's the case for everyone. Sure wish I could have used my phone when I was in psych jail! Would have helped pass the time much better than the forced group "therapy."
Seclusion is actually bs I never went in there but I saw the nurses who were supposed to do their obs delay them by like 10 minutes at a time and also not let them out of seclusion at the correct time, saying it's too far to walk down the corridor to let them out. Proper fucked up.Your allowed your phone here unless your in seclusion
What age were you? Adolescent ward was far stricter than adult ward, but the adult ward was more neglectful and abusive.I've been in twice, UK. They certainly didn't allow phones on my ward: Checked through bags, patted you down and everything. But I snuck mine in on my second stay by hiding it in my knickers. Easiest way to bring a phone in is having friends/family bring it while they visit, as staff they don't check you after, so you can get anything in really.
I'm tempted to ctb in a ward just because the 'help' in there is so poor, they need to realise they aren't helping suicidal people, often they make us feel worse. It honesty would be pretty easy to do, in the ward I've been to.
