St Anne’s punishes the depressed.
This place ruined my life. I was humiliated, scared, and made fun of me by staff. There was no trauma informed care, and nobody checked in to ask me about how I was doing. I was left with ptsd, depression, anxiety, and alcohol and nicotine addiction because of this place, and was charged thousands of dollars for essentially being traumatized. Avoid this hospital at all costs, Charleston memorial or Butler hospital are way better options for literally anything. Luckily, I was able to quit drinking and other substances because of the amazing people at Butler Hospital. What St Anne's should do is look at how other mental health hospitals and see how they do things, instead of treat people like garbage and change nothing. If you reach out to St Anne's patient advocate, all they will do is give you bad excuses for their short comings, and try and convince you the trauma you went through is the norm. It' is not normal how I was treated there, and now they won't even respond to my emails or calls. I guarantee they won't even respond to this review. Beware to all seeking mental health treatment, St Anne's will make it their mission in life to make sure you leave traumatized and scarred, with no hope for the future. Unfortunately for you St Anne's hospital, you tried to ruin my life and you failed. Your actions almost made me drink myself to death, and I overcame your abuse and prevailed. I dream of a future where all mentally ill people can receive care without being stripped naked, thrown in a prison cell, and neglected for hours or days without receiving any type of help. If a patient has to lie about their condition to be released and avoid future medical imprisonment and trauma, then you as a hospital have failed in every way. My only hope is that every nurse, doctor, security guard, and employee that works here are all fired and black listed from ever working in the medical field ever again.
