Have you ever been to a Psych Hospital? Is it really like a prison? Does Hollywood portray an accurate experience? I’m here to tell you a few surprising facts about Psych Hospitals and what you can expect if you’re going to one for the first time.
In this episode of Cheering Past Challenges, I walk you through what to expect and dispel any myths behind Psych Hospitals and Mental Wards.
