Don'tgo here expecting help. However, if you want to be retraumatized, this is the place for you. I was forced to sit through program while enduring a migraine with visuals. I learned no grounding techniques. I could not talk about my actual issues. I ended up disassociating and very, very angry. This hospital is supposed to be excellent. World renowned for mental health. But they don't give af. They just want participation and it doesn't matter if you're ill. Go somewhere else if you want real treatment. This was the trauma focused group. They did a fantastic job at setting back my progress and not making me feel safe. F McLean.
I was a patient here recently, and my whole experience was odd to say the least. Staff does NOT communicate well amongst each other at ALL. I was in the trauma unit and in my paperwork and in person I told the staff who can visit me and who cannot those who cannot pose a risk of triggering me. There were multiple occasions when the staff permitted visitors, who I explicitly said pose a risk to my health, to see me at the unit, and I was utterly appalled. One time when I was having a break down in the unit, and the staff was nowhere in sight, a few of my fellow patients were trying to help me, then one of the NP’s finally shows up and says “You guys cannot socialize here.” When I was finally due to be discharged from treatment, and given my paperwork, they told me to grab one of the MHS’s and let them know I’m ready to leave. I told Aasira I may be misspelling her name that I received my discharge paperwork and I am ready to leave the unit and she looked at me and said “OK” with a blank stare… to which I responded “OK…. May I please have my belongings and leave? My grandparents have been waiting for 30 minutes now.” They told me my grandparents can pick me up at 12pm. I received my discharge paperwork at 12:30pm. I had to grab another MHS, William, who apparently did not know that I was ready to leave and was surprised that I was still there. I had to speak to 2-3 MHS to finally get my belongings from sharps and be escorted out, they did not tell my grandparents where to pick me up so searching for them was a hassle. To conclude, my grandparents had to wait an hour for me to be discharged because of blatant incompetence. Whoever is in charge needs to review their staff, especially in the Dissociative/Trauma Unit, because there should not be deadpan, rude staff members there who are simply there to collect a check. I’ve seen patient’s symptoms worsen due to staff’s lack of care and communication, it’s utterly discouraging and inappropriate. P.S. they claimed to offer every patient a survey after they get discharged and they failed to provide me one even though I kept asking for one probably because they knew i was going to give a poor review and, even worse, my psychiatrist forgot to provide me with a doctor’s note to give to my boss.
ECT has saved my life. I have dealt with chronic suicidal ideation for years on end, and after starting ECT in August 2019 I am finally at a place where my days are no longer consumed with thoughts on death. It’s been four years in this treatment and I am still seeing benefits with each session. I’m eternally grateful to McLean. Don’t let the negativity and bias of ECT prevent you or a loved one from receiving this treatment that could potentially save your life.
Dr. Robinson will get videos without your permission and parade you around as if you’re a hypochondriac. He’s proud of this and the hospital backs him up. Do not go here just to be re-traumatized. Seek real professional help elsewhere.
Mental health patients’ such as me experiences here include invalidation and an expectation to stay unhealed. Shouldn’t we be allowed, and even encouraged, to be happy and healthy? “Dr.” Matthew Robinson is especially problematic in his inaccurate research. He has tried to diagnosis strangers over the internet while claiming that that’s not what he’s doing. He is opening the door to even more invalidation for people with severe mental illness who are just looking for help.
Absolutely disgusting that a hospital staffed by "medical professionals" would endorse the humiliation of a formally diagnosed DID system to try to spread malicious, ignorant misinformation about how the disorder presents and manifests, all without ever obtaining that system's consent for their face or content to be used in this manner. McLean Hospital should be absolutely ashamed. You're lucky that the victim of Dr. Robinson's careless and ignorant actions is not pursuing legal action.
The video featuring Grand Rounds with Dr Matthew Robinson on February 23, 2023 and posted to the Hospital's YouTube Channel 3 days ago is blatantly unethical. It features social media content of individuals discussing their experience of mental health diagnosis and treatment. Dr Robinson without evidence and without having contacted any of these people then goes on to allege that they are "self-diagnosed". He then further alleges that this trend in "self-diagnosis" is somehow contagious and has led to a rash of new inquiries at his practice. At least one of these individuals is public about their formal diagnosis and subsequent treatment. McLean Hospital should remove this video immediately. Dr Robinson should issue a public apology to each of the individuals featured in the video and give serious consideration before he speaks in public again.
Taking professionally diagnosed people’s with DID social media videos and using them without permission to be ablest and claim they are faking their illness, and basically humiliated them. Horribly unprofessional. All the one star reviews are more than deserved. This is why people with mental illness me included are terrified of drs. Absolutely disgusting.
The worst hospital for psych care ever! The food is absolutely disgusting and I could hardly eat anything there. This place is horrible and not worth being treated there. I don't recommend this place.
