"Nightmare Place"

About: Irwell Unit - Fairfield General Hospital

I stayed here in 2015 and reading these reviews I am saddened to read that it sounds exactly the same as when I was there. The "care" was completely absent and I was left to wallow in psychosis day after day. I do believe that they think that because you are suffering a mental breakdown that they can treat you any way they like because you probably won't remember or no one will believe you because you were ill!

I feel that I was uncared for and even mocked on occasion. Every night I was terrified to go to sleep and it wasn't helped by night staff shining a torch at me. I could go on and on but it would take too long. Suffice to say I am still suffering severe PTSD three years later with intense flashbacks to this place on a daily basis.

I never saw the gym, the games room and had no therapy sessions. I was taken to the garden once. I was there for roughly 7 weeks.

(I had to put Nov 2016 below as the dates did not go back to 2015)
