A member asked:
What are mental wards like?at what time do patients have to go to sleep?what kind of schedule do the patients have, are patients with others like them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mental wards: Psychiatric hospitals each have different schedules, therapies with groups, individual psychiatrist visits, nursing activities, eating, exercise, etc. Generally they try to help patients get to sleep at a reasonable time so that healthy sleep and wake patterns can be maintained. Patients are with others like them, but not everyone has exactly the same problems. It's good to have a blend.
