Mississippi State Hospital

"food was terrible. There was a raccoon in the shower, I’m not even joking. It’s a nightmare."

"Was there for 2 months. The staff were rude and dismissive. And even downright mean. The food was terrible and most of the time cold. A toilet was falling in, stopped up shower drains, and a tv with only 1 channel with no cable. There were no activities. Only word search puzzles. This place really needs to be shut down"

"What a horrible place! Queeta provokes clients unfortunately! Dr belaga is an arrogant prick. Breinna is a lazy 28 year old spoiled brat! My so called therapist gave hand outs for therapy. Thank god for Gwen! And kaitlyn!"

"This place is a NIGHTMARE (especially for someone like me in a wheelchair). Every day starts at 6am (med call), then waiting on breakfast you have a prayer class. After breakfast is DBT class. The rest of the day is music, coloring & outside time until lunch then arts & crafts again until dinner. Then it's bed time after 8pm med call. The food...what a joke...it's cold & the portions are for an 8 yr old not adults. It's glorified TV dinners. My daughter sent clothes (that i didn't get) & all my meds which they went through & took upon themselves to give me what they thought I needed not what my doctors say i need so I didn't get my heart, my cholesterol or my blood thinning meds.i have 7 blood clots in my lung. Plz find a different place for your loved one. This place has a 7 outta 10 relapse rate. I beg you to plz find a better place if you love your loved one."

"I’ve often commented that I want to turn my journal of my time at this place into a book because of how outrageous and terrifying my experience was. I was here for two months when I was 17. Every bad thing that can be said about a mental health facility can be said here. If you want to experience the closest thing to an insane asylum from the early 1900s try to get a spot at this place. I was strapped down constantly when I would show signs of distress which not only made things worse but gave me post traumatic stress and has hindered me in my attempt to receive mental health care since. The only “good” thing about this place was my therapist who genuinely had a heart of gold and noticed how corrupt this place was. I hope she has found a different place of work since I’ve left there as she was too good for that place."
