    i was once sent to a mental hospital due to my abnormal sex drive with under 18's. I was placed in a room with posters of middle aged overweight men all over each wall, a drink of water and chocolate buttons. I was then put under the spotlight to masturbate over these men on camera to the whole institute. This lasted 2 days then i was allowed out of this room. I then stayed a further 3 days to get use to my new way of life. Im now a priest in a catholic church and i train a youg boys football team.

    Detox you from medication or put you on...evaluate you...watch you and make sure your not suicidal or wanting to harm others...you will see a psych. of maybe several to try and diagnose your mentall illness....sometimes you can go home after 72 hours, if they think you are stable but you may be required to stay until they feel you are ready.

    Lots of evaluation of a patient's mental status. They will observe them constantly. They may even put them on medication. Patients have some intense 1 on 1 sessions with psychologists/psychiatrists to determine the severity and scope of their illness.
