And what makes you the expert? You ever stayed in one? Worked in one? Let’s just shrug our shoulders and say whelp, nothing can be done it’s fine? Maybe we should think “even though not much can be done right now, it is still not okay”
It sure as hell makes you someone who can contribute credible, firsthand experience. I’ve been on advisory committees that bring on these same kind of people (not for a psych ward, for social services type things) to check for advice/experience before making a final decision. So if we were both on an advisory committee, both our opinions would help shape decisions.
I’m not a dog either but I understand keeping a dog in a pond is inhumane I never said I was an expert but the cold heart truth is we don’t have enough workers or funding for mental health services yet it’s still being worked on
