Anderson Oconee Pickens MH Center – Seneca

I would not recommend... you have to have insurance to speak with a psychologist... and if a family member goes up there to get u involtary committed and the police gets there hands on something they will press charges… on you... they did me.. i got mis use of a telephone bc family members showed the police while trying to seek mental health services which is an involtary commitment... mental health really has let me down...

The first time I had a appointment with a therapist. When I really need to talk to somebody, they canceled on me.

This is the worst place I have Ever been too. My child has been scene maybe twice in the 6 months iv been trying to take her. The constantly change appointments without your consent. Iv had to wait hours for an… appointment and they just laugh if off.

Dr tran basically told my daughter if she would have got her GED she would not need mental health I do not suggest him to anyone

I have been very happy with my experience over the last year at OMH, and I am so happy I took the step to get help.

This place has not done anything to help me and my daughter but instead helped her mom abuse her! I’ve called over and over left messages on top of message! Now I’m fearful my daughter might try and harm herself because… her mom put her in a mental facility to dodge a dss case the therapist at this facility set in motion..nobody is taking us seriously this place and the dss in Seneca needs to be sued for negligence in cases!

From my experience over months of working intensively to survive traumatic and complicated grief, everyone with whom I interact with at OMHC has been and continues to be compassionate, patient, and expert professionals.… From the first day when I arrived and collapsed into a lobby chair with tears streaming and reality shifted from normal, I was rescued and cared for by these remarkable people. Working weekly with both a grief counselor and a physician, I discovered that the interplay between my underlying medical conditions and high functioning autism were being dramatically affected by the traumatic grief. This caused a period of reactive psychosis or shift from reality where nothing seemed real and I could once again see and speak with my recently departed mother. Without help, people with autism do not process grief like a neuro-normal and as such are more profoundly affected and can become very ill, like I had. The underlying adrenal insufficiency and narcolepsy, which were caused by prior damage to the pituitary and hypothalamus organs of the brain, are potentially life-threatening if not treated appropriately. Due to the autism and subsequent inability to process traumatic grief, my neurological medical conditions were thrown into disequilibrium. The result was daily adrenal crises and significant reduction in neurotransmitters of the brain. Some of these are responsible for higher brain function, such as the executive functions, namely decision making, reasoning abilities, cognitive processing of information (difficulty taking in and understanding information), and even impulse control. Insomnia. Inability to eat mainly because food didn't just taste a little off but rather it tasted rotten. The world seemed to be very far away and foggy. My head felt like a huge rock on my shoulders instead of my own head. My body felt weighed down and slow as if I were trying to slog my way through tar. But nothing mattered because of the deep depression that had settled in to stay for a long visit. This is when the world became dream-like and I could see momma again. I had been unable to locate grief counseling for many weeks since momma passed regardless of how hard I tried to find it and begged for help. There was nothing. But now, that no longer mattered because momma was back. For a very brief time, returning to the work that I loved and had worked nearly half my life to be able to do, now seemed like someone else's life. My medical leave was ending soon and I should be concerned about it. However, I was so satisfied and relieved to have mommy back home that I was unconcerned that the world had disappeared. We talked for hours everyday. When I went to the pharmacy for refills, as mommy was always reminding me when it was time to take my medicine, the pharmacist had heard I was looking for grief counseling and mentioned this place in a big building over there down that little road at the very end. I put the bag of medicine into my purse and seemed to float to the car and over to that place. I don't recall seeing any name on the building or a sign out front and wasn't sure I was where I was supposed to be. I was just so very tired and weak. I entered and saw comfortable chairs and collapsed into one. My memory is very hazy around some of these weeks but there are important aspects that rise above all of the heavy fog. These are very kind, genuinely kind people, I recall thinking. I'm being given some instructions and because they're obviously trying to help me, I will do as they ask. They're very kind, gentle, and warm people. During these days that stretched into weeks, life was a blur of ongoing crying jags that filled my head with such pain that it felt like it might crack open, conversely, I enjoyed many soothing talks with mommy. She was always waiting for me when I returned home. Gratitude and happiness filled me each time I saw her. Sadly, as I was improving, mommy was disappearing. I grieved again. I am here because I was first carried by and then allowed to lean on the remarkable and compassionate people at OMHC.

Refused to schedule me an appointment

I’m a 56 year old. Very dedicated to my kids raised them all my self. When I brought my younger child for some help about why mom is not in her life, I was patronize/ profiled it was a disgusting visit. They were… actually trying to show some type of authority over me in front of my child trying to show my kid that they have some type of control over me. I couldn’t understand why it happened that way. So I waited for the next appointment they didn’t remember I had an appointment. Read every review on this place they’re trash very disrespectful. DO YOURSELF OR CHILD A FAVOR DONT GO NEAR THIS PLACE. THERE NOT THERE FOR YOUR BENEFIT SADLY TO SAY. THEY DONT CARE🥲Good luck god bless

Worst service I have experienced from a Healthcare provider. The counselors are good. The hours and days for the psychiatrist to see children is unrealistic.

Exact same issue that Madison experienced. Delays and confusion regarding authorization from them to the pharmacy. Staff did not seem to understand that the psychiatrist needed to approve my loved ones blood labs first… and then forward to my requested pharmacy. I recommend to any patients with this requirement to put your requirements in writing. It may not solve the delay however at least you will be able to point the staff to your letter.

Update: It took TWO WEEKS for my loved one to get their medication. DO NOT GO HERE! There are better places in Greenville, trust me! This doctor doesn't seem to know anything, not to mention the desk lady is super rude!… Get the quality care you need from a different psychiatrist! The Hypocratic Oath was not used here! They do not help you, they just cause more problems. Do not give these people your money! I don't even know how this doctor got a PhD (or PsyD) if she doesn't even take notes on a patient. Not to mention, the nurse had to ask him the same things the doctor had asked him before! That should have already been in his file! THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DO BETTER! Original post: It has taken over 24 hours for them to preauthorize a medication to a loved one of mine. People with mental health need their medication! This is awful! They have called several times trying to get their medication preauthorized so that they can pick it up from the pharmacy. I understand that there are plenty of patients coming in, but everyone should be treated with priority. To be a psychiatrist you must take the hypocratic oath, and I do not see any diligence on helping people who have mental illness, which is the opposite of keeping someone safe and well. It is more worth your time to look for a different office. One that seems to actually care about their patients/clients. Even if it is an hour away. People. Need. Their. Medication.
