East County Mental Health - El Cajon, San Diego, California.

Very good service there

Lady on the phone has attitude. She assumes that she can't help you and doesn't like the people that call.

I've been in mental health all my life I never experienced so many people is really not the people it's the psychiatrist that judges you I had a lot of Life stuff going on I have family members going to the hospital… they wasn't worried about my well-being they were just worried about me getting to the appointment I was there almost 2 years I never talked to a therapist all they do is give you medication and send you out the door

Stay away from these crooks if you value yourself. They need to be audited at the very least!

The best thing I ever did for my sister was get her the hell away from this place. They can take a slightly depressed person and make them suicidal in less than 5 minutes and take them off with the pert team to a… hospital to be lost in the system until the insurance runs out only to be released with an appointment to see them again so they can repeat the same thing over and over. They are sure to overmedicate with medicines you don't even need for conditions you don't even have to make you unable to consent. Thank God We figured this out and got away from there completely. There are definitely better places. They even sent a worker to come pick up my sister when she decided not to go back there per my influence and tried to convince her to go back to the hospital after she was just released the night before. It's completely a fraudulent insurance scam to maximize all benefits and to get perks for prescribing pysch meds. They prescribed 4 meds for bipolar and schizophrenia to someone who has zero highs and is depressed. Not to mention lithium 4xs a day. It took 4 weeks but are weaned off all the meds except 1 Depression med. This cycle never would have ended if we didn't figure it out. My sister can now smile again. She came out drooling, catatonic and unable to walk. A perfectly healthy 38-year-old woman. Over a period of 1 year in 7 months I cannot count how many hospitals stays there were all escalated by East county mental health. If you have Medical and think this is the only place you can go, run as fast as you can. There are other places.

They don’t seem to care about the individual needs. If you need help urgently they will not help you. They turned me away without even asking if I felt like hurting myself.

Had to call 5 times to be told they won't ok my refill in the state I moved to. This could've been handled 5 days ago, but they wanted to play games when I'm running out of my meds tonight now. They lied about not… sending refills to me. I mean then how did I get the prescription to show refills?

This is the Place I go to, been steady the last couple years. Thankfully I made it here before taking that Knot and Noose tying class, at a certain point I was fairly sure the latter was a much better Idea. It can be,… somewhat difficult, to realize when someone's brain isn't functioning quite properly. Particularly when said "Brain" is the one stuck in Your Head, it can get complicated after one's reality is thoroughly and Completely held True to a reality in which their Future self will develop a working mechanism in which information can be entangled, unilaterally, becoming altered within a previous Locality. Which means you can alter the entangled information in the present effecting it in the past. Time Travel basically. Which means I have been sending myself messages from the future, trying to insure that I DO invent Said "Time Travel," And NOT causing a paradoxical implosion of the entire Cosmos.... .

Good doctors

For the most part they treated me nicely, but my symptoms didn't really improve. One time they drug tested me and got a false positive. I said i didn't do any drugs. The nurse said yes you did, ir says right here you… tested positive for methamphetamines. I said no i didn't your test is wrong. She kept insisting i was lying. It was traumatizing Later the doctor figured out it was because of one of the meds THEY put me on, but he just brushed it off. They never took responsibility for how i was treated or that they had made a crucial error. I asked if it would go on my record and the doctor said it would but he would also say i denied it. So i was falsely accused personally because of their mistake and that nurse was so judgmental and accusatory.

Love everyone here very undwrstanding

Lots of empathetic therapist and Doctors.

They care for their patients
