In 2016, I sought help, grievance, and legal help, yet I was told to "settle" unsettling civil and criminal issues with the administrators where I live. I wanted to commit suicide several times. . . . THE CLINICAL STAFF ILLEGALLY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE PEOPLE WITH OR WITHOUT REASON. Obviously, some patients get "cured" while I alone lay rotting and embittered. Wish you experienced and felt the way I did back then: NO HELP! Hire a lawyer first.

UPDATE: Many years has passed since I sought help to improve both my mental and physical health. For me, my mental illness is deeply rooted in growing up with a disabled sibling whose envy, jealousy, resentment, and hatred was displaced onto me, sabotaging my livelihood, and my ultimate demise. Combine that with growing up in a dysfunctional family, societal ignorance and stigma with mental illness and blindness; scapegoating and alienation is society's elixir.

Only a paucity of medical professionals and clinicians understand both my mental and physical health; however, that price only comes due with significant age, listening, learning, discourse, experience, maturity, responsibility, ethics, morals, analysis, professionalism, leadership, work, and integrity.

Self-effacing, indulgent, corruptive, and destructive habits only worsen ones mental health. Expecting and wanting too many things is a very bad idea. As an adult, one parents oneself for there are no real heros.

My brother has been seeing the same therapist for a long time. They are very caring.
