In 201x, I started to suffer from severe paranoia. I had believed that my parents had put a poison on my meal, had planned a murder to kill me.
The hatred towards my parents had induced me to severe depression and paranoia to some extend, then I started to suspect them plainly.
Finally I asked my doctor for some help on my will(Anyway, sometimes, I had been fine), so I was sent to a large hospital of a major medical university.
Then, somebody will ask me in this time. What? You had severe paranoia and mental illnesses!
Couldn't your parents send you to any psych ward on their & an any doctor's accord only? W, with your accord and consent..?
No, they couldn't. They could never send me to that without my consent. Unless they satisfied some strict and difficult conditions.
When I read some stories about psych wards and arrests without warrant by the police in Western culture, I used to be astonished so much.
The police arrest a citizen in SK without any approval or consent or warrant in South Korea? It is impossible practically.
It will be a shocking material to the press, and maybe all citizens in SK will rise up when these incidents are known to people.
There was a large & iron gate in my closed psych ward. Only authorised people could open that with their card key.
Some male nurses used to watch us in 24h/7d. But its purpose was our safety only.
They didn't touch or interfere us without our request or consent. They helped us receive parcels from the outside.
Anyway, I took some medical examinations and was prescribed some medications. I had to took lithium carbonate, and it worked well.
It was a huge cell. It had two clean toilets, two large wards, medium sized TV, book shelves, medium sized windows, and a sports good.
I had a shame I could not read The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler well... I was a dead body for a few days, but everyone was so sweet and warm.
Doctors too. They used to apologise to me even their minor mistakes, and I had not considered them as minor mistakes!
I could carry some books into my ward. I used to take some medication, and go to sleep in a routine of this ward.
I used to draw some pictures, or to hear some music. Well, in this point, somebody will ask me again.
Wait, Had you been abused by other? Did they experiment on you?
No they had not and they did not. I can swear that nobody did abuse or harass on purpose or without their thinking.
Surely they used to restrict other's body, but only in emergency. For example, self harm, attempt to kill other patient or medical team, etc.
And they did never use any violent or immoderate method. So far as I know, all medical teams were kind, polite and sincere.
They prohibit us from attempting to harm other or to do CTB of course. I could not have sharp things and any kind of string.
But that was all. Personally, I had no objection to that. Nobody disobeyed. Nobody was not hurt or painful. This place was peaceful and amused for me.
Sometimes, students of medical universities came here. I talked with them for a while, it was interesting and they were interested in me too.
There was a certain reason for that, but I would like to focus on describing my life in the psych ward in South Korea now.
Once, the police of South Korea could arrest their citizens without warrant, but it is an old and shameful history now.
Once, the parents could send their children to a psych ward without their consent or any approval, but it is an old and shameful history now.
Citizens of SK had been sick of them enough. They tried to overcome their traumatic past, and they succeeded.
