A pregnant family member was admitted to Belmont due to uncontrollable panic attacks. They put her in a psych unit with men. When they realized that this was not safe (she was frightened), they moved her to a women's unit.

Avoid at all costs. You will likely come out worse than when you go in. You get time with a doctor about 20 minutes a day. But he mostly uses that time to drag along 3 students he's teaching. He's more teaching them than treating you. The nursing staff is short and cold and rude. They act annoyed when you need anything. Worse mistake I made in attempting to make the "right choice" in overcoming my issues. The "treatment" is babysitting and doling out of medication. There is no hands on time with ANYONE that can actually help... read more
