I'm reading reviews. Listen to me . You will be shocked that a plant based diet , CHIA SEEDS, FLAX SEED POWDER♡and certain seafoods ( oysters clams, the good quality salmon has omega 3. Look it up) These are excellent for reduction in psychotic episodes. Drink bottled water more than 4x(or Brita water). Stop your smoking and drinking!!! Instead, get the hell out of your room and jog or walk by the beach or park, as far as you can go. Place your feet on clean green grass or sand and walk( grounding). Look into herbal supplements for brain, Minerals CONCENTRATED OILS TOO. Studies show these are necessary for improvement of brain function.. EAT HEALTHY!! EAT HEALTHY!!!! EXCERCISE!!! SUN!! reassure you this will help a lot with psychotic episodes. I'm a believer in GOD, and I will pray for you . Doctors only have expertise in medicine and helping BIG PHARMA make millions!!! They have little to NO knowledge on healthy eating, holistic approach( Barbara O' Neil), and the power of greens, beans, legumes, concentrated oils, powdered supplements, and vitamin supplements. Don't give up. You are beautiful remind yourself you are. I know because my friend has a brain chemical imbalance like you do.❤️❤️‍🩹 MY biggest supporter, guide, and heavenly father ........ My LOVING GOD❤️ ( On the Internet, there is a list of vitamins for brain chemical imbalances, but please, you MUST also eat healthy!!!🥑🥥Magnesium for sleep💤😴 Less stress, better health, less psychotic episodes!!!!

Unfortunately, none of Mt. Sinai's three psychiatric adult outpatient clinics have been offering services since August 2022. Every month I call and am instructed to call at the end of the month as they have no capacity for a waitlist and might learn toward the month's end if there are any available appointment slots for the following month. They have stopped accepting calls or returning emails, and are not operational. It would be great if they could post a message on their site confirming they do not accept new patients and are not offering services, as I was referred here by a provider that was under the impression that they offered services.

So long as this place keeps fascist social workers that mock patients and actively sabotages their care, it deserves one star. If you want to leave misdiagnosed and given medication and treatment that actively makes your condition worse, this is the place to go. If you're feeling suicidal and want someone to make you go from regretful you are feeling that way to regretful you didn't go through with it, this is the place to go. If you want to actually get proper medical treatment, go literally anywhere else.

This was by far the worst psychiatric treatment experience I’ve ever had. In fact, there is no real treatment offered at this clinic. Instead, the patient here is used as a practice dummy for a rotation of inexperienced interns/residents who, in turn, make all their mistakes on you before graduating and immediately moving on to a more lucrative situation. Then you are assigned to another inexperienced student. Rinse and repeat.

Should you be frustrated by this process, don’t expect anyone to treat you as an individual with your own unique treatment needs. You are there to fulfill their needs not the other way around.

If by some sad misfortune you do end up here, you have my sympathies. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, especially not someone who is vulnerable and desperately seeking help for serious mental health challenges. All you will ever be at this clinic is a student project. Your best hope is that you get an “A” student rather than one who squeaks by with a “C.”

My advice: go somewhere else if at all possible!

How Emil Achmad is able to practice despite incorrectly stating a patient is unable to feed herself, and thus needs older antipsychotics (IM) like invega which risks ideation, despite showing capacity to decide as risks did not outweigh benefits given no safety concerns, baffles me. The judge had to remind Dr Achmad he was under oath, and had to repeatedly ask at least 2 if not 3x for discharge date. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! How he still has a license is beyond me? How he's still able to practice is also beyond me. He exemplifies how archaic psychiatry is. Theres plenty of newer medications with less detrimental side effects, but has he kept up with the research? Cookie cutter approach. Lack-luster. F for fail. Who passed this guy on his boards?

Terrible hospital. I called back to ask questions about a diagnoses they didn’t verbally tell me about and they were all confused then hung up on me. A bunch of fools working there for a paycheck

I came to lt Sinai tto help get my ADHD in check, and Dr told me I don't have ADHD I have hypertension,, what a joke!! He had to b, an inexperienced intern. Never took blood pressure which would've ruled out hypertension since my pressure Is, 98/70. I, walked out of there hopeless and extremely depressed, feel there's nowgere tl, turn anymore
