Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal

I wish I could give a zero. This institution's practices need to be investigated at all levels. They deal with some of the most vulnerable people in our society with the lowest standard possible. My advice is to never accept their opinions at face value. ALWAYS ALWAYS GET SECOND AND THIRD AND FOURTH OPINION ELSWHERE!! Never let them dictate your treatmeant plan. It is outrageous that they can enforce a plan of care through a court order. NO PERSON in Canada should be forced to be subjected to a treatment plan they do not want. In fact, laws of Canada DO NOT ALLOW for anyone to take your right to consent to medical treatment. YET somehow that right to consent is taken away from mental health patients. THIS IS OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOLE WITH THESE KINDS OF DISABILITIES. NO Canadian should accept that, especially given the fact that THERE ARE NO ACURATE TESTS that can measure mental health. All testing depends on human judgement. So basically, if you have an incompetent, lazy doctor, and a family member who does not like you and would be happy to testify that you are crazy they actually use that as evidence!! These tests dont take into account human error or person's relationships dynamics. They are only concerned with completing reports and moving on to the next person. Meanwhile the law actually allow for these reports to be admissable in court, and could possibly send you to a mental health instituation for whatever long they want. I am appaled that such a system exists in our country. This approach had failed and deprived an 82 year old man of 1.5 year of his life. He was forced by the court to be forced to stay at mental institution even though he is completely normal. But of course this so called institute of mental health had replied heavily on a testimony from his son, who is pure evil to say the least. No only did they subject him to a confined environment but also to be forced to take SEVERAL psychiatric medications. Can you beleive that? An 82 year old frail man is being subjected to take about 15 pills a day!! Is that humane? AND once they send them to these forced confinments, no one cares, they just forget about them. This is unacceptable and outright violation if you consider our constitutional rights! I am here to warn you to make sure you never JUST ACCEPT their opinion conerning your mental health! ALWAYS ALWAYS GET OTHER INDEPENDENT MEDICAL OPINIONS AND NEVER PROVIDE THEM WITH FAMILY MEMBERS TO CONTACT THAT YOU ARE DOUBTUL ABOUT. UNFORTUNATLEY PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR VULNERABLE SITUATIONS, EVEN FAMILY MEMBERS. SO PLEASE PLEASE REFER THEM TO ANYONE THAT YOU TRULY TRUST THEY HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MND. AND PLEASE ALWAYS KNOW YOUR OPTIONS SO DO SOME RESEARCH AND DON'T HAND YOURSELF AND YOUR FUTURE TO THESE INCOMPETENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS. THEY CAN LITTERLY DESTROY YOUR LIFE! AND PLEASE PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FILE A COMPLAINT WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING NOT RIGHT. AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE LAWS THAT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. THERE IS SIMPLY NO PLACE FOR THESE BARBARIC, DISCRMINATORY LAWS IN OUR SOCIETY. NO ONE SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO ENFORCE THEIR OPNIONS CONCERNING YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR BODILY INTEGRITY! OH, AND IN ALL THIS, I DINT EVEN TOUCH ON THE POOR SERVICES BY STAFF AND THE OUTRIGHT DENIAL OF OFFERING SERIVES IN ENGLISH TO THOSE WHO NEED IT. COMPLETLY UNACCEPTABLE!

I was at the hôpital a few days ago and some préposé said to me: « t’es folle » and also « Jesus ne t’aime pas». All I did was spend too much time ont the toilet because my piss wasn’t coming out ....anyway, It’s just so funny how bitter the devil can be ...hehe ....I never saw this lady before in my life but it makes sense that she said those things because she looked completely miserable herself even though I was the “patient” ... I’m glad to love myself enough and have enough inner peace not to go around treating ppl like this....but I do believe it is a very evil world, but if you have understanding you will have the capacity to thrive in it ...But plz lady...stop spreading your deplorable attitude into the world, the world needs less people like you (not more...) and the last place you need to work at is a hospital... Oh and Jesus does love me ...he always did and always will...:)

Amazing staff and very old building. Great service and interesting sights.

Had an appointment there to start an anxiety therapy. They gave me the wrong date and only told me so after I waited over an hour then refused to give me a new appointment. They are crazier than the patients I swear.

My experience going to the emergency department was very poor, I was treated with disdain by the security guard which refuses me services because I had my cell phone.... A tool I used to record my thoughts because I have memory problems. Very disappointed
