What goes on in a Psych Ward

I hope you never have to see this for yourself. It is not a pretty sight. 

I was married to a beautiful, but crazy young woman for five years in the Sixties. Her craziness kept gettng worse, and she was locked up in a psych ward in the County hospital for Santa Barbara, California. 

Their operating procedure was simple: they gave an incoming patient a shot of an antipsychotic drug that knocked them out. They went to sleep for a day or two - and when they woke up they were a different person! 

When Beth woke up, she was no longer the loving wife. She informed me, quite calmly, tht she wanted a divorce.

I left her, and wenr to a new job in Denver. Two years later, Beth killed herself.
