[Eli5] Why do mental hospitals have “quiet rooms”?

501 viewsBiologyOther

My question might be outdated or I may be misinformed by watching too many moovies, but why do mental hospitals have “quiet rooms”? It feels more punishing than calming.

The only quiet room I have been in was one they strapped you down in this barbaric looking chair.

Jokes on them when the chair was the most comfortable position my shoulder was in.

They also have to watch you CONTSTANTLY when in a “quiet room” so it is a burden on staff so they keep you in there the shortest amount of time possible. Youll get a shot or 2 of haldol and some hydroxyzine and maybe ATIVAN.
