- Britain's High Dependency Psych Ward (Prison Documentary) | Real Stories
Since its foundation 150 years ago, Broadmoor Hospital has fascinated the public and the media, but there are many misconceptions about what it does and the patients it is responsible for.
Now for the first time it has opened its doors to a TV camera crew, giving unprecedented insight into its patients and the work that is carried out to treat and rehabilitate them.
The film is the result of a five-year collaboration between the trust and award-winning director Olivia Lichtenstein and producer Jonathan Levi.
Filmed over nine months, from Christmas 2013 to August 2014, the crew were given unique access and support from Broadmoor staff to help them build a complete picture of the hospital from admission to discharge.

I was brought up in a austere household without love and relentlessly beaten by my father with a leather belt for small childish indiscretions. When I grew and married I resolved to never subject my children to what I had endured. We gave them love, cuddles, protection and a stable home life. Both my children are well balanced and loving to their children,
(my grandchildren). My father is still living, at 98 yrs old and lives no more than 2 miles away, but I haven't seen or even talked to him for over a decade. To this day at 65 Yrs old, I still grieve for my childhood.
I hear ya my father was the same
Well done Sir..You can be proud of yourself. Sincerely I'd shake your hand if you were here.
It goes to show you can have that environment and awful upbringing and be ok but it truly backs up the nature and nurture theory.
And you have every right and reason to grieve your childhood. I’m sorry that you had to endure that. But glad that you had the mindset later on to never be that way to your own children. You broke what a lot of families develop as a pattern. Handed down generation after generation.
Hope you and your family are doing well!! 🙂
My childhood was stolen from me through death and abuse...i also grieve my childhood and often sit in the park i played in and cry and wonder why.. i am 59 and still do this
as a person who works in a similar hospital I can guarantee that director of Broadmoor is not on the hospital floor making toast for patients when the cameras aren't there....
Precisely what I was thinking... I also thought that line about being behind a desk was rich, if she didn't want a desk job she wouldn't have fought her way up the ladder to get it. People don't become director accidentally.
At least Jimmy Saville doesn’t have the run of Broadmoor these days.
I work in a mental health hospital and our director comes into the ward when the attack alarm goes off and helps if needed, she knows all the patients names, comes in for night shifts if nurses don’t turn up and gives us a dig out on ward if we are short staffed
@@Sazstevo you have a god director i can guarantee that director is just doing it because cameras are there .
Yes I agree never see her normally just as documentary. You can tell with Somali patient she knew nothing about him so cleay in her office normally.
Dylan’s story is so moving. He could have been completely destroyed by his terrible upbringing but he is a wonderful example of rehabilitation. I hope he progresses with the wonderful care from his professionals.
Did you not see the Demon posters & Hail satan Ones ??? 11:00 😅 Hopefully he will be ok with it & not go over board with it 💚
@@gemmaclark6663 perhaps having such a dark themed artistic self expression is his way of deferring his otherwise negative feelings! :)
The irony that whilst the hospital director was making a patients food she was stood right next to a sign that said you must wear gloves and aprons to serve food nd she wore neither 🤦🏼♀️
I noticed that too. :-D
Rachel Livingston 😂😂😂
I know, that's so gross!
Rachel Livingston I reckon she doesn’t enjoy it as much as she says she does also she doesn’t rock up as often as she says
She was only there for the camera
So many of these patients have had childhoods filled with horror. Children in care are often abused. A Paedophile can scar a child for life. Abuse can be at the hands of parents as well. Children need help before their minds rebel and they become violent.
Drug abused
And in saying that alot have been in abusive (sexually, voilent) and have come thru fine the chemical makeup of the brain can cause longterm damage . Alot of the time for "normal" people is they choose to step forward in life and don't look back , for others they cant
@Mike Hunt He had his own keys.
Does this excuse them then to harm innocent people Kary ann Fontaine
@Lol Why men are, if you're a man you probably are.
In my humble opinion,mental illness is THE WORSE ILLNESS in this world. My heart goes out to each person that is suffering.
As someone with major depression i agree. I wouldn't wish it on anyone
The only reason that director is on the floor it’s because of the TV cameras. She’s putting on a show. I guarantee you she’s never there. I spent 12 years in healthcare directors don’t come on the floor.
100% !!!
It was clearly posted to wear gloves and gown when making food and she did not. It was also posted to wear gloves when serving food and she skipped that as well. Clearly unfamiliar with flood protocol or just thinks she is above it.
@@wifipanda3677 think she is above it and yep only there cause tv crew is there!!!
Did you notice she didn't wear gloves when preparing and serving the food..? Despite a sign clearly seen , stating the normative!
True that. Higher ups usually never interact. They dont go into the "firing line" usually
"They arrested me because I drove past a police car...." "What's wrong with that?" "On the pavement........!!!" :) Couldn't stop laughing at that one.
Great to think there are people like you who think mental illness is something to laugh about!
😅😅😅
@@angelawilliams4239 It's fuckin hilarious, innit?
Me too

I struggle with severe depression, anxiety, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I pray for these lost souls and all who suffer from mental illness.
@@rpsrenemcintosh9950 Thank you. I wish you all the best.
I will pray for you❤
As a mother I have to say I am disgusted at how badly these men were failed by their own parents. I do not excuse their actions or choices but my god ...my heart breaks
absolutely insane that parents can abuse their kids to the point that they’re permanently ruined for life, then send them off to a place like this, all while facing 0 accountability for the torture of that child
Yeah like a director is going to give a prisoner a breakfast tray comes across as playing for the cameras
A competent, compassionate one will.
That’s done on so many jobsites.
I experienced this on my job.
Funny thing is they are always behaving unnatural.
My frends looking at the show asked me if i had to work with the idiot on the program.
Telling this at work to my other colleagues was hilarious.
Ano laughable isn't it

I was born and brought by loving parents who sacrificed their lives for me and my brother. I was never abused. I was always cherished even when I made mistakes and did illegal things (drugs). But I never got into trouble. I never hurt anyone. I'm nearly 60 now and I've never been arrested for anything even though I was a hardcore drug user for decades. Watching this just makes me realise how incredibly lucky and fortunate I've been in my life. I've had it so easy! These poor guys have had a terrible time and then they end up imprisoned for years. I really feel for them.
Same, your comment deserves respect 💪
Just enjoy the life you have now. No one knows who you’ll be in your next life. Good comment 👍🏻
How did you never just bump into cops whilst smoking a biffa or get randomly stopped in your car???. man your lucky.
Dylan and Adam being the sweetest people on the planet honestly they had such horrible disgusting things happen to them but I'm so happy they're progressing in life 😍😊

@@stevenpryer5880 huh???
An excellent documentary. Literally weep when one of the patients told the story of his mother leaving him aged 9, then the abuse… he did nothing to deserve that life.
Watching this truly makes me remember "There but for the grace of God go I". My mother always told me that very little separates us all but dumb luck. I was born into a loving family, I was born without any genetic predisposition to violence/aggression/mental illness, I experienced no real trauma. I didn't work for that, I was just lucky. I believe some people experience trauma/abuse but their brains are luckily born stronger/resiliant, some simply aren't, so it will effect them differently. I pray we as a society keep practising kindness, even when it's hard.
Liberty Scott Yes I’m very grateful for God’s grace & mercy!
Liberty Scott While I appreciate your comment,luck has absolutely nothing to do with it!
Beautifully said. ♡
@@jasonantigua6825 ha how can luck have nothing to do with it... get a grip it's a huge factor in life
A* rich Don’t get so hung up on the word! It’s just like saying someone winning the lottery was lucky! Get a grip sweetheart.
"I drove past a police car" - "What's wrong with passing a police car?" - "On the pavement." I LOLed at that. Cheeky!
The patience the doctors and nurses have with Anthony is amazing.
Hearing the patients tell their stories is extremely powerful
That place is a luxury compared to the United States...if it were in Texas, it would be extremely horrifying.
No way should Broadmoor be turned into a hotel, it should be left empty or pulled down, there is way too much negative energy stored in it's fabric for it to ever be a healthy environment for anyone.
energy cannot be negative. the asymmetry of energy vs dark energy is evidence of this. i dont think you can rationalize that dark energy (representing about 2/3rds of the total energy of the universe) is negitive, or harmful or bad. if the dark energy proportions were any different its almost certain the universe would be much different and likely uninhabitable as we know life.
i think that would make it an even cooler hotel... a haunted hotel!
i'd be willing to travel there if i could stay in it as a hotel...
but i actually don't see why they need to uproot everybody when it seems like it serves the purpose... and the patients they interviewed seemed to feel comfortable with the facility........ and it's really too big to be a hotel that far outside of london.
at any rate, i hope they don't demolish it. it's a beautiful building, and practically a historical monument.
luxury flats would be cool, with some vintage lobotomy machines in a glass case in reception. My old man was banged up in Hatton, erstwhile nuthouse here in Warwickshire back in the 1970s; now leafy fragrant high-end condos....
It's just a building. 'Negative energy' only comes when silly people obsess over who lived there before. Move on!
@@supergrahamg : They should chuck all the paedophiles and sexual predators in that place - for life.
Am I the only one curious about a women's one?
FeedMe Chipotle only Rampton High Secure Hospital in the UK admits women now
deadprivacy really? I’m surprised by that, as testosterone typically makes an individual externalise their anguish.
Hence why we see vastly more male rapists, murderers, abusers, child abuses etc.
Not trying to make it a gendered thing btw, just what hormones do to you. Oestrogen tends to make people much more self destructive.
I’d be intrigued to genuinely see the difference in a male ward vs female ward
@@KidsWithGuns1992 it's a fact , tf are you so pissed for feminazi
@@KidsWithGuns1992 Women typically get more violent when they're inside the ward. Either way, it's really sad that they can't do anything about it (I've been in one myself)
Archetype00 Here’s a link to a doc that brings it up. The staff say it’s ~90% male, 10% female and the females are usually more disruptive/violent.
ua-cam.com/video/qYgNp9v8JSw/v-deo.html
800 staff, 200 patients. In the states, it's the opposite. We Americans need to look back to our British brothers in some of the things we are doing wrong here....
800 staff for 200 patients is the reason that the NHS is bankrupt and falling apart at an alarming rate. The UK is definitely not a good example of a how to run a health system.
If you do maths that's about 4 salaries at minimum 30.000 pounds a year , would be 120.000 pounds year the staff cost only per resident. If we add other costs like food, medication and others , the number can easily go up to 150.000 pounds a year that is spent for one resident only. Multiply that by 200 and you have 30 000 000 pounds and that's about 40mil dollars a year minimum that is spent for that facility alone for just 200 people. Is it worth it?
@@asifitmatters1 In America, it’s the citizens that go bankrupt. Better not go to the hospital for a sprained pinky for a 45 minute visit, it’ll cost you $4,000.
@@elenagisa1318 so what do you suggest maybe spread them out to other faculties?

Are subtitles being added? Deaf people and people with APD like to watch stuff too!
And people who don't understand mumble
UA-cam has a setting so you can put subtitles on anything you want
I definitely needed subtitles at certain points, and the auto-generated ones definitely didn't help much. It's really difficult to make out what some of them were saying, especially because their faces are blurred, so I can't even read their lips to try to figure out what a certain word is.

@@MurphEfc It is a prison and mental hospital combined.
In canada 15 criminally mentally ill patients (murderers) casually walked away together from a brand new modernized facility in downtown Toronto just last week. The city tore down the secure Victorian asylum because it was supposedly a symbol of not caring for psych patients. It had a farm, gardens, workshops, glorious lawn. The new facility looks like a condo, and patients are to stay on the lawn on their own promise. This isn't fair to the surrounding community, nor the patients. But surprise selling that farm and lovely lawn brought in money. So everyone don't be impressed by the outside modernity, we need to serve the patients and the community safely.
Thank you for saying what my mum and I, both nurses, have been raging about for years. She was a nurse in the 50's/60's and watched in horror as the Ontario Hospitals were sytematically shut and torn down. Do-gooders and gov't felt the patients should be integrated and accepted by society and shipped them off to group homes or out on their own (and many ended up on the streets, being unable to function on their own). The vast majority of these patients needed to be protected from society, with strict routines, consistent staff, consistent meds and, in some cases, enforced meds and safe shelter with little stress from the outside world. Were they perfect instiutions? No, there is no such thing. Yes, there were horror stories about abuse and neglect. Those stories still continue today in any long term care facility, retirement home, group home or treatment facility. In the OH hospital I did some of my training in, I saw maybe a dozen patients who might be able to function in a group home. When I left nursing as a long term care nurse, conditions were fast deteriorating and we were admitting more and more psych patients, who, though seniors, were still a danger to themselves and those around them, yet we were no longer allowed to restrain patients, insist that they take meds and could offer little in the way of staff consistency as so many nurses and PSW's were getting out of LTC. One psych patient on a unit with 20-22 "normal" elderly patients + understaffing, was a nightmare. Did I mention we were to limit writing incident reports because it reflected badly in gov't audits?
Common sense shouldn't be so uncommon.
One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest is such an accutate description of this sort of thing. The horrors done by new modern and "progressive" institutions.
@@aokayt9517 Not really. It's fiction. Girl Interrupted is a more realistic depiction of a psychiatric inpatient setting. While there are a lot of fictional dramatic elements added for the movie version, it is based on the author's hospitalization.
Holy cow Cherie!!
Please be loving and caring for children... Nobody deserves to be rejected and hurt by their own parents.
When I hear child abuse stories I hate that just anybody can have kids smh
The reality is that the vast majority of them are just that, stories!
@@asifitmatters1 precisely. We just don't know
@@asifitmatters1 I mean, childhood abuse is unfortunately way too common. It’s not unlikely that it relates to the position they’re in right now.
@@PrettyMiyaw19159 it’s not unlikely, however it is impossible to tell to what degree it has an effect. Abuse is clearly not THE trigger for such behavior because there are so many that have not experienced it and still have terrible psychiatric problems. Modern psychiatry and psychology are simply a big joke.
@@asifitmatters1 We don’t know how they came about. I’m not ruling anything out, unless we know their individual circumstances - which we’re not told.

I have worked in so many places, factories and warehouses and they always throw lot of crap about Health & Safety but the moment you start working you notice nobody gives a crap about it. The only exception was Amazon. In some places like Muller in the UK they tell you you can push only 2 cages full of milk bottles at a time but when you try to do that everyone on site complains because the rest of them are taking 3 at once and have to go more times because of you. And teamleaders don't say a thing because it gets the job done faster. And if something happens, they will just point finger at you and say you did not follow the Health & Safety and refuse responsibility for any accident.
Love your children! it's so important!
or don't even have them
What stands out in this documentary is the dedication and genuine compassion and care of the staff who built relationships with residents - this was quite obvious but I wonder with cuts if this is still the case?
Broadmoor isn't closing down, new buildings have been built which removes patients from the old Victorian buildings. I've worked in old Victorian institutions in various places in England and in one, the cast iron waste pipes from the toilets had rusted away and sewage was leaking through the walls. The atmosphere of these places is often not conducive to the recovery of the mentally ill and newer, less oppressively appearing buildings can be of great help.
would agree with that I wish they did the same for schools too
I was diagnosed with BPD when I was in my early twenties but I think it was actually PTSD. Borderline personality disorder is really stigmatized. I think it’s usually just PTSD with some narcissistic traits or antisocial personality traits
I am late-diagnosed with BPD, with subcategory 'Avoidance' traits. I don't have PTSD. Speak for yourself, please.
@@cdes1776 I said *i think* and *usually* ... so ya l,l spoke for myself lol.
Trust me BPD is very, very real. My stalker has it and it’s absolutely terrifying. It’s like nothing else exists outside hurting me.
@@emmabyford4087 BPD is very much real but not all of us are stalkers or abusers. I’m really sorry that you’re struggling with that certain person but identifying that they are a stalker with label of bpd only further stigmatises our disorder
I just came out of the most serious of my PTSD , triggered ultimately by the betrayal of the woman who adopted me. It was a horrible betrayal and i wish it on none. Love your children.
Really feel for Adam and Dylan. Their stories made me cry amd really tugged at my heart strings.
Being in there for 13 years then light at end of tunnel being told going to move then told your not moving for months is enough to send anyone over the edge
Was in a homeless shelter w a guy that was delayed about 8 months when they finally got him an apartment. He damn near drank himself to death. Some people can't take institutional life-fact.
i’ve seen a few documentaries made on this facility now, and it’s quite humanizing that they don’t demonize the patients/prisoners. Rehabilitation is possible. We shouldn’t just sweep societies wayward souls under the rug.
If someone wants to get better the hardest thing is to admit there's something wrong with you ....😶
This is why I believe you should only have kids when you are in the right state of mind, so many of these men suffered from very abusive childhoods and I can only think a parent could be so cruel if they too were suffering from their own mental health issues. Our early development moulds a lot of who we are even well into adulthood. Mental health issues are a massive barrier to even those of us who had the luxury of a healthy childhood let alone those who did not
These poor souls I would love to work in a unit where there is so much a compassion
This is a 2 part documentary, this isn't a re-upload.

@Jay Morgan The four boys who testified against our Housemaster all had bedroom/ study cubicles in a long Victorian (c1850)dormitory on either side of me and diagonally opposite.
By SUE HARTLEY
A housemaster at a Midlands boarding school, who sexually abused teenage boy pupils, was jailed for two years at Dudley Crown Court.
Allen Lyndon Farr (44) of Aldersley Road, Wolverhampton, admitted indecently assaulting four boys at the school between September 1983 and October last year.
Mr. Richard Griffiths-Jones prosecuting said Farr's first victim was a 16-year-old prefect.
Farr "flattered" the boy into making visits to his study where the assaults took place, said Mr. Griffiths-Jones.
He said the boy had been revolted but had been frightened of the housemaster's authority. The teenager told police that he had been assaulted between 15 and 20 times.
Two 16-year-old boys had been assaulted in their beds, Mr. Griffiths-Jones said.
One teenager later told police, "I did not want to do it, but he was my house tutor."
The court heard that the fourth boy, a 15-year-old, went to Farr for help and advice after being sexually abused during the school holiday.
But on the pretence of helping him, he was assaulted by Farr in his study, who told him it was "all part of growing up", said Mr. Griffiths-Jones.
Mr. Christopher Hodson, defending, said Farr was highly regarded by parents, the school chaplain, a fellow teacher and two magistrates who had written letters of support to the court on his behalf.
He said Farr had been seriously injured in an accident in 1970, which could have released "a repressed form of homosexuality."
"He has maintained that he thought what he was doing was helping him to get closer to the boys. But he now realises that it was a lack of judgment on his behalf."
Affected
"This is not a homosexual housemaster, but a man whose judgment and control were affected by a serious accident which left him in intensive care for three days back in 1970," added Mr. Hodson.
Judge John Evans, QC, told Farr: "There must be some vindication of the feelings of outrage of parents of boys at this boarding school. They are entitled to think their youngsters are being looked after and not abused."
Before...After...proven...meh..
It would be a good start if children felt safe enough to be able to tell an adult and trust them to do the right thing. Then at least teachers like Alfie wouldn't be free to abuse every year for Sixteen years.
But to put that into perspective. It's not just four boys per year who where affected. What Mr. Alan Lyndon Farr (Alfie) did was, he initiated a severe regime of bullying of the 4th Form by the Upper 5th Form old boys. This bullying was deliberately instigated with the express purpose of traumatizing his target population, making them less likely to speak out.
The Standard Prison experiment was halted after five days. Imagine being compelled to live in that situation for five YEARS with no perceived viable means of escape, first as a prisoner then group pressured into the role of a guard. That's around twenty boys per annum for Sixteen years. I wonder how many of them are still suffering from PTSD and how many went on to have a career of their own.
Do you still feel like... ' But, that could never happen to my children'
What amazing staff, very emotional ending
Leeanne the director was not wearing gloves when she made that French toast and the sign was clearly in front of her lol
Broadmoor has such a history 💔
I feel like i connect to these men and their minds more than people on the outside. Only thing stopping me to be in this situation is my kids.
Why not a homeless shelter. Surely that’s needed much more than a bloody hotel.
Thank you for uploading this!!! It is one of several docs about Broadmore; very well done. I try to find what I can (particularly about Broadmore) since the hospital has been mired in controversy as long as I can recall.
I admire the Brits for their compassion & empathy for the profoundly mentally ill people, despite some having committed atrocious crimes.
As a nurse & a trial attorney, forensic psych has a special place in my heart. Here in the US we did the “examination of conscience” thing in the 1970’s; then Reagan was elected.
As the US tacked further & further to the extreme right, we become less concerned because - hey,🤷 - why not just execute them? (Some states have even eliminated insanity as a defense altogether.)
It’s next to impossible to have a discussion about profoundly mentally ill offenders bc any info geared toward an explanation of why the crime happened is dismissed as an “excuse.”
In the US, it’s perfectly legal to execute the VERY crazy. If they’re too psychotic to fear their upcoming execution, we pump ‘em full of anti-psychotics so to make the condemned sufficiently lucid to appreciate his impending fate. This guarantees the public its red meat.
When the condemned person makes a serious attempt at suicide, he’s air lifted to a trauma center so he can be revived from his hypoxic stupor to be terrified about his pending date with death. It also is not uncommon to execute persons with very low IQ’s. (Something no longer tolerated in civilized countries.)
I feel like I live in a psych ward with alcoholic boyfriend that must have bipolar disorder. When things are good they are great. But when things are bad they are very bad. It’s exhausting but I love him.
Break the cycle (good doesn't outweigh the bad every time)
Dylan’s move has me in tears ❤️ people make progress
My favourite part was when the big guy with the mangled arms was laying on his bed listening to music 🎶
Here to do what no one wants to do.
I’m so proud of Adam omg :(
Why? Do you know him personally?
There was a sign in the kitchen saying aprons and gloves must be worn when handing food yet the director wore none of them making that patient toast…just saying
Bruh they were playing Skyrim in the ward Adam was in lmao
I was told by my mother at five year old to stop abusing my 15 year old brother or she would put me in a children's home. At that point I stop mentioning my brothers sexual abuse. Thank god it stopped when I was eight.
I am so sorry. The problem was your mother
How are you now?
This could be any of of us. It’s all dependent on the upbringing and situation we are placed in. I thank god for having a loving family.
This is one of my favorite patients because he is so honest
While not dismissing the accounts of the patients kindly take any thing they say with a pinch of salt. They lie to gain sympathy and also their minds are not their own at time so some accounts may be made up unconsciously.
Peter Bradshaw You are pretty much out of touch with reality.
christar95 christar95 Not really...... Keep in mind that their stories and memories may not be real. No hate just a word of caution.
And what if only half of them are true? What are the implications of that😟
John Rhodes Well it’s the UK and my personal opinion is the sentences are lenient. They are actually getting treatment unlike my own country.
Leanne McGee Director of Broadmoor Hospital- serving food. Hmmmm do they seriously think the viewers are that gullible!!! For a start the signage in the kitchen said gloves and aprons must be worn at all times during good service….she just wore her trusty lanyard…!!
Nature and nurture can both screw someone over. Some people never stand a chance

I think??¿?
that comment down there is so true this so called nurse and most of them arent nurses seen the cameras and moved in front of them faster than shes ever moved in her life, they dont give 2 rucks about their fellow humans.
Most goes back to childhood. If we are responsible enough or irresponsible enough to bring children in to the world then we have to love them.
The punishment for child abuse is way too low, most of these people have been ill treated since childhood .
Why do kids in fostercares end up like this20:54. Isn’t time to stop yhr criminals foster parents before sending poor kids to such insecure homes. They have already had miserable lives and should be helped to make their lives happier not worse
We need a license to drive & have to take and pass an exam before we're allowed to drive. We should pass a law making it mandatory to study and pass an exam before having a child. There should also be random welfare checks to help keep children safe from abuse.
Agreed 100%. Childbirth and being a parent should be a privilege, not a right. I also think if people can't afford it, and show no hopes of being able to support and afford a child should also be judged.
If it had not been for the Lord on our side - Psalm 124 I don't know where I'd be! I thank God for my PRAYING GRANDMOTHER ❤❤❤❤❤and my praying AUNTEE ❤❤❤❤❤ and my praying SISTERS ❤❤❤❤❤ To God be the glory! Forever and ever AMEN!
I have cluster b personality disorder I know what it's like very sad but there's always hope
We need this is the US. Instead there is a hugely growing population on the streets.
Many were closed down after scandals of gross negligence and abuse were brought to light. Many patients had no where to go. Patients were literally turned out onto the streets.
I am in a homeless shelter in Boston Massachusetts and 80% of the women in here are so mentally ill, thru are not in reality. There is nowhere for them to go. And they are not taken care of at all! And us others have to tolerate their abuse.
Many, many had traumatic childhoods, but very few become insanely violent people. So why is this always used as an excuse for murder and horrific crimes? Why don't you get your life under control like everyone else? This is a serious question. Why do most people make it and these ones go crazy?
Its a complicated question and answer. It is a combination of a variety of things such as genetic predisposition and exposure to alcohol and drugs as a fetus and young child. But also
- When did the trauma begin? The earlier the trauma, often the more damaging it will be.
- How long did the trauma happen for? It could be a few minutes, it could be a decade or more. The longer it goes on for, the worse the impacts.
- Who caused the trauma? Was it a person of absolute trust such as Mum or Dad, was it a person you trusted but who wasn't a parent? Was it someone you only knew a little, or a total stranger, or was it a natural disaster? The closer the person is to you, the worse the trauma. A single episode of sexual assault by creepy guy from down the street is horrific, but if that was a parent, both parents or multiple people over a longer period of time, its going to be far more severe.
- Did you experience more than one kind of trauma? The more kinds of trauma you are exposed to, the worse the impacts.
Next we have to consider things like
- Did the person have other supports? Was there at least one person in their life who truly supported them, kept them safe who they could rely on?
- Did they have access to (good quality) professional help?
The more supports, the better the outcomes.
What are the coping mechanisms you developed? Destructive or non-destructive? Lots of people find destructive coping mechanisms like alcohol and other drugs, but some people get lucky and the coping mechanisms they choose are healthier and help them. Like people who get super into hiking or swimming. I coped by escaping into books, so rather than alcoholism, I just developed a fantastic vocabulary. I consider myself very very lucky that my natural predisposition is to escape into books, it could have been bad otherwise.
The men here, I think they had every box ticked, from genetics, to the type, duration and severity of their abuse and trauma, to the coping mechanisms they gravitated towards and the supports they had access to.
The Google Fi ads suck so much. They’re the worst ads I’ve ever heard.
“That’s something all those people who hurt me in the past will never see. I’ve broken the chain” I’m so incredibly proud of him, whoever he is
Same! I hope his life is all good now :D
Praying that he comes to the peace and love of Christ. What a beautiful story that would make. ❤️

@@Weissguys6 yeah like all the other fairytales…
@@Weissguys6 amen
I guess when a mother tells her son that he is evil from birth, there's no wonder he's turned out like this. Some of these prisoners have had horrific childhoods.
True statement. My mother always tells me that children live up to what you say about and to your children.
*Here's horrifying twist on child predation:* ua-cam.com/video/ALEfE3rNCqI/v-deo.html 💦💔💦
@Jay Morgan yip that goes for all people. Not just mentally ill lol
Gillian Brookwell my mother/teachers always told me that I was a 'good for nothing, waste of time and space and totally not worth the effort '. Now I've grown up to be an adult that's a complete waste of time and space. I spend all my time alone, I don't do relationships, friendships or romantic, other people are much better off without me in their life. I don't even like looking in the mirror as I don't like the guy that looks back at me............
@@shaunlenton8865 nope. Shaun time to stop and change your life... Why have you let your mother win.,all these years.... No... Change it for you. Trust me... You can!!!!
There is one phrase that I learnt a while ago that I don’t think could be truer: “every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child”
I can very much relate to that statement😢...😊
Childhood trauma is one of main reasons for being mentally unwell!
Also addiction 😔
Gillian Kennedy I agree with you 100% Gillian childhood traumas can also give you the empath personality what is exactly what I have and my honest opinion is I’d rather be dead than live like these poor people it’s more humane to put them to sleep and took away from their misery it’s barbaric that in today’s society they still have things like this going on behind closed doors I just don’t see the point of it sorry to say but your right with your comment and I’ve been fighting addiction for the last 41 years due to childhood trauma take care of yourself from Stevie
Mental illness is completely different to being like these people
Jay Williams what you on about, these people
@@mrfugazi6713 They didn't get much or no human development as they were growing up
Nobody is fully develop but these people are far less develop
Jay Williams it’s a terrible shame that they have been abused all through their life and they just get thrown into these horrible places and are just forgotten and left to fester stay safe Jay from Stevie boy
None of us are immune to our own capacity to have a psychotic break. If you own a brain, that brain can fail. Why is it so taboo that an organ in your body can require help? If your kidneys need help, no one pushes it aside, afraid to talk about it. As soon as it’s your brain......nope. I’m lucky that I have not had to require this type of help. Others, with some of the most awfully abusive pasts, do. I have epilepsy, and I take medication. Take your meds, and do right for yourself always!
Pommie bears People treat you so badly when they know you have a mental disorder, Especially family. They can be your worst nightmare.
Because having another organ fail on you doesn't normally result in you becoming unstable and possibly violent. Its not right to treat them differently but you can't really compare a brain to a kidney or a liver
Because a person is actually the brain. The rest of the body is just a vessel for it.
ok, that's true....but a Kidney doesn't cause you to kill your own mother. I'm not saying its right for people to be so afraid or see these people in a certain light but having a liver issue is not the same as hearing voices who are telling you to kill your friends...that's all I'm saying.
@@aliciacb8284747274 yeah exactly : P
It breaks my heart to think that if a lot of these people would have felt loved and protected as a child their lives would have turned out so differently.
You know nothing. Those with mental illness come from every walk of life, every level of society and most of them have ordinary childhoods with loving families.
@@timcastle1844 You also know nothing. It is a scientific fact that it is more common for children who have been abused and experienced trauma to end up with mental illness. Yes of course people who have had perfect lives can still have them, this person never said they couldn’t.
....Sort of agree Cheddar. But getting fed up of people committing crime and then blaming their actions on their parents, their past and their mental health. Whatever happened to freewill and being accountable for your actions
@@maddijasnyy Your qualifications in mental health are?
And you would be completely wrong! The kind of insanity these people suffer from doesn’t come from being not loved!
My stepmum worked at a place like this and she got strangled so many times that she can’t have anyone get close to her or breathing on her neck almost 10 years later. It’s truly terrible for the people who have to live with these mental illnesses, and the childhood traumas that were out of their control and contributed to the state they’re in but also I feel it’s important to appreciate the staff who quite literally put their lives on the line to give these people hope for the future.
It takes a very special, patient, and understanding type of individual to devote their life to a place like Broadmoor.
I applaud your mom for putting her safety on the line to try and help people who usually can’t even help themselves.
@@Briniecat Agree wholeheartedly.
A friend of mine had an aunt who worked at a psych ward and she was killed by a very violent, paranoid patient.
This is such a good point. Very few people go to work to get abused, strangled, hit, punched kicked, stabbed etc. We focus on the distress of the patient yet we accept their violence towards staff, because they dont want to be medicated.
Why TF do they allows women to work in such places?? Do they call that feminism??
It is so sad that their actions or crimes have been due to bad childhood n abuse
which is why all child abusers should be put to death
becky flower Not true at all.
Most mental illness & child abuse is inherited. The abused becomes the abuser.
Yep! Trauma rewires the brain, it is repairable though, but it's a lot of work and many have succumbed to learned helplessness so don't even have the gumption to try. Beyond tragic! Bless 'em all.
Absolutely don’t agree with what you sed The vast majority of people with mental illnesses do not do bad things or abuse so please don’t put everyone with a mental illnesses in the same box I say this as someone who has mental illnesses and has worked in mental health for over 10 years
You know, there’s not much keeping all of us from a place like Broadmoor .
Shaun Cummings totally agree.
we are all only two or three wrong steps away
Sadly that's a true comment
You hit the nail on the head 👌 you never know what's around the corner 😟
It doesn't take much to completely break someone
"My father, thankfully he died." Put a smile on my face because I know it was a real relief to him.
Some of us understand.
Ive spent time in psych wards and they are full of broken souls that dont desreve to be there.
I agree. It's cruel.
Manc Lad I agree with you so have I spent time in these places and jails and there full of people that shouldn’t even be there I’m a very spiritual person and I gets comfort out of knowing that the abusers (more often than not the parents) will have to answer iff not in this lifetime they will have to answer in the next one my friend respect ✊🏽 for the comment you wrote
I worked in one and some people just cannot cope on the outside and feel secure on wards. you can't say no one deserves to be in as each case and person has different needs. You can't leave violent people out there to harm others.
i would rather be dead and clean than stuck in those places where you might be barred from taking care of your own hygiene. nobody cares if you wake up in the middle of the night and want to brush your teeth. a nurse was posted on night duty in a foul mood and called me stupid. she wouldn't let me brush my teeth. when you wake up you need to clean your teeth and mouth thoroughly.
@@mrfugazi6713 I'm happy you found your path
I grew up with a Biopolar father, and his anger was so unpredictable I was so frightened of everything. He was so violent, my mum became an acholic when I was around 14. I ending up in a youth hostel when I was 16. I am 27 now and I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 24. I did go to university and I work in Architecture now, but I can struggle at times but I have good friends, therapist and my work are soo soo understanding and support much as they can. My PTSD is slowly going away thank goodness! I can't help but feel some empathy for these people given my own experience. But I feel they are in the best place for what they have done. Thank god places like this exist as I don't think prison is the best place for mentally unwell people.
I’m so happy for you I wish you good vibes in your journey ✨💕
Well done on your journey so far. Sending all the hugs and positive vibes your way. You’re amazing.
It is good to see that you are doing better. My mother is bipolar and refused to get treatment for it. So growing up, I was very afraid of her, because her mood swings would be so unpredictable and scary. I totally understand how traumatizing that can be and it has motivated me to keep my own mental health in check.
Pickle and a lot of these folks would do well if they wound up in a small well staffed group home in the community.
@A Sojourner You are very graphic. But probably on target. I knew kids who lived in group homes and the mentally ill there would injure and torment them at every turn.
43:35 Here you can see someone is doing PR infront of the Camera. Just by the reaction after the wellbeing you can see in her eyes and her nervous nod, that the director is not in her normal environment.
44:27 Here on the other hand you can see the team giving the wellbeings. Everybody really means it. Especially the guy with the classes. You can hear it in his voice, it is very emotional. They are the people who work the hardest and put all their hearts in their jobs. They deserve all the respect.
And so does Adam. He did his very best in his situation and earned it to be released. All the best for his future.
Yeah they both knew she was as fake as the camera never lies and those people wishing him well really did mean it as they had dealings with him and not her beþ she's only seen him afew times check in and out.
Such a sin that some of these patient were so battered/abused as children when there are parents in the world wishing for children of their own and can't have them.
True
So so true.
I feel this especially strongly as my husband and I have been trying to conceive for 4 years and would be the most loving, caring parents
Narcissistic parent or parents Damage children .
I want to take the abused children and give them off to couples that are struggling to conceive babies. That way everyone is happy with the set up
very true, it’s sad
just remember folks: MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT EQUAL EVIL. OR VIOLENCE. OR CRIME.
Well, I guess it does with these people. Else they would not be there
And sometimes it does. Some the patients here that they didn't show are Ian Brady a man who raped & murdered children & Sutcliffe a serial killer... & those are just the famous ones.
ok clearly the point here was missed. i was pointing out that the stigma around mental illness is hurtful and wrong. i myself have a myriad of mental illnesses, people around me do as well. i’ve been in psych wards. and i’ve never once met a person who was a murderer or violent. many criminals are just evil.
@@pixie9499 how would you know if you had for one? I doubt the person would just go around telling strangers what they did. & they probably keep those people in a high security place. But here in America they don't care about your mental state they just send you to prison. Sick or not. I have a cousin who killed someone while suffering a paranoid delusion. Even though he had a history of mental illness (schizophrenia runs in my moms family) they didn't care & sent him to prison.
twentyøne des well it can cause people to be violent and commit crimes
Why do I get the feeling this director is showing off by being present in this documentary?
Asking for a friend
Because she is. Directors don't normally come down to the floor, she just came down because of the cameras.
It was her photo opportunity.
I was just about to say that 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The patients didn’t even know who she was! 😂
She's annoying.
A hotel?! Who in their right mind would want to sleep in a place where so many people have spent their most dark and lonely, unstable years..
@@prevost8686 the moment you brought your pro life bullshit into this is the moment you lost credibility
@@prevost8686 There are a lot of unwanted children in institutions like this. Abortion is preferable to having a child that one isnt able to take care of, and a fucksight kinder than to condemn a person to a life of suffering like some of these poor sods.
Micky Cripplejohn Bullshit. The line is long to families that would love unwanted children. You have no idea what you are babbling about.
Wayne Swicegood sadly, there’s more children in the care system than families wanting to adopt 💔
A great story line for another season of American Horror Story. The Hotel Cortez was bad enough...
Couldn't help laughing at the guy saying I drove past the police! What,s wrong with that? I was on the pavement!!!! Ha
Yeah he set it up perfectly lol
Watching this I can see my sister in Anthony. She suffers my psychosis, and had the worst episode this past summer. She spent years on the wrong meds (her doing), was on the right meds, but is now convinced she’s better and doesn’t need them anymore. As an outsider, I can’t stressed how frustrating and sad it is to lose my sister to this insufferable and cruel illness. When she was on the right meds, it felt like I had my sister back, but now that she’s off them again, the sister I knew is now gone. Honestly, mental illness is so cruel. It doesn’t care who you are or your background. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
It's really difficult trying to find the right drugs. It's like one big experiment. This is why being in there helps them find the right treatment. For safety. My friend has schizophrenia, and has been a few times sectioned, whilst trying to find the right medicines. It's so upsetting.
Stephanie Melendez especially as a woman as I believe a lot of drugs are trialed on men initially, so there’s much more information on effects on men vs women/ and drugs being geared to suit them.
A male minds and female minds are very differently inherently
You should respect people's decisions not to take psychotropics with devestating side effects and iatrogenic complications. It's risk Vs reward. If she's not a danger to herself or others then I would respect her decision.
@steve lawrence why should they be forced? To mitigate your fear of deviance? It sounds cruel because it is.
@steve lawrence tapering off can be done in various ways and withdrawal is a price to pay to regain homeostasis. Over agonising or antagonising any receptor cite especially neurotransmitter will cause much worse iatrogenic illness than whatever periodic retriggers would ever be.
Don't you think it's incredibly self righteous to impose what you think is right for other people? Only megalomaniacs and sociopaths think they can do so without being infallible. Often times their pursuit of virtue ends up being the opposite by the desire to be virtuous they never help they just cause more harm and trauma.
A child soldier... Poor man. :(
You're really going to believe someone in a mental health facility so easily?
He's not Somalian lol, plus he couldn't even tell dude what a AK47 was, these are nutters, you gotta take what they say with a pinch of salt
Mr. Anonymous I wouldn’t say that, I don’t believe him because everyone knows an ak47 is an assault rifle
Mr. Anonymous And just like that, stigma, judgement, generalization, stereotype... ‘Everybody who suffers from mental illness are dishonest and shouldn’t be trusted.’ Really, dude? You gotta be better than that.
Dave Williams ‘these are nutters’, really? You think that’s an acceptable thing to be saying in this day and age? Shape up.
