I have been going to New Milford Hospital Behavioral Health since I was about 23. I recently turned…read more60. I can honestly say that I would never made it this far it it hadn't been for the help I received there. The people who have listened to my never ending tales of fear, shame, and confusion; still managed to do so with patience and empathy. I am "one of those" bipolar types; prone to devastation and depression; ADHD, OCD, and B.S. I didn't always agree with the medications or the advice I was given, However I did what they suggested and found that they were helping me. I wanted to get better. I'm sure that I'm not explaining this well, but these people saved my life. I have recommend them to many friends and relatives to sort out difficult issues. When you hear there are people out there that can help you; these people are them! DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP! Or have a friend call! Just do it!

Dr strait who is the director and as far as I'm concerned incompetent psychiatrist. I feel he is…read moreabsolutely incompetent. He yelled at me he refused to put me on any medication that would help me only supports the pharmaceutical company's that they are in cohorts with. I first saw him and he ask me if there were any tragedys that I had experienced and I said yes sandy hook elementary and broke out in complete tears. Next time I saw him I told him I had every symptom of ptsd and I couldn't function as an Able bodied person and I had lost everything in my life I need to apply for disablity benefits he told me that he would have to witness my symptoms and as far as I was concerned he had he said it would be years before i could do that and that I didn't want to go around telling anybody that I had ptsd especially the government because the last thing I want to do is let the government know I had ptsd you never know what they were going to do with that info about me.!!!! Wow!!! That's Strange statement to tell someone whose broken! Well I found another doctor in fact I saw two and they both diagnosed me with several things but the main diagnosis was ptsd. With them I applied and was awarded social security benefits and I am on my way to getting a life again with no thanks to this place. I ran out of gas on my to my appointment two minutes from their office and I was losing it due to extreme fear from ptsd and he said I could no longer go there and sent me a letter certified saying I was no longer welcome to go there. Wow! I warn anyone to not go there. They don't want to help anyone get well or recover just give the wrong inappropriate medications and keep you disabled from functioning in society. Stay away from there if you want to get well!
