Big Spring State Hospital - Big Spring (TX)

5 /5 Chris B: My mother was in this hospital three times, I believe, from the 1950s into the 1970s. She would start acting really crazy. My poor dad and her brother really didnt want her to go but they really had no choice. She was schizophrenic and I would say it was probably diagnosed as severe. She would get shock treatments and in 3 months she would be home. She was quiet and unresponsive at first and eventually back to normal (relatively speaking).Slowly she would return to her crazy ways and the cycle repeated itself. It was a weird childhood for me and my brothers but I think my dad hurt the most. For the most part me and my siblings did ok but it could and should have been better. I know that it could have also been much worse so I thank God every day for his help and guidance.

5 /5 Krissie Blevins: This place saved my life. I was sent here 2 yrs ago because I was incompetent and I had sliced my wrist while I was incarcerated in the Ector county detention center. I learned coping mechanisms here that I still use today. After the treatment I received here Ive learned how to forgive and love myself. I havent cut in 2 yrs Im completely sober and I have a great life now.
