My son with Down Syndrome has been in Resnick for 8 days. He'd been given a 24 hour EEG and an MRI by day 3. He's now being observed on the meds given. EVERYONE has been exceptionally kind. He has nine people helping. Attending, Resident and 4th year in each discipline. It's an amazing place. Highly recommended.

All I can say is that, if it wasn't for UCLA's ER, Neurology Dept, and Resnick Psychiatric Hospital, my mom would not be alive today, after she was initially mis-diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer's by a neurologist and a neurosurgeon, when in fact, it was a Pseudo-Dementia that is/was reversible. UCLA took all the necessary care, appropriate testing, to finally correctly diagnosis my mom, with 'catatonic depression' which can look/act like a type of Dementia. We are so relieved since we almost lost all hope and figured she would eventually end up in a nursing home or convalescent hospital due to her loss in cognitive, executive functions and severe mood/behavior disorders of psychosis, delusions and unstoppable pacing. Prior to UCLA, mom was in a different local hospital where she got worse. We had her temporarily in an assisted living facility so that we could do more research since overnight dementia/alzheimer's/etc just did not make sense from these docs who barely spent any time properly testing/diagnosing her. We were so fortunate to have made the decision to finally take mom out of the assisted living facility where she would have probably ended up dying taking all the wrong meds like Namenda (ALZ medication) and not eating/sleeping and into UCLA after ample research. Now we understand why UCLA is rated one of the TOP Hospitals in the entire USA, as they certainly deserve it. I love the teaching hospital approach & team effort/collaborative medical care, they provided our family. Even rare conditions we wanted checked, they obliged for us. They took very conservative measures and treatment options instead of the throwing pills to see what may stick approach that most other psych centers resort to. I am so happy to share that mom was discharged after about 3 weeks and since has been taken over by the outpatient UCLA geriatric psychiatry. It wasn't smooth sailing right after the release but with the continued outpatient ECTs and increase in one of the depression meds, mom is nearly fully recovering, back to loving & appreciating life, active, social, dancing, exercising, attending school, church choir, cooking, full appetite, great digestion, and proper restful sleeping. She's doing so well that she has been able to cease ECT treatments for now, and even cut out one of her psych meds, only taking one anti-depressant which apparently works great for elderly depression dealing with insomnia. It is important to note that she is also fresh juicing daily, taking lots of specific vitamins, supplements, herbs, exercising, and she has re-sparked her spiritual connection with daily grateful prayers, while keeping very active everyday. We owe it UCLA hospital, docs, nurses, assistant nurses, for bringing our real mom back to life. If you have the opportunity to take your loved one here vs another local/more convenient hospital, I'd re-read this and think it over again. Just my two cents sharing, which gave us our real mom back, so for us, it was a PRICELESS decision! THANK YOU SO MUCH UCLA HOSPITAL!!!

Negligent. Will First Do You Harm. See what Dr. Bruce Kagan did?

I was an inpatient for nine days and attended the outpatient program for about three months at Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA in 2011. I was so depressed. I never thought my depression would lead to suicide but there I was, 20 minutes away from a lethal injection before I was intercepted by police. I thought I would be doing everyone a favor by dying. Even though I am an educated mother and wife, I still believed the people who loved me would get over my death soon enough and I would be out of my despair. Renick UCLA taught me that my desperation was only a lack of knowing how to cope with certain things. The good people there taught me how to recognize certain states of my mind and to deal with it before it became a tragedy. Their approach was gentle and consistent. Psychiatry regulated an antidepressant for me that helped so much. Daily classes and my willingness to participate, even though I did not want to at the time, changed me forever. I still get depressed, but the difference is I recognize the various states of my depression before it gets too bad, and I still use the coping skills I learned to save my own life. I could never go back to the state I was in before this program because now I know how to deal with it, or reach out to someone. While some places only handle the medicinal part of recovery from a depressive episode, Resnick UCLA gave me a gift of knowing how to never let it happen to this degree again.

This is the place to go if you want to be abused

The leading center at UCLA and one of the best in the world for comprehensive research. I enjoyed what I learned from the teacher lecturing on neurology.

I came in feeling bad, I left feeling worse and with a $200 bill in hand. :( Of course I'm aware that doctors have their own lives outside of work, but their level of empathy and effort was unfortunately subzero. Despite living close by to it, I don't consider the UCLA hospital a place I would ever willingly choose to go to again. For the sake of others, however, I truly hope that the services and quality of the medical personnel here improve.
