I was an adolescent (17 year old) patient in Harbor Oaks during October of 2008. During my stay there I met with the psychiatrist, Dr. Curtis Longs, a grand total of two times. The first was to throw me into a quick Bipolar diagnosis (which had been the current 'it' disorder, made evident by the fact that nearly everyone there was given the same diagnosis) and to prescribe an anti-psychotic and an anti-depressant as treatment. The second time was to ensure that they could get me out the door without suffering any liabilities.\r
