Answers:
Hi. If you need to go to a mental health facility, then do. And you are doing the right thing to check out where you are going. Of course it will depend on where you live and what you can afford, but you can start by checking with your local Patent's Rights organization. They can certainly tell you where not to go (based on patient complaints, etc.) and suggest places you can go. You can also try contacting your local county mental health ombudsman. Ask, ask again, and keep asking. That's how you will get better. Good luck
