That story was messed up. I remember hearing about a past college study where they had normal, neurotypical college psychology students commit themselves to a psychiatric facility and then see if they could talk their way out. Turns out they couldn’t. They were still called delusional and psychotic and even though they said this was just an experiment for a research paper, no one believed them. Lol, it went down as a black eye on the reputation of psych facilities. But this was at least a decade+ ago

Lol dude

The second part of his study involved a hospital administration challenging Rosenhan to send pseudopatients to its facility, whose staff asserted that they would be able to detect the pseudopatients. Rosenhan agreed, and in the following weeks 41 out of 193 new patients were identified as potential pseudopatients, with 19 of these receiving suspicion from at least one psychiatrist and one other staff member. Rosenhan sent no pseudopatients to the hospital.
