The U.S. has approximately 38,000 state beds available for psychiatric patients, with the average length of stay about 10 days. During the past four years, one of my siblings cycled in and out of psychiatric hospitals and occupied one in New York State for over two years straight. They were being treated for anxiety and depression. While hospitalized, their condition worsened to the point of being considered catatonic. Mental Hell-Care: My Sibling’s Story
, published at Mad in America, details their experience.
In the article, I used gender-neutral language to protect their privacy, but at this point, my sibling, who is my brother, is aware that I am sharing his story and has given me approval to continue to do so.

ONEIDA, N.Y. – Oneida City Police have named the suspect who was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman multiple times on North Lake Street on Tuesday, Dec. 29.
Officers were called to Oneida Health just before 3 a.m. Tuesday, when the stabbing victim arrived to the hospital.
The victim told police the stabbing happened on the 300 block of North Lake Street.
She was transferred to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse for further treatment.
If you re traveling during the advisory or experience winter conditions, make sure to drive safely, adjust your speed accordingly, and watch out for slow-moving vehicles like snow plows on the roadways.
A tractor-trailer crashed into the back of a snow plow early Tuesday morning in Cicero after following too close and traveling at a speed not reasonable and prudent. Both drivers were transported to Upstate University Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, but the accident is a reminder to drive with caution and watch out for our hard-working men and women plowing snow throughout the winter months.
