Do you think restraints should be used all the time to transport psychiatric patients?

Anonymous
Me and my little 16 year old sister are both bipolar. When I was 21 I had a psychotic episode one night. My mom called the police and I ran away into a wooded area. They used their k-9 units to find me and when they did I (in my psychotic state) thought they were rapists trying to kidnap me so I fought back so they wrestled me to the ground, cuffed me and took me to the hospital in the back of the police car. I was brought out of the psychotic state but was still manic when I was committed to the mental hospital. When the transfer was arranged and ambulance was used and I was restrained to the stretcher like this:

It did suck being restrained but given my prior behavior I can hardly blame them and the EMTs were nice and talkative which helped keep my mind off the fact that I was restrained and they explained that when psychotic and potentially psychotic patients weren't restrained they often jumped out of the back of the ambulance or attacked the driver resulting in car accidents. So yeah it sucked being restrained but in my case I think they were justified. I also had two psychotic episodes in the ward and had to be put in restraints again.

But my little sisters bipolar had caused her to have severe depression to the point that she said she wanted to kill herself when I visited her and my mom. She said that she wanted planning to overdose because she couldn't take life anymore. So I called mom home and persuaded her to got to the hospital. I rode in the back seat to comfort her and mom drove. When we got there the social worker suggested that she go to an inpatient unit. But when the transfer was arranged a police officer arrived in squad car (this was when she was still wearing hospital scrubs) and wrapped a chain around her waist, handcuffed her to the chain, put shackles on her legs and attached another chain from her handcuffs to the shackles. She started crying as the officer escorted her to the vehicle and drove off with her.

I was mortified. She exhibited no violent behavior and was an honors student who had never so much as had a detention or been sent to the principals office and now she was being treated like a common criminal. The humiliating experience left her traumatized and now she's mad at us and unwilling to talk to us about her issues.
