Depends what your definition of abusive ward is. I've been a ward where some of those things have happened to me, to a certain extent it was abusive, but it's more like mild abusive and more notable negligence, or maybe I've just been told that I am the problem, or that they are doing everything they can too many times. Worst one was when I was removed from meds that were helping me due to malice. You should add, your condition is a choice, overcome your condition magically or you need to leave, take your meds or leave.

That type of thing happened to me almost on a daily basis, staff waking me up deliberately.

They said that I had grown fat, that my problems were unimportant, that those who were lying here were much worse off than me. They stabbed me to such an extent that I walked around in bloody underwear. They tied me up, although I had done nothing of the sort. I was lying with prisoners, murderers, cannibals, every second one was schizophrenic, many of them had killed their mothers

"We're doing this to help you/it's for your own good" was probably said to me, like, three times a day at minimum.
