In reply to how did you know when it was time for hospital?, posted by g_g_g_unit on February 20, 2012, at 5:40:10
I've been hospitalized here in the US a few times. They only admit you if you are on the verge of suicide or are clearly a danger to yourself or others. Whenever I've been hospitalized, my own p-doc did not treat me, though he was in close touch with the hospital docs. Once he even came in for a meeting, but unless your doc is also on the hospital staff, you will be treated by the hospital docs. That's how it works in the US anyway.
Being in a psych ward is no day at the beach. I wouldn't advise it unless you feel you are not going to survive except on a locked ward.
