I have been hospitalized six times and have never had a bad experience. The doctors and social workers are kind and knowledgeable, the nurses and counselors are skilled, the insurance companies try to push you out while you are still suicidal and the doctors push back. Nobody is trying to keep you there for money. Psych beds are money losers in hospitals and insurance companies put the docs under constant pressure.
