Question about seeing a therapist

Postby Antigreen » Mon Jul 05, 2004 4:01 pm

Well, if the therapist finds out your suicidal, you end up having to go to some hospital...

Could someone please explain this hospital to me?

Antigreen,

It's been a couple days since you asked. I'm not really sure what you're asking about: under what conditions might you be put in a hospital, what is a mental hospital like (I don't know what they're called exactly where you are), or something else?

I have to say, now I'm curious as to what mental hospitals are about, always been given a bad name, assuming that is what antigreen means.

Antigreen, I think mental institutes are only for the psychologically unstable, such as those who are psychotic, most people who are suicidal get treatment for depression through therapy and drugs (although I have doubts over drug's effectiveness).

I'm curious as to your intentions, do you want to be imprisoned for some reason? I have to say, I've had similiar thoughts, 'what if I killed so and so, would prison mean my future would be definately crap instead of all this uncertainty that is driving me insane, would it be something I'd get a strange sadistic pleasure out of, persevering in a place where I want to die, maybe I'd enjoy punishing myself in that way?', unless of course your thoughts are nothing like mine, which they're most possibly not.

Take care, Antigreen :) .

Well, if your therapist see's that you have intentions of harming others, or yourself, they have to report it...

I'm just asking, if the therapist thought I was suicidal(I have suicidal thoughts sometimes), that I might be sent to this place...

And no, I do not wish to be sent there...

I'm just asking for a description of this place of which I'd be sent to.

And just so you know, this is what happens in the U.S...
I noticed that alot of people here are from Europe.
