When I was very suicidal my GP put me in our small local hospital while I was taking ECT treatments in the city (they never worked). To this day I don't know why he didn't admit me to the pysch ward in the city but maybe he felt I would get better faster in my home town. I'm glad I was able to stay where I could have visitors and family come and go (no enforced visiting hours). I know most of the nurses and they were very kind and supportive. I was there for a month until meds started working. I saw him once a week while I was getting established with my pdoc. He has a reputation for being crusty and arrogant, but I sure saw the softer side of him while I was in crisis..
