In reply to What is hospitalization for depression like?, posted by ItsJustMe on January 16, 2001, at 1:17:30
even if you're not suicidal, hospitalization can give you a space to heal. you can ask your therapist for recommendations. try to find a hospital with a good nurse/doctor-patient ratio so you get lots of personal care. i was in the hospital for suicidal ideation and found it to be one of the most healing experiences of my life. there were people there who weren't suicidal but were still in a lot of pain. it gave me a chance to take a break from everything and just be responsible for talking to my new pdoc and having my feelings. good luck. julesvox
