I liked being hospitalized. Because I was usually suicidal and it took the pressure off of me (I couldn't do it).

With that said, you must do your homework. It pays to research to see what psych unit is the best in your area. Some are like what is described above. But I had the priviledge of being in a very good unit and it made all the difference. It had the normal daily visit with the Pdoc but also had group therapy, recreational therapy, occupational therapy and it even had a gym.

Just my 2 cents.
