I'm looking for information on reasons for hospitalization. What are reasons for hospitalization? I know if a person is in danger of suicide, they would be hospitalized. Are there other reasons? If a person is very depressed and not taking care of themself--living alone, not feeding themselves, not getting out of bed, not ever leaving the house, not answering the phone, etc., could that person go into a hospital to help with their depression? Or does a person have to be suicidal? How about partial hospitalization? Would a person like I described go to partial hospitalization, or is that inappropriate?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
