idk but it sounds like a very long time to stay. usually i would think they'd do an intake at the hospital and then decide how long you should stay. i havent been hospitalized but both my children have, for suicide attempt or risk and it was 2 weeks tops. i have considered it for myself before and sometimes feel like i could use a about a week for some help and healing time. find a new doctor if you don't trust this one. the point of you working together is supposed to be to help you feel better.
