THAT RIGHT THERE is another thing.

if you choose to leave even if u are voluntary they can put you on a hold. basically meaning that you go from going in voluntary to INVOLUNTARY. at that point you have no other real choice but to stay there.

theres a lot they can do to you thats NOT good. and yes does far more damage many times rather than if you just did another route IF youre voluntary. they can tell insurance to not pay OR put you on a hold. lots of stuff. and the decision all rides on the hospital psychiatrist.

ive seen tons of people complain about hospitals because of all these issues they put on these people. BUT if these patients took the time to understand how psychiatric hospitals work they most likely would not be going in. then again theres a EXTREME false advertisment played out by mental health professionals acting as if these places are a place to relax or get your mind clear. some people do ok in these places. most dont. they end up finding out the truth and the realities of what actually goes on.
