Never even considered it.
The only way I would go is if I was forced. That's not going to happen because my therapist and I keep close tabs on what's going on with me. He will not hesitate to contact my doctor if things are getting out of hand. I also have the example of a neighbor who is schizoaffective. She goes off her meds every couple of months and ends up in the hospital. No thanks.
I have a high paying, very technical, sometimes stressful job. Unless I was stripping naked on top of a car, or actually standing up on the railing of a bridge somewhere, there is no way that I would be able to take a week or ten days off to be in the psych ward.
But that's just me.
