I don't think you have to be suicidal to go but I am not sure.
Suicidal thoughts and severe depression is enough for an admit. Also any type of uncontrolled bipolar, anything that has psychotic symptoms, schizophrenia (obviously). if none of that is there insurance will usually push for a lower level of care like partial or IOP.
