This is going to sound dumb, but please excuse my ignorance. But ... where does everyone find these group therapy things and case managers making goals and mental hospitalization things? My therapist wants to downplay my depression ("Have you tried to kill yourself?" "No." "Then it's probably mild depression.")

I mean, here where I live the only way you're going to end up hospitalized for mental health is when you try to commit suicide and then that's only for the actual injury, you'll have to be out as soon as the injury is treated. When I talk to my doctors about my meds it's:

"Did you try to kill yourself?"
"No but ..."
"Okay, I'll extend your script for another 3 months ..."
"But ..."

Maybe it's a midwest / Kansas thing? (Y'all just weak-minded ...)
