I think it is when they were trained. I'm in co and there are lots of doctors like that (one would ask "were you able to go to work?") but there are new ones that are much better with patients. My therapist has even started compiling a list for her clients. Unfortunately they don't take insurance so if you can't pay up front it is a problem. I cannot afford those drs right now but I called one and he referred me to a pa that shares the same philosophy.
Are you really looking for hospitalization or are you looking for something more structured or intensive?

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 ...)
