There are also very different levels of self harm, some episodes can be very serious and an inpatient stay could prevent potentially dangerous instances of this.
Is psychosis the only valid reason to go to the hospital?

To me im just not a fan when the cost is taken into account....having nurses treat me like something stuck to the underside of their shoe isn't worth the cost per day of a luxury spa. If you don't have to pay I think things look entirely different...although I'm still not a fan I might be if I was in an unstable environment. Personally I would rather have a vacation than a hospitalization...
I think the question isn't so much whether people have a valid reason but how do they afford going so frequently...this is probably just a symptom of the messed up us health system...most inpatients are either suicidal or homicidal so it's confusing to see people at earlier stages and makes you wonder how they get the money to go.
