IOP helped me immensely during last summer and one of the times in the fall. Just having a place to go and talk about how to deal with my illness was a lifesaver. It will NOT stop the voices, I feel only meds can do that, but it will help you learn how to deal with the voices better. Stick with it and just see where it goes. It will help if it's a good program. You may get to the root of your suicidality and be able to overcome it. Plus they can monitor your meds more closely.

Hey, it can't make things any worse, right?
