I wouldn't say it's "very bad" in the hospital, but it's definitely a "know when you really need it" situation.

Psych wards won't take you unless they deem you an immediate threat to yourself or others. Beds are too limited to do otherwise.

If you are not in that state of mind, I do think it's possible being in the hospital would do more harm than good. It's not a vacation and there are unpleasant aspects to it.

But if ever do feel like you are a threat to yourself, please talk to your pdoc about it before you decide yes or no. In the right circumstances, the hospital can help and may even save your life.
