It is a little weird. I agree with jo_thorne that it isn't helpful to make clients scared of the hospital. Then they might not get help when they need it most.
Perhaps they are trying to ensure people don't see it as something to do on a whim? I have met the occasional person who seems to think the psych ward would be like a spa retreat or something. It is definitely not that.
But the ER intake people generally weed out people they don't think really need it...so again I come back to it not really being helpful to spread fear. *shrug*
