Honestly we have to give everyone a chance before we condemn them, for me I have never found nurse practioners or D.O's that I could respect ,I live in a town over run with them because there is a university here that trains them, I used to give my opinion on there competence and skills freely to my other care providers until one day I realized it was not fair to the incompetent ones ,or the good doctors and nurses i dealt with ,now I have found myself in an interesting position , in the hospital each time I have been in a nurse will at some point always ask me why do you see so many doctors out of town, and I will say "don't even get me started" and they then lean closer to the bed and say to me "i completely understand , i work with them all day everyday and i take myself and family out of town also" , so it could very well be where i live.

As for the BH floor , I was there once for two months , it wasn't "one flew over the cukoo's nest" , it wasnt a day at the beach ,it was very restful and respectfull,many of the other patients were complaining it was boring , I was not bored I had a lot on my mind and absolutely needed the support , that I got there,the only reason I am alive today was because they were there at my weakest hours .There are horror stories , not everyone can be happy consumer , much the same as some people hate Ford or love Chevy everyone has a unique experience ,only you can really be the voice of your experience after you have been through it on if it helped or not,and please don't be offended by this , but our mothers didn't raise us to be patients , so if your mom is recomending this she could very well be seeing something alarming , we dont always see the big picture when we are day to day surviving, so mom could very well be right, she has gotten you this far in life safely ,I don't think she is going to steer you wrong now .

Homicidal, suicidal is the "gold standard" for hospitalization, but another part of that is a person who can not or is not able to adequately care for themselves, and obviously a person will do better with some help along the way before they get to that state of crisis. A voluntary hospitalization for a "tune up" may help get you through to better times , its all how you use it , and what you put into it.
