I agree with slumberkitty. I think it's a combination of stigma and being really uncomfortable with the idea of a psych hospitalization, and maybe fearing not knowing what to say.
I've been IP 3 times, and never had any visitors. When I was in one time, there were a couple of poeple who had visitors but they were always close family and they never stayed on the ward, they always went out for coffee, but most people didn't get any visitors.
I think it's sad.
