My psychiatrist is not quick to put patients in hospital. She avoids it and urges people not to seek help in the emergency department. It is better to get the admission set up through the office/clinic.

I have found most therapists don't care. How could they? They are limited in what they can do.

What I cannot stand is therapists who advise their clients to go to the Emergency Department whenever they feel suicidal. If they believe their client needs to be treated in hospital, why don't they set up the admission with a psychiatrist who has hospital privileges?

Hospitals are great for starting medications and treating psychosis, bipolar 1 disorder and melancholic depression. They seem to do a poor job at treating everything else.
