Who
decides whether or not I’ll go to the Mental hospital?
SHOULD I GO TO A MENTAL HOSPITAL QUIZ FIRST??
In most cases,
you’ll need to make that decision for yourself. The laws vary by state, but
usually you can only be hospitalized against your will if you present a “clear
and present” danger to yourself or others. In other words, it has to seem like
you’re really going to hurt someone if you aren’t hospitalized. If that is the
case, you might be checked into the hospital by a friend or family member, or a
mental health professional like a therapist or doctor. But more likely, if one
of those people is worried about you, they will try to convince you to check
yourself in voluntarily.
In some
circumstances, you may want to consider creating a Psychiatric Advance
Directive before going to the hospital. This is a written legal document
that expresses your wishes about what types of treatments, services and other
assistance you want or don’t want when you are having difficulty communicating
or making decisions. You can also specify which facility you’d prefer to be
taken to.
Go for a quiz that
will tell you if you need to go to a mental hospital and receive professional
help with your mental health. If you do, do not be ashamed. You aren't crazy,
it is more common than you think. Talk to someone. If you or someone you know
is in immediate danger because of their mental health.
