Does anyone feel like therapists are quick to send you to the hospital but don’t necessarily think how you’ll actually do there besides being kept safe from yourself? I mean yeah they will keep you from harming yourself but do therapists actually care how the staff or other patients are going to treat you? I feel like even the best and most ethical therapists don’t give a crap sometimes.

They dont. There goal is to keep you safe for the time being and dont provide treatment so your well and safe when you go home. They should keep you safe while your there and provide you with therapy for when you go home. Neglecting to do so is a medical malpractice if you ask me. Your mental condition is very important and the doctors should care enough to,medically treat you while your there,and for when you go home. Being in a stable condition as a hospital is much different then a free environment as home where your condition can be affected. Use the skills you learn at the hospital to remain safe when returning to your normal conditions.

This hasn't been my experience at all. All of my therapists when they've recommended that I go inpatient, have been very concerned about me, and recognized that I needed more intensive treatment than they could provide.

I've been inpatient 3 times, and with one small exception, my experiences at the hospital (same one all three times) were all positive. The staff were caring, and there were therapy groups throughout the day. And each discharge was followed by 8 weeks out of outpatient programming.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I do believe good hospitals exist.

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.
