I will have to agree with one other person from an earlier post that the US hospitals are VERY restrictive. For as long as you are there the only outside you see is through a window and have nothing to do but crossword puzzles journals and TV during certain hours. Groups yes but they don't do anything and at one hospital we had art therapy. I laughed at it though as it was paper and crayons. Yea I think it can be quite beneficial given your interests and mediums of interest as well. It all can help you figure out more about you if nothing else.
