I was admitted to a psych ward on Thursday cos I had made a suicidal plan. It was good and was helping, My outpatient Dr. Admitted me. Today I saw one of the DRs. from the unit and he told me that I wasnt sick enough to be on the unit - because i only have depression and am suicidal. He told me that the ward is for those who have been sectioned, are delusional or psychotic.

He also told me that because i am none of these, It is not his responsibility to keep me safe from myself. So now I am back home as suicidal as ever and really confused. I always thought that if you had a suicidal plan and told a health proffessional then they would do there best to help keep you safe.

Guess i just feel lost and confused about the whole thing. The Dr. also tolde me that in the future I would not be admitted to hospital because it doesnt help me. This was my fourth admission.... and I believe the other times did help cos I am still alive right now arent I, so it must have helped

DO you think it is right that you have to be psychotic, delusional or sectioned to recieve help from a hospital???
