[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 174113, member: 1498"] After my son's suicide attempt he spent three days in the ICU and five days (IIRC) in the psychiatric ward. He was there for the 4th of July. For half the time he was the only person there who wasn't waiting for an Alzheimer's bed in a nursing home. They actually put him in the adult unit because they weren't staffing the adolescent unit during that week. I guess everyone wanted to take vacation at the same time.... The woman in the next room walked into his room in the middle of the night. He met with a different "therapist" every day but did nothing more than go over his whole story with each of them. Group was just him for half the time. The other two days it was him and the girl who seemed to be there only because her parents wanted to go to the shore for the holiday. I don't know what I expected would happen while he was there, but after that experience I never bothered to have him admitted again. In fact, I actively fought to prevent it. Didn't see the point. They clearly had nothing to offer. [/QUOTE]
