[QUOTE="Andy, post: 179831, member: 5096"] You can take him to an ER during an episode. doctor there will evaluation and arrange admit to psychiatric hospital. Your psychiatrist is aware that you are considering this need. He will not always be available when you do go to ER. I would take to ER and call psychiatrist. Let psychiatrist know what led to the ER visit and ask for a call back for his input on the events. As for admit without an episode, your psychiatrist may be able to help with that otherwise it would take an evaluation session at the psychiatric hospital. When my difficult child was admitted, our therapist had stated that I either take him to the ER or I call psychiatric hospital ahead of time for an admission appointment. We were only 2 blocks away so I just drove to the psychiatric hospital. I asked for an appointment but when they saw how upset difficult child was (threw up in waiting room), they took us immediately for an evaluation. He was determined to meet criteria of inpatient. I would think that the ER route will also involve a lengthy intake process. Any way you go, there will be a lot of paperwork to complete as info is gathered for an assessment. In my case, I would call the psychiatric hospital and ask for an appointment with the intake person to discuss concerns and learn the process. [/QUOTE]
