Concerns about Mental Health and Hospitalization

In many countries, including the US, involuntarily hospitalization is only applicable to those who are an active immediate danger to themselves or others. Meaning that unless your therapist thinks you're going to leave their office and harm yourself or another person you wont be hospitalized. They may suggest voluntary hospitalization, which may or may not be a good option for you depending on your specific situation, but that isn't the same thing and you can say no to voluntary hospitalization and even ask that it not be recommended again. Make sure you look up your rights and what is typical when speaking to any medical professional to help yourself keep an eye out for mistreatment or mistakes that may be signs to switch providers.

Not sure where you are, but in the US at least, they can only suggest to you (i.e. must be voluntary) unless you or someone else are in immediate danger. For example, if you are suicidal and talk about wanting to die, or even if you have a way you’d do it but there is no probable cause you WILL do it anytime soon, then it must be voluntary. If you have a plan, a time, and the opportunity/access to carry it out, THEN they are allowed to call for involuntary. Same way if it’s IRT harming another person.

Idk i have discussed both self harm and suicidal ideation and havent been hospitalised
