What does it take to be sent to a mental hospital?

What does it take to be sent to a mental hospital?i went to a mental hospital a while ago. my psychologist said they (at the place i go to for psychologist and psychiatrist) send people to mental hospitals for cutting. well, my problems have gotten worse. so, i'm wondering if i'm getting bad enough to get sent there again.

If you think hard enough everyone has something they could be sent to a mental hospital for...if you feel you can't deal with it on your own tell someone you trust and try seeing a psychiatrist. He can reccomend commitment, but it shouldn't be a first resort.

Good luck and get well soon!

You can actually go check yourself in. My niece checked herself in a few weeks ago for that very same reason.

I wish I was sent to an institution. I'm sad and depressed a lot. I have to much fear and anxiety to run my own life.

Depending on where you live and your insurance status, you can check yourself in. If you do that, you have more control than if you are involuntarily committed. I would suggest that if you feel you need the help, you go ahead and get the help you need. Good Luck.
