hospital admittance for depression?
I have been dealing with depression for about 5 months now. It has started to get worse and I have been thinking of suicide and death. I have been cutting myself. I am not eating much anymore, maybe once or twice a day. I only sleep for about 4 -6 hours a night. I avoid all my family members and friends and I am on the internet all the time. I am only 13 years old and have just thought that it might be time I get help. Can my parents admit me into a hospital? What will happen? How long will I be there for?

Depends. Your parents can admit you to the hospital. You will stay there until you are stabilized, which is usually under a week or so and you go to small therapy sessions throughout the day. If you see a counselor/therapist, they can give you a time-limit if you go voluntarily. This means you may have 45 minutes to be checked into the hospital and then if you aren't, they will call the police and say something alone the lines of, "They are endanger of hurting themselves or possibly, killing themselves. Escort them to the hospital." If that happens or if you do not go voluntarily, a police car will escort you to the hospital and you will be hand-cuffed and have one day added to your "sentence" in the hospital. That is usually what happens. Depression is the tunnel with no light near the end, and I hope you can find the light because some of us are still trying.

Hi there, It all depends on the severity of the Self-Harm. Slight, 'superficial' cuts and light burns are not that dangerous but deep cutting and severe burns can be very harmful and this is the sort of behaviour that you could become Committed to a Mental Unit for. Speaking as a Self-Harmer myself, I would totally understand if my Friend/Relative/Partner, etc.. was to Self-Harm. For me it's a way to have the control that I never had as a child living with an abusive and strict Father and being molested by a Family Friend. It also expresses my emotional pain. Lin. xXx

The first thing to do is to meet with a professional. He is the one who will tell you if you need to be hospitalized. However, due to your suicidal thoughts they will def. think of hospital admittance. You need to be taken care of. How long depends on how well you respond to the treatment. What will happen? you will be under medication as the Dr. and nurses watch how you react. You will also go through therapy to talk about the things that make you feel so bad. Some places can be very good so you shouldn't be afraid. You should get help asap. Good luck!
