Psych Hospitals: What You Need to Know Before You Go

Let me first start off by saying that I'm fine and safe. I did however spend a few days in the local psych treatment center to stabilize my medications. They seem to be working out well thus far, and I will keep everyone posted. ^_^

Now onto the real topic of this post.

After having seen many people in psych units who didn't know what to expect or how to best use their time during their stay, I've decided to do a 3week of hospital stay related posts. From when to check in, what to pack, what to expect, how to best use your stay there, to what you can do to help minimize hospitalizations.

I hope it will serve to help both people who have never been in hospital settings, to those who are, for lack of a better term, veterans. I feel learning as much as you can about your illness, meds, and treatment options is the best tool for recovery.
