Admitting yourself into psych Australia?

Lately alot if things have happened that I don't feel I can deal with. I Havnt been to my counsellor since I got better the first time and I'm not on antidepressants (although I'm really considering it) but I was just wanting to know if anyone knows what would happen if I admitted myself into a psych ward in Australia and whether they would be able to keep me there or if I could leave when I wanted as I am over 18.

Thanks in advance for anyone's input but please do not be rude.

  • i think an admission would require a written permission from a doctor. So you will have to check out on their website. If there are no such requirements, you can get admitted there. But i would suggest you to think twice before you make this decision. Many people come to psych wards with different problems far worse than yours and they are not kept separate. So it may not necessarily help your problems. If you have a family then you stay with them, its a better option. stay with people who are good to you. Or you could take all your stuff and move to some country side where you will find some peace and solitude. do whatever that helps you. Try natural medicines and herbs for depression. Go for a 1 hour walk in your local park, that will surely do you some good. Have a pet or listen to soft music throughout the day. Read books and engage yourself

    Going to a psychiatric ward can sometimes be a risky decision. There are many cases where people have had bad experiences and they did worse than before. i have posted a link below of an article that describes the conditions in such wards

  • at the beginning relax. maximum psychological well-being hospitals are no longer as frightening as you think of. in case you admit your self there is generally a 72 hour carry, in case you pick to go away earlier that it is going to likely be as much as the well-being practitioner. sure, you've gotten targeted visitor often two times an afternoon. you've gotten books and that they have got televisions. if your coverage does not conceal it then the state pays. You even get cigarette breaks and walks outdoors. the employees at maximum of those hospitals have been by way of the comparable stuff so that they are type and information. you will additionally earnings from getting to understand coping skills from different sufferers. i replaced into scared when I first went to the psychological hospital for panic assaults, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it replaced right into a relaxed place to sit down down back and discover out what replaced into occurring in my head. sturdy success to you and relax.
