Audrey;
I've been in the hostipal twice in Minnesota. Its not great, but it has its benefits. In most hospitals now, there is a lot of group therapy, and other activities to do. It depends on which part of the ward you are on.
I know one girl who didn't want to leave because she said we were her true friends and she didn't have any on the outside.
Actually you make a quite a few friends because people share their true feelings, and when that happens, friendships inevitably come from that. However, it does get lonely at night because people want to go to sleep with their own families. That is hard. But I believe it helps most people, and keeps them safe until the right medication is found to relieve the depression.
Take care and good luck.John
