How can inpatient services for depression work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Provide Safety.: Inpatient treatment for depression can provide safety if someone is depressed and suicidal, homicidal or psychotic. In an inpatient setting some medications can be titrated more quickly ; response can be closely monitored. Treatment is usually more intensive then most outpatient programs ; distorted thoughts can be addressed.
