Why would someone get sent to a psych ward?

Severe Problems: Inpatient hospitalization is used when someone is having difficulties that are severe enough that outpatient treatment is not thought to be a good enough or safe enough option. Usually, there is a concern that the indiviidual presents a risk of safety to hinself/herself or to others.
