How can i confirm when to go to the hospital for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reasons - if you: Have a suicide plan that you might act on, that is a medical emergency that warrants immediate help (er). If the depression causes you to lose touch with reality or it is so severe that you can't function (don't eat, don't wash, either can't sleep or sleep all the time) these could be reasons for admission. If you are suffering see a psychiatrist or a pyschologist soon - so you can feel better.
