A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urgency determines : Most insurance companies and states have criteria for hospitalization for psychiatric disorders. I would recommend it off you are suicidal or homicidal or are so impaired that you cannot care for yourself. Also, if you are highly distraught and need immediate assistance to prevent loss of job, important relationships, or property. Hallucinations, an episode of mania, diagnostic uncertainty, etc.
