What Is Inpatient Treatment for Mental Illnesses Like?

Question by Elle: What is inpatient treatment for mental illnesses like?
After little progress under the care of my psychiatrist and psychologist I am interested in going to an inpatient treatment center. I don’t know if they would treat me for my depression, anxiety, codependency, or all three. I need more help than I am getting but am wondering what its like to go to an inpatient treatment facility? And, is it worth it? What are the pros and cons? Looking for some insight from anyone who knows anything about it because I really don’t know much and want help in getting better.

They are usually fairly helpful. I worked with a few nurses and doctors that can be real pricks but other than them, I had a fairly helpful experience. It all depends on who you work with.

I say if you have insurance that will cover enough of it (it’s rather expensive) then go for it. It really helped me.

They’d probably work on all three.
