Answer #1

Just relax and calm down. Mental hospitals are like what you see in movies and on tv, they are just like regular hospitals and there are people there to help you.

You have a problem and your parents are doing what they know how to do - to help you. Be appreciative that they care for you enough to send you to something like this to try and help you get better. They obviously love you a lot.

Answer #2

was there a reason why you did that to urself and like in every other entry people post, talk to a doctor and get some help. a mental hospital would help you get better but im sorry I don’t know anything else about them

Answer #3

It means your parents love you enough to help you when you’re in trouble - look after your best interests and care - the professionals are there to help you also…I wish you a bright future !!

Answer #4

It doesn’t mean your mental. it just means your parents feel you need help. They are only concerned about you.

Don’t worry too much. The people will be very nice and caring and treat you like any other person, they won’t treat you like you are a mental patient. You are just a person in need of some guidance in life. We all need help from time to time.

The doctors will work with you to try to get to the bottom of the problem. They will chat to your about your life. The best thing you can do is just speak up, everything you have ever wanted to say- say it to them. Good luck

Answer #5

It doesnt mean your crazy or anythng…it seems you need someone to talk to about some of your problems..it seem like you hold it in until you burst…They’re just gone talk to you and ask questi0ns like: Do you feel like you want to hurt yourself/anyone else? Do you need someone to talk to? Why do you feel like this? Has someone did anything to u? Do you hear voices?…These are just a few questions..My aunt is register so I’ve been to the mental health place quite a few times..Btw once they register u…u’ll always be register…Meaning if you hurt urself or someone else…they will always bring up the fact that your registerd at mental health…anyway hope this helps any questions just ask I’ll try to answer
