    Well you see this just occured to me. apparently when your depressed you can be admitted to a mental health center. Seeing as this removes you from your friends and family wouldn't that tend to make it worse. yeah sure it takes out all the things you hate but what about those you love, it takes them out too. what are your oppinions on it?

    When some people get depressed they might like to cut themselves, and do other fun stuffs...like, cut other things. In a nice fluffy padded room with no knife, it's a lot harder to cut yourself/your step-mom. stepmomftw.

    It depends.

    it all depends on weather the person is depressed enough that he might hurt himself, or others.

    i didn't say a cutter, i said depressed. and not hurting others. so far ghost kid has had the most decent reply, depression is a natural thing it happens you get over it.

    Being submitted to a mental health facility is for severe depression (aka self mutilation, suicide threats, death threats, etc.) and is only theraputically accomplished via multiple psychological meetings/exams and tests. Someone at this degree is better to be shut off to positive AND negative reenforcement and placed in a nuetral state where they can be treated over time.

    Couldn't have put it better myself.
    They don't usually put people in mental facilities just because you are depressed, there has to be really dangerous things going on.

    you normally dont get sent to a mental hospital if you are JUST depressed, there are normally other circumstances that get you sent there

    facilities are there to help, not make things worse. if its there, obviously it works, but there are always exceptions i guess.

    I think most people could probably live awhile away from their loved ones.

    It's not just for depression that people are isolated in centers or hospitals.

    Not always. It could be your family and friends causing the depression.
