[quote=Anonymous]When my mother became suicidal I took her to the emergency room and then convinced the doctor to recommend an involuntary inpatient psychiatric hold. I believe she was there for a few days on suicide watch and came home with a prescription for anti depressants. No real help getting us set up with an actual long-term psychiatrist and was very hard to get an appt but eventually we did. The antidepressants started to work and my mother decided to move back to her own home out of state. The psychiatrist she went to there recommended electroconvulsive therapy which terrified me as my mother was over 80 but I have to say that even after the first session she was very notably improved.[/quote]
