Hi,
This is aimed at UK residents but anyone else can reply! :)
Just wondered how you would go about committing yourself or "checking" yourself into a psychiatric unit or hospital?
Got this feeling I'm going to do something stuid, its never a certainty with me, my GP refered me to a psych nurse and the psych nurse said she'd refer me to a consultant psychiatrist for possible things to do about BP and of course a proper diagnosis (although have been diagnosed before this). I need help, proper help and if my health servie wont provide it then its in my hands.
Thanks
