I'm not sure what is meant by PHP. It sounds similar to something we call outpatient therapy here in Southern California. If so, it can be beneficial. Usually it is comprised of a series of 8-hour classes Monday through Friday for a month. I found it extremely beneficial. Good luck!

Balls. There was a bipolar old lady
who scorned me every time I talked I swear. And they can't medicate you. They can only reccomend someone check your med situation out. If you're like me and have a pdoc who doesn't care when you go manic partial will do nothing for you.

Hi, I have done php 2 times. It is a great alternative to a hospital stay. You have groups and they moniter your meds etc just like the hospital but you get to go home. I have found it very helpful.

I have gone through partial treatment 2 times. It was for 6 hrs a day 5 days a week. I did it as a transition when I got out of the hospital. I found it very helpful.

I really like my PHP. I'm currently at the Trauma Recovery Institute in Austin. They have both virtual and in person. I've found it really helpful, group members are great, etc. I wouldn't have been able to get as far as I have without it and I've only been there for about 5 weeks so far.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
