"Q: I am 48 and a single mother of two children. I was diagnosed with severe depression. The doctor who diagnosed my depression suggested hospitalization. What would they do to me if I were to admit myself? Is it like an insane asylum? I want very much to "be alive" again, but I cannot find my way out of the darkness. — Linda, New York
A:
Your question about hospitalization is a good one, Linda. I am glad that you are not taking the recommendation lightly. It is important to realize that an inpatient psychiatric admission will become a permanent part of your medical history and could influence future insurance rates and access to life and health insurance."
