The other side of the coin is that you need to understand that your therapist is looking out for you. If they can address something earlier in the process.....you can avoid the more serious complications that happen down the road. Sometimes it is hard to see the trees in the forest.

Committing someone is not something that is taken lightly, and it is done to protect the patient from themselves. In some cases....people are committed and they are dead set against it and think they are fine.....but are you willing to risk the alternative just because the patient believes they are 'feeling fine'? It is a fine line to walk...but I'd rather walk it with the therapist.....instead of going at it alone.
