Usually you don't decide it is time for a hospitalization, something happens and it is decided for you. I was in twice last year and it was not helpful but is done to prevent you from hurting yourself.
Very expensive to have someone watch you 24/7, no real improvement in condition, just waiting to get released as you realize theres no place like home to recover as long as you have a good doctor following you.
As sick as I was, I felt normal compared to the people I met in the hospital, so I really wanted out. But your depression doesn't get better so it does seem like a waste of time in retrospect.
If we all had a good friend that could stay with us and help us emotionally, that would be just as good.
