I know a little about hospitalization for depression as I have worked in one. You would have a room just like any patient would. If it were a psychiatric hospital, you could expect group therapy and individual therapy with counselors. And probably medications added to what you are taking. Or perhaps a med change. Have you asked your doctor about what would go on. Seems to me that would be the place to start.
You could be in for 30 to 45 days. I worked as a therapist for three years in a psychiatric hospital and saw alot of positive change in the patients. If they were willing to do the work. That is the key to getting well. The work. I pray for you and hope you make the decision to seek the hospitalization soon.
