I'm 18, so why do my parents have to know if I get admitted into a psych. ho!


Question: I'm 18, so why do my parents have to know if I get admitted into a psych!. hospital!?
I have been having constant suicidal thoughts, so I was contemplating entering myself into a psych hospital!. If I do, since I'm 18, why would my parents have to know!? Is it because I am financially dependant on them!?
I am living with them until I enter college!.

If I try and pay for the hospital bill myself, will it be less expensive, because I don't have insurance!?
And will I still have to tell someone that I'm in there!?

How does it all work!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You don't have to tell anyone, they may require that your parents insurance pay, if you are still covered!. In that case they will know eventually, but not be allowed any access to your medical information!. They always ask for an emergency notification when you are admitted to any type of hospital, mental or medical!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They don't need to know and wont know until the insurance statements start to come in the mail!. Please don't let that stop you from seeking the help that you need!. I'm sure they'd rather find out about your problem this way then discovering you passed out somewhere near death!.

Get the help and then worry about your parents finding out!. I think you are a very mature and sensible person to be seeking help with your depression!. Not many people choose to help themselves this way!.!.!.!.kudos to you for being so strong!Www@Answer-Health@Com
