Is there any way that I can go to an emergency room and have myself psychologica!


Question: Is there any way that I can go to an emergency room and have myself psychologically evaluated there?
I know I am a danger to myself and I know if I go on any longer the way I'm going, I'm going to hurt myself. If you read my previous question, I asked if I could check myself into a mental institution or hospital but this is not the same. I just want to know if I can go to the hospital and have myself evaluated and possibly admitted if the doctor sees fit.
Just to reiterate that I know I am a danger to myself so either way I'm going to do something about this soon.

Answers:

YES, absolutely. You just go to the emergency room and let them know that you want to harm yourself and request a mental health evaluation. They have you evaluated by a mental health counselor and admitted if they see fit.
