last year i was in a hospital 4 weeks straight... same problem as reed (depression, suicidal tendencies) god i hate those places. my best advice would be to just do what they expect, don't act out of line, and if ur in the US, sign a patient request for release form (available upon request; if ur 16+, ull be out within 15 days of filling it out, if ur 18+, 5 days) and most importantly, when u get out, don't do anything stupid!
