Hospitalization for a person suffering from a mental disorder is typically recommended when the patient needs constant attention or is dangerous. This includes situations where the individual poses a risk to themselves or others, is experiencing severe symptoms that cannot be managed safely in an outpatient setting, or requires intensive monitoring and support for their safety and well-being.
The other options—wanting to quit work or school, suffering symptoms, or finishing therapy—may indicate a need for additional support or intervention, but they do not necessarily warrant hospitalization unless there is a concurrent risk to safety or inability to cope effectively.
