Answer by paul r

Although both treatments should be attended to for quite some time, the first would usually require patients to be admitted to a rehab facility while the latter allows the patient to get rehab treatment at home.

Question by Strawberry Pocky: My whole family is depressed and suicidal? (please read the whole thing)?
Please help me. I don’t want to live with my family anymore. I don’t want to make this too long, but I’ll briefly describe what my family is like. But please read this!

My dad is very depressed. He sleeps most of the day except when he works. When I ride in the car with him, he drives like a maniac and says he does it to relieve his stress. He takes anti-anxiety medicine. But most of all, he is always in a terrible mood. It’s not just like that, but he literally never smiles and is always frowning and cursing and yelling. Right now I live alone with him just for the summer. My parents are getting divorced. He is just always unhappy, a perfectionist, and also has ideas on killing himself.
