Question by : What kind of patients at the in the special intensity units of psychiatric hospitals?
I was inpatient three separate times in the adolescent unit while I was 18 for suicide attempts. I was often around the eating disorder unit, geriatrics, chemical dependency and such but definitely not around the SIU.
