A comprehensive and compassionate guide to help families understand and navigate psychiatric hospitalization.
Each year, millions of Americans face psychiatric hospitalizations, yet this process often remains shrouded in stigma and mystery. In this indispensable guide, Mark J.

• The logistics of the admission process, including how to choose the right hospital based on patient needs
• What families and patients can expect during every treatment phase, from initial assessment to active treatment to planning for discharge
• The critical role of family involvement in the care and recovery process
• The legal aspects of hospitalization, including patient rights and advocacy
• The strategies for aftercare and avoiding readmission, highlighting the importance of ongoing support after discharge
Dr. Russ shares not only professional insights but also his own personal journey with psychiatric hospitalization. His dual perspective as both physician and patient brings an unprecedented depth of compassion and understanding to this guide.
