Therapy?

[Im-Suffering]

Hi all.
I'm an worrying over therapy. I know worrying about therapy seems kind of ironic but this is what is happening.
I was thinking about going for some therapy to help me with my anxiety but I am worried that I will end up in a hospital - which I don't want.

Has any of you had any therapy? I would really like to know what to expect and I'd like to know if they can put me in hospital because of course that is not something I want, OR something I think I need.

Some input would be amazing.

You refer to a psychiatric hospital I gather, then :

Mental health act (USA): for involuntary confinement

The Act defines mental disorder as mental illness, severe dementia or significant intellectual disability where:


• Because of the illness, disability or dementia, there is a serious likelihood that you may cause immediate and serious harm to yourself or to other people or
• Because of the severity of the illness, disability or dementia, your judgement is so impaired that failure to admit you to an approved centre would be likely to lead to a serious deterioration of your condition or would prevent the administration of appropriate treatment that could only be given by such an admission and your reception, detention and treatment in an approved centre would be likely to materially benefit or alleviate your condition.
