#therapy suicide

to anyone who has ever been in a psychiatry or something similar or knows anything abt them: regarding suicidal thoughts and attempts, how “bad” does it have to be to be put in one? what things that i say might make it more likely to get a recommendation by my therapist or get sent to one? (i am not against going, i think i do need help, id just like to know if my situation potentially could be “bad enough” for me to land in one and assess the risk) thank u!!
