Sac, another possible consequence to seeking help, is that a student could be hospitalized against their will, if they are viewed to be suicidal. In the Stanford Daily Online last week (don’t remember the exact date but you can search online to find) was just such a story. A student went to health services to get his meds refilled and he was hospitalized by the school psychiatrist on a 72hr. hold in an inpatient psych ward at Stanford Hospital. It is a detailed story from the student’s point of view. After he was released three days later, he also left school.
