i have been struggling for a very long time and the free, public mental health service we have in ireland is not helping me enough.


my daily life, independence and goals/aspirations are being extremely affected by my mental illness. however its not technically an emergency situation. so is a private mental hospital suitable for me?


can anyone choose to admit themselves if there's an available bed and they're paying?

either way i am going to see my general doctor tomorrow for advice/referral. but in the meantime i would appreciate any knowledge/personal experience/advice on this topic. thanks :)
