17 years old admit to hospital??

Question

I'm 17 and I need to go to the hospital for suicide watch. Although I turn 18 in less than a month, can I check myself in without my parents? I'm asking on here because they see my google searches. I live in Texas and would like to admit and stay without their knowledge.

Answer

I work at a hospital and one of my jobs is to be the person to watch the patients on suicide watch and parents have to be with the minors 24/7 but if you need it I would definitely go. Your not going to be able to get the help you need with out them unfortunately.

Answer

You’re considered an adult that can make your own healthcare decisions at 14 when it relates to your mental health. Go and get the help you need ❤️
