Accepting or appearing to accept the official interpretation the staff gives to the patient's hospital stay and prehospital life is usually the key to a patient gaining release from a mental hospital. This means showing that the patient understands and agrees with the diagnosis and treatment plan, and is ready to continue it outside of the hospital environment. It is not necessarily about being "cured" or showing rebellion, but about demonstrating a willingness to work with the staff and follow their recommendations.
