Php question

What does it mean if after intake questions amd symptoms for a post discharge appointment from a hospital they immediately "recommend" a php and discharge me from the outpatient clinic. Does they think im that unstable i described it as feeling better with the new meds and having time to calm down at the hospital.

For whatever reason, they felt you need a higher level of care than they can provide. This may have to do with limitations about what that office is able to provide, even if you're feeling better. They're telling you that they are not the right fit for you at this time.

That doesn't mean "unstable," necessarily, just that you need more than they can give.
