This is some truly horrible advice!
Finding a therapist is very very hard for most people - this is not your go-to when suicidal, this is something to prepare ahead of time.
SSRI's can cause suicidal thoughts in some people, but in the vast vast majority they eliminate them.
Those suicide hotlines are there to have someone to talk to, that's it. True they are not as good as a therapist, but they are better than nothing - and they give good advice.
The part about hospitalizations is troublesome because yes, they are incredibly invasive, and can really mess with people - but also there isn't really anything else we have available, mental health is not easily managed.
