Yes you can if you're a danger to yourself or others.

What happened - did your medical dictionary have all the pages ripped out after it had got to the letter "E" !=
I've never been involuntarily committed but as a therapist have had to do many.



Taraoffs vs. California ruled that one by law must break confidentiality if someone is a danger to self, another or harm is being done to that person (if a minor). It has very little to do with an actual "diagnosis". Certinaly not many that you have listed above!



To explain why each is a mental disorder would take hours. I urge you to look up DSM IV-TR definitions or go to your libary and look at a DSM IV-TR which will give you details on each disorder.

Generally each of these is considered a mental disorder because there is nothing physically wrong with the person ( a physical diagnosis should always be ruled out before a mental disorder is diagnosed) but the symptoms disorder associated with the disorder has a large impact on many aspects of that person life.Can u be sent to mental assylum without ur permission if not then when? askin 4 generl knowledge?
Yes, you can be committed, the answers are correct, as to the criteria, however they, did not include, "if you are deemed a treat to society".

Most all of the so called, disorders you ask about are now being treated with drug's.

You somehow, however hit on the major cause of many of these problems early on in you statement.

Alcohol/Drug abuse is, in many cases the major cause of these problems. (In particular in the Western Cultures)

The research is in that would validate, everything that has been stated above. As to why it has not been acted on, is a whole different subject. Mostly economics's.

The only effective way of dealing with this problem, that I am aware of is through a non-profit organization. AA, NA.

So much more could be said, however to what avail?
Hi,all it takes is 2 doctors to sign a form %26amp; then your sectioned.Can u be sent to mental assylum without ur permission if not then when? askin 4 generl knowledge?
If you are shown to be a danger to yourself another person can and will make the decsion for you.

It is best when a person needs help.
First things first - it depends on which state you live in - all states have differnet laws.



Secondly it doesn't matter where you live it is EXTREMELY difficult for that to happen - you not only have to be a harm to yourself and others but you have to have a constant history of both.



Third you must be signed in by a three party petition - three people which knows the patient must sign a waver stating you are extremely dangerous and they fear harm of someone in the general public and all three MUST know of the conditions and sign under oathe that they would be willing to testify in a court under oathe that they know of this behavior.



A judge will the decide if and how long you will be sent to get help.



If they think permanent care is something they will usually send you for more elvulations and to a local state hospital where you will then go back before the same judge to get reevulated.



This process can take a VERY long time and rarely happens.



Just as if they committed a horrible crime - it must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you are incapable of acknoweldging right and wrong and to care for yourself and are a MAJOR harm to yourself and others.



Most of everything listed above does apply to most states.
You could be sectioned
go away...ur giving me a condition.
If anybody working in the health system of authority deem that you are at risk from yourself or are a risk to others then they can sections you without your permission, under the mental health act.
If you are diagnosed with all of the above you would be in care
You can be committed against your will if you can be deemed a danger to yourself or to others.
Yes, you can be mandated to be admitted to a psychiatric facility or a behavioral center.

(mental asylum?!- that's an archaic title.)



I've been in a behavioral center/ psychiatric facility- (voluntarily) and it's not as bad as you would think %26amp; no, I'm not ashamed to tell anyone about this- because I voluntarily seeked help and I'm way more "normal", than a lot of people- lol (laughing like a loon-

j/k)



Oh, and anxiety is a condition way beyond normal worry and anxiousness- it is extreme!
If you become a danger to yourself or others then you can be sectioned by two doctors under the mental health act. I see there's nothing wrong with your medical dictionary.
You can be commited against your will if you are a threat to yourself or anyone else, they normally put you on a 48-72 hour hold to determine if you need further help...if you need to talk IM me or email me. Good Luck
You can only be sectioned under the mental health act if you are identified as being a danger to yourself and or others.



It is actually very hard to get sectioned. There will be a GP and an ASW (Approved Social Worker) an ambulance and often the Police.



Normally its a section where you can be initially detained for upto 28days, for assessment/ diagnosis and treatment.



At the 28day stage your case would be reviewed and it would be determined that you either needed an extention to be kept on the ward for further treatment/ observations OR you would be relased, with hopefully a careplan/ follow up plan. (If medication is involved at discharge you can be allocated a CPN - Community phychiatric Nurse)



We all have varying levels of mental health (although most will not admit to it). It only becomes an issue when it effects your ability to live your everyday life.



Hope this answer makes sense?
can someone kill me? Don't want to live no more!
Yes, one can be admitted to a psych unit against their own will; it is called an involuntary admission (or a 1013). This happens when the person is a threat to harm themselves or others.
If you are deemed to be a danger to either yourself or someone else then you can be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. The police can section you for an assessment and then if the doctors and social worker who interview you deem it necessary you can then be sectioned for further assessment (s.2 - up to 28 days) or for treatment (s.3 - up to 6 months). Both can be renewed at the end of the section time. If you try to leave the hospital whilst under a section the staff have the right to try and stop you, or if you do leave they can call the police to bring you back.



I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociation and when I get depressed am a danger to myself. I have been in hospital several times, the last admission was against my will under section 2. Not all of what you mentioned are "mental illnesses" and you therefore cannot be sectioned if you suffer from them, this applies to agoraphobia (fear of outdoors), bibliomania (love of books) and sleep disorders etc.
