We have something like that (^^) over here.

If a person is considered a threat to himself or society, he can be admitted to a mental hospital. There's a protocol, which includes a psychiatric evaluation before the 'order' is signed. It is also possible to ask for such an admittance by oneself.



Where I believe the conundrum (that's a big fancy word like "mayonaise") would lie is who makes the determination and what are and what are the criteria? I mean just to be brought to the attention of the authorities? Pissed off neighbor/ SO/ coworker? How does the syatem where you are work?

I think one of the good things that might come from this is society taking a look at how we deal with the mentally ill. Oh, I forgot. This will be old news when American Idol starts.

What's everyone think of the Westboro Baptist Church's protesting the funerals thing? Douchebags all.
