[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychosis can also get him involuntarily committed, yes? Even in the absence of intention to harm?[/quote] Depends on how broadly they will define self harm. If they determine he isnt able to care for himself and that puts him at serious risk of harm, it might lead to admission. But it’s a tough road. And involuntary is for a few days then you go to court. And you get a lawyer who will do whatever you ask them of them. It is best if you can get agreement to voluntary. One of the biggest hurdles is getting payment. Insurance controls a lot when it comes to admission. Finally hospitalization is not a fix. It’s short term stabilization. You will really need good outpatient services. There may be waiting lists and compliance can be a major issue. Good luck. Dealing with psychosis is one of the toughest issues we’ve dealt with for our son. But medications can work miracles when you find the right one. [/quote]
