A member asked:

Who can admitt me to inpatient mental hospital for acting out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you are a minor your parents. If you are an adult over 18 you can voluntarily admit yourself. If you are behaving in a manner that you are a danger to yourself or others you can be involuntarily admitted for 72 hours by family, physicians, police, counselor.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
