Source of help: The suicide prevention hotline will provide crisis support and resources for treatment in most states only a physician can involuntarily hospitalize a patient. Generally a second physician must examine the patient with in 24 hours and if the recommendation is in agreement a probate court hearing must occur before a patient.
