A member asked:
Is it possible to be committed to an asylum for bipolar disorder or personality disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: In this era, involuntary mental health hospitalizations are imposed on homicidal or suicidal patients, or by court order. If there is a dual diagnosis, such as drug addiction and bipolar disorder (happens frequently), a person may be hospitalized for treatment but never against their will.
