A member asked:
Can my dr force me into inpatient treatment for anorexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Likely: Each state, including pa, has laws regarding involuntary treatment. An individual can only be confined if considered a danger to themselves (suicidal), danger to others (homicidal) or gravely disabled. Although anorexia is a very serious illness with a high mortality rate, the diagnosis itself does not warrant involuntary treatment. It is important to follow md recommendations. Get help.
