What will happen to my brother who attempted suicide? knowing that he has severe social anxiety and asperger's, will they still force him to stay in a hospital?

Normally people are: Hospitalized until they are no longer at significant risk to harm themselves. There are legal means to detain people who don't want to remain hospitalized but this is only done if absolutely necessary. Take care.
