Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involuntary commitment is a legal process by which a person is placed in a psychiatric treatment facility against their will due to being deemed a danger to themselves or others. This is often based on behavior that suggests a risk of harm or danger to self or others, such as suicidal ideation, violent behavior, or severe mental illness. Bizarre or delusional behavior or a DSM-IV diagnosis alone may not warrant involuntary commitment, but they may be factors considered in the decision-making process. Commitment is not based on a criminal offense.
