Hello, my firiend self admits himself to the hospital, is consumed by paranoia. The inpatient new physician tell us that unless the patient gives him permission to discuss his care, then he will tell family nothing!!!

The psych patient to give permission, that is so stupid it is funny!

My friend says he wants to get out, the family is not ready, not prepared and my friend is not either, but physician is NO help!!!!

Physician basically says, ok, unless you are going to hurt yourself or someone else, then he gets out! No plan of care, NOTHING!!!

Can the family do anything to keep him in? It is horrible!!
