the grounds for involuntary commitment to a mental health facility in the united states is - making threats and or actions of self injury, suicidal, homicide. at the minimum a person recieves a 72 hour hold for obsevation and diagnosis , medication stabilization and possible arrest depending on the treatment teams reports.

After 72 hours the treatment team meets and decides what to do - release no conditions, release with conditions, release for criminal arrest, held in commitment for the next 14 days.

at 14 days the treatment team meets again recommending release same as above or send to a long term (indefinately and more secure) facilities.

Basically the person can be held in a mental health unitl until the treatment team deems the person is no longer a threat to themself and or others.

Since you are in canada you might want to contact mental health agencies and the police to find out exactly what is going to happen to you if you still cannot "seem to control" your behavior. Most likely they have the same protocal or very simular for such behavior.

With technowlegy, medication and a very wide ranged nation wide services for mental health the police now rarely accept "I have this so I can't control myself" excuses. Now the person is just held in commitment to mental health facilities until they are deemed sane enough to stand trial for their crimes. For example one rapist who could not seem to control his behavior tried to say he was incompetent and he was held in a prison and or secure mental health unit for about 5 years and then was convicted and is now serving a life sentence with no parole. This man will die in prison.
