Well, they could do, but you'd still have to be a threat to yourself or others. If you showed up to your appointments and cooperated, and you weren't hurting anybody, honestly I don't think they'd really look into it much.

They can only put you under a community treatment order to really monitor what you're doing once you're released if you've been on a section 3 -- that's the super duper long, six-month section. I don't think I've ever seen somebody get a first admission to hospital on anything other than a section 2, which is the month-long admission.
