Heck. I'd be locked in an asylum long ago if that was the case here.
Here if a MH professional has reasonable cause to think you are a danger to yourself or others. Which quite frankly I am when I am manic and you refuse treatment (which I did by not attending a GP appt) they can MAKE you attend involuntarily. This is in Australia. But because of what I do when I'm manic no-one wants to take the chance I won't kill someone.
