Can he keep me in here and threaten me with police and schedule? I honestly dont think my behavior has been inappropriate the last few weeks, yeh I'm manic but I haven't done anything really wrong so I dont understand why I'm being kept here or even put in hospital in the first place! Any advice??? Thanks

A lot depends on where you are. If you're in Canada, they have more power over their psych admits than they do in the States. However, if your doctor feels that you are a danger to yourself or others he can keep you in the hospital until he's got you medically balanced and past that point.
