In England, 2 doctors must agree to commit someone. I realise it may be different in the States. Does she have a primary care physician? If s/he could talk to a pdoc - but then that would mean taking her into ER. The trouble with whatever copies of stuff you bring to a magistrate, they might just say maybe she was just drunk or high or that's not that crazy. You need to demonstrate she is a risk to herself or to others. find something that shows she's not med compliant, but needs them. I don't mean her medical records, but something from a pharmacy. I would also ask whoever's going to be paying for this, at your insurer. Or, can you go direct to a private pdoc? S/ he can admit once he's seen her, but that would mean bringing her to his clinic or having him/ her come to your house. Good luck, whatever you decide, it must be so hard. I hope it works out for all of you.
