The panic has set in because i didnt keep up with reading all the paperwork after an involuntary hospitalization. I was supposed to follow up my inpatient stay with community mental health for 90 days. I cant find the discharge papers but I dont believe the hospital even set it up that way. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Freak out time!!!!! I dont know what to do. My gut reaction is to hide under the covers...but that isnt the answer so what is??

Do you have a social worker? If so, get them involved. What the court will do depends upon many factors including the state laws, the local custom and other info. Did you have an attorney for the involuntary hold? If so, try calling them.

Here's what happens in New Hampshire; maybe look online for your state's procedure (NHH is the hospital; if your discharge conditions aren't met, you're sent back; Do not pass "Go" do not collect $200)?
Quote:
Forms are filled out by community mental health center clinical staff (i.e. case managers) in consultation with outpatient treating psychiatrists explaining the specific conditions that the individual did not follow and are sent to NHH with the individual. There is no court hearing (either district or probate) held when the individual returns. Individuals can contest being sent back to NHH, but such hearings are not heard by a judge but held in front of a Department of Health and Human Services hearings officer who works for the Office of Operation Support.

I'd contact your state's Department of Mental Health and see if you could get more info? Could be just contacting them, now, and trying to solve any "problem" will be enough to not cause you dire consequences?
