Milloin ihminen voidaan määrätä pakkohoitoon?
In 1975, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in "O'Connor v. Donaldson" that involuntary hospitalization and/or treatment violates an individual's civil rights. The individual must be exhibiting behavior that is a danger to themselves or others and a court order must be received for more than a short (e.g. 72-hour) detention. The treatment must take place in the least restrictive setting possible. This ruling has severely limited involuntary treatment and hospitalization in the United States. The statutes vary somewhat from state to state.
