It's a tough one. I suppose there shouldnt be any general rules as everyone's circumstances are different. Some people respond to hospital and some people get worse.

I think that if anyone is going to attempt to take their own life, and they refuse any help, then they should be sectioned.

And as sunshine said, if someone has attempted to take their own life or has harmed badly and needs life saving medical treatment, they should be treated against their will and sectioned if they dont agree to voluntary admission.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
