Mental Health Act Article 61

Suppose severe patients whom a designated psychiatric institution has referred to the court for a decision on compulsory hospitalization subsequently consent to receive hospital treatment during the referral period and then request discharge, but the designated psychiatric institutions determine that the patients still meet the conditions outlined in Paragraph 1 of Article 59 and that there is a necessity to continue the hospital treatment, which the patients refuse. In that case, the designated psychiatric institutions shall initiate the compulsory hospitalization referral process again and will no longer permit the patients to transition to voluntary hospitalization.
