Under the Mental Health Act 2007, a person can be involuntarily detained and treated if they are found to be mentally ill or mentally disordered following a mental health assessment.
Where to go for help You can get referrals from your family doctor, clergy or local Mental Health America office (which also may provide mental health care services) and crisis centers. Your insurance company can provide a list of providers who are in your plan.
First, you will need to find a gp. A good place to start might be a FB community group in your area and ask for recommendations there. Once youve found a GP youre going to make an appointment. Tell your GP you need some help and theyll be able to direct you from there with a referral to a mental health specialist.
Talk to your GP first Youll need to talk to your GP to use some mental health services. This is known as a GP referral. Your GP can also talk to you about your mental health and help introduce you to the right mental health service for your needs.
Usually you get a referral from your primary care dr. You may ask your pcp that you want a mental health evaluation or get the name of counselor or psychiatrist and explain that you would like a mental health evaluation.

You need to make an appointment with a licensed mental health professional who is qualified to do a mental health evaluation and make a diagnosis. Any independently licensed provider can do this.
If you or someone you know is worried about a mental health issue, the first step is talking to a healthcare professional. Your local doctor (general practitioner or GP) can conduct an initial mental health assessment and may refer you to a counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist depending on your needs.
In these urgent situations it is section 62 of the MHA 1983 which allows for the administration of certain treatment to be given to detained patients on long term sections under specific circumstances, which are detailed in the policy.
