In the United Kingdom, there are a number of solicitors who provide mental health law. But what exactly is mental health law? Essentially, it is a combination of constitutional law, administrative law, and human rights law that deals with the involuntary commitment of people with mental illness. involuntary commitment is when an individual is committed to a mental health facility without their consent. Mental health law also covers the principles of informed consent and advance directives, which give patients the right to refuse treatment. Informed consent means that patients must be given sufficient information about their condition and treatment options before they can make an informed decision about whether to accept or refuse treatment. Advance directives allow patients to pre-specify their preferences for treatment in the event that they become unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. Solicitors who provide mental health law help patients understand their rights and make sure that those rights are respected. They also provide representation for patients who have been involuntarily committed or who are facing involuntary commitment. If you or someone you love is dealing with mental illness, it is important to know that there are solicitors out there who can help. What Does Mental Health Law Cover? Mental health law covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: • The involuntary commitment of people with mental illness • The principles of informed consent and advance directives • The right to refuse treatment • The right to access medical records • The right to be free from discrimination • The right to vote so on and so forth… Mental health law is constantly evolving as society's understanding of mental illness changes. For example, in England and Wales, the Mental Health Act 1983 governs the involuntary commitment of people with mental illness. However, this Act is currently under review in light of recent scandals involving the misuse of mental health laws by police and other authorities.
