Best Answer

In Canada, people who attempt suicide and survive may be held for psychiatric examination to determine if they are dangerous to themselve or other people. If the person is found legally insane they may be incarcerated in a medical facility. If the person is found to be legally sane they are free to refuse any medical treatment and cannot be held.
