Section 8 under the Mental Health laws relates to the section of the Mental Health Act that deals with involuntary detention. There are 5 criteria in Australia and my guess is that it's similar in all Wesern countries: 1. The person must appear to be mentally ill - significant disturbance of thought, mood, perception or memory. (Note that a definitive diagnosis is not needed). 2. The person's mental illness reuires immediate treatment and that treatment can be obtained by issuing an involuntrary treatment order (section 8/9) 3. Because of the mental illness, involuntary treatment is necessary for his/her safety or the protection of the public. 4. The person has refused treatment. 5. Treatment cannot be provided in a less restrictive manner. Each criterion must be met precisely.
