committed patients

Committed patients are individuals who have been legally mandated to receive treatment, often due to mental health conditions that pose a risk to themselves or others. This commitment can occur through a court order or medical evaluation, typically when a patient is unable to make informed decisions about their care due to their condition. The goal of commitment is to ensure that they receive necessary treatment while safeguarding their well-being and that of the community. This process is usually governed by laws and regulations to protect the rights of the individual while providing them with care.
