Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Kansas

Unless you plan to commit an act of violence soon, your doctor is bound to a duty of confidentiality. I am unaware of a single case of someone being charged for a suicide attempt, based solely upon what they tell their therapist. The civil law wishes to encourag people to seek treatment. That link c policy is so strong that it doesn't allow doctor s to report physically or mentally challenged njured persons to the criminal authorities.

As for "being committed", there isn't enough information here to give you much help. If the psychiatrist determined new that you are an imminent threat to the safety of you or others, and you're refusing to comply with prescriptions, they can seek an Order of the Court granting a facility authority to hold you involuntary for treatment, until you regain the ability to make rational decisions. I'm no doctor, but the fact that you're weighing the costs of seeking treatment, tends to negate the basis for finding a need for an Involuntary Hold Order.

You already know to get medical help. You weren't able to supply man facts here. So, you should consult directly with a civil or probate practice attorney in your area. There may be factors that would alter an opinions described here.

Good luck
