Abstract:
In 2024, a total of 4,985 compulsory psychiatric admissions were carried out in Denmark. Because the admitting physician must not be employed at the psychiatric department to which the patient is being admitted, the assessment is most often conducted by non-psychiatrists, which may create uncertainty about the procedure. This review investigates the legal framework, the clinical and legal requirements for the assessment, including documentation of psychopathology, evaluation of motivation for voluntary admission, and collaboration with the police.
