So, dis mεtכd nɔr de yuse fɔ ɔlman wae gɛt dɛn kayn tin ya. Bɔt if denja de wantɛm wantɛm to yu layf ɔ ɔda pipul dɛn layf bikɔs ɔf di tin we de apin, den dis kayn step fɔ tek.

Wetin na di krayteria fɔ rifer pɔsin lɛk dis?

Okay, naw lɛ wi si us kayn tin dɛn nid fɔ fulfil if dɛn fɔ rifer pɔsin fɔ tritmɛnt agens wetin i want. Dis nɔto sɔntin we pɔsin kin du jɔs bikɔs sɔmbɔdi tɔk so. Dis na sivil ligal prɔses . Insay Sri Lanka, lɔ dɛn de we gɛt fɔ du wit dis. (Di ɔrijinal atikul tɔk bɔt Amɛrika lɔ dɛn, bɔt di men aidia na di sem ɔlsay).

Na sɔm pan di men tin dɛn we dɛn kin tink bɔt:

• Yu fɔ gɛt mental wɛlbɔdi kɔndishɔn wit siriɔs sayn dɛm . Dɛn sayn ya fɔ rili afɛkt aw yu ɔndastand, aw yu de fil , aw yu de jɔj, ɛn aw yu de biev. Fɔ ɛgzampul, yu nɔ go ebul fɔ no difrɛns bitwin wetin na tru ɛn wetin nɔto tru, ɔ yu kin vɛks pasmak fɔ natin.

Wan ɔda tin na dat wi kin tray fɔ gi tritmɛnt di we we nɔ go mek pɔsin nɔ gɛt ɛnitin fɔ du wit am. Dat min se, if yu kin kam ɛn gɛt tritmɛnt frɔm os (ɔtpeshɛnt savis), wi kin tray fɔ gi tritmɛnt da we de we yu nɔ nid fɔ de na ɔspitul (inpatient savis).

Aw dis ‘Involuntary Commitment’ prɔses kin apin?

Okay, so lɛ wi luk aw dis prɔses we dɛn kɔl ``(Involuntary Commitment)`` kin wok. Dis kin difrɛn smɔl frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin, ɛn i kin difrɛn bak dipen pan di lɔ ɛn rigyuleshɔn dɛn we de na ɛni kɔntri. Bɔt in jɔnal, na sɔm step dɛn ya:

1. Pɔsin we de wɔri kin aks fɔ ɛp: Sɔmbɔdi we de wɔri bɔt yu (dis kin bi yu fambul mɛmba, yu padi, dɔktɔ, `(sɔshial woka)`, ɔ polis ɔfisa (`(lɔ ɛnfɔsmɛnt ɔfisa)`)) kin kɔntakt pɔsin we go ɛp fɔ stat dis `(sivil kɔmitmɛnt)` prɔses.

2. Riferal fɔ mek dɛn du mɛdikal ɛgzamin: Sɔntɛnde di polis kin intavyu ɛn kɛr yu go na `` imejensi rum``, dat na, imejensi tritmɛnt yunit, ɛn sho yu to ``hɛlthkɛr prɔvayda``.

3. Mɛdikal Ɛvalueshɔn: Di dɔktɔ go ɛgzamin yu fɔ si if yu rili mit di kwalifayeshɔn fɔ ``Involuntary Commitment''.

4. Admit to mental health unit: If di dɔktɔ disayd se yu mit di krayteria, dɛn go admit yu na inpatient psychiatric fasiliti fɔ tritmɛnt.

5. Kot ɔda: Dɔn, dɛn kin gɛt kɔt kot fɔ disayd if dɛn nid fɔ kip yu na jel fɔ lɔng tɛm. Dis tɛm kin difrɛn frɔm wan kɔntri to ɔda kɔntri ɛn frɔm wan provins to ɔda provins.

Sɔntɛnde, bitwin step tri ɛn 4, bifo di dɔktɔ disayd fɔ du di las tin, dɛn kin de wach yu fɔ lɛk 72 awa so. Dis imejensi hold kin alaw yu simptom fɔ stebul. If yu ebul, yu kin ebul fɔ admit yusɛf fɔ tritmɛnt afta dɛn 72 awa de if yu want.

Dis ɔl prɔses ɛn di tɛm we i kin tek kin difrɛn frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. I kin difrɛn bak dipen pan di lokal sivil kɔd.

Wetin na di bad tin dɛn we kin apin we dɛn fos dɛn fɔ trit am?

Gud ɛn bad say dɛn de fɔ dis kayn tritmɛnt we pɔsin nɔ want. Na wan say, i kin sev yu layf , i kin gi yu sɛkɔn chans. Dat na di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl.

Bɔt pan di ɔda say, if dɛn fos yu fɔ trit yu we yu nɔ want, dat kin mek yu fil bad bad wan, fred, ɛn nɔ ebul fɔ ɛp yu . Sɔntɛnde, dis kin ivin mek pɔsin gɛt wan sik we dɛn kɔl Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

If dɛn put yu ɔnda ``Involuntary Commitment'', dat kin mek yu du dɛn tin ya:

• Na yu yonDi abit dɛn we wi kin gɛt ɛvride kin ambɔg.
• Yu kin fil se dɛn dɔn sɛl yu , mɔ if yu yon pipul dɛn bin de pan di kes.
• Sɔntɛm i kin gɛt prɔblɛm wit mɔni biznɛs .
• We yu de na ɔspitul, yu kin lɔs sɔm pan yu yon fridɔm .
• Yu kin lɔs fet pan di wɛlbɔdi biznɛs ɔ di wan dɛn we de wok fɔ di lɔ.

Sɔmtɛm, yu nɔr kin no aw yu sik kin tranga bifo dɛn admit yu na ɔspitul. Bɔt sɔm stɔdi dɔn sho se afta dɛn dɔn gɛt di tritmɛnt we dɛn nid ɛn wɛl, bɔku pipul dɛn kin no aw dis ``(Involuntary Commitment)`` bin impɔtant.

Sɔm pipul dɛn de we kin fil vɛks ɛn sɔri fɔs, dɛn kin se, "Dɛn fos mi fɔ kam ya," bɔt leta, dɛn kin tink se, "O, a de ya tide bikɔs ɔf wetin dɛn bin de du da tɛm de."

Aw lɔng dis tritmɛnt go tek?

Aw lɔng yu nid tritmɛnt go dipen pan wetin yu nid. Bikɔs dis na ligal prɔses, di kɔt go kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt hiring fɔ si aw tin de go. Fɔ ɛgzampul, dɛn kin gɛt kɔt kes ɛvri 7 dez, 14 dez, wan mɔnt, ɔ tu mɔnt. If yu stil mit di krayteria fɔ sivil kɔmitmɛnt (dat na, yu stil de pan denja fɔ du bad to yusɛf ɔ ɔda pipul dɛn), yu kin nid fɔ de na ɔspitul fɔ gɛt ɔda tritmɛnt.

Stɔdi dɔn sho se di risk fɔ kil insɛf kin bɔku insay di fɔs mɔnt dɛn afta dɛn dɔn kɔmɔt na ɔspitul . So, i rili impɔtant fɔ bil gud sɔpɔt sistɛm ɛn kɔnɛkt wit lokal risɔs usay yu kin fɛn ɛp we yu nɔ de fil fayn. Insay Sri Lanka, tɛlifon nɔmba ɛn ɔganayzeshɔn dɛn de bak we de ɛp pan dɛn kayn tin ya (e.g. Sumitrayo 1333, CCCline 1926). Kɔntakt dɛn if nid de.

We pɔsin fos yu fɔ du sɔntin we yu nɔ want fɔ du, yu go mɔs fil bɔku filin. Na rili nɔmal tin fɔ fil lɛk se dɛn de trit yu lɛk pikin, lɛk se nɔbɔdi nɔ de lisin to yu, we yu de go tru wan prɔses lɛk dis.

Pan ɔl we dis kin mek yu vɛks ɛn kɔnfyus, mɛmba se ɛvri step fɔ dis prɔses na fɔ mek yu ɛn ɔda pipul dɛn sef ɛn gɛt wɛlbɔdi. Yu na di wan we want fɔ si yu de liv, ilɛksɛf i rili at, ɛn yu dɔn disayd fɔ aks fɔ ɛp. I kin tranga fɔ si dis wae yu de midul dis prɔses, bɔt no se pipul dɛm de rawnd yu wae want fɔ ɛp yu, nɔr fɔ du yu bad.

If yu gɛt ɛni kwɛstyɔn bɔt aw dis go wok ɔ wetin yu fɔ ɛkspɛkt, nɔ shek fɔ aks di wan dɛn we de kia fɔ yu, di wan dɛn we de wok fɔ yu, ɔ ɛnibɔdi we de na yu mɛdikal tim.
