Compulsory admissions and preferences in decision-making in patients with psychotic and bipolar disorders

ConclusionsPatients who experienced a different level of participation in decision-making than desired more frequently had compulsory admissions. We propose to assess participation preferences each time a relevant treatment decision is about to be made and tailor care accordingly. We identified several factors leading to compulsory admissions that can be modified to prevent further coercive measures.
