Can my mom forces to go to a mental hospital?

Can my controlling mom forces me to go to a mental hospital if I’m 23 and live in Montreal, Quebec, and can she calls the cops for forcing me to go if I refuse?

You cannot be institutionalised without your own consent, unless you’re under 18 OR mentally impaired in which case your legal guardian is the one who makes decisions for you.

Ok but if she calls cops can the cops bring me into the hospital without my consent?

Depends on why she’s calling the cops on you. If you’re trying to take your own life, then she can call the cops, they will take you to the hospital for an assessment with a trained professional who will evaluate your condition and either discharge you or discuss your care options with you.

No, your mother cannot force you to go to a mental hospital if you are 23 and live in Montreal, Quebec. If you are struggling with your mental health, there are many resources available to you. You can seek help from a therapist, counselor, or other mental health professional on your own terms.
