Answer 2

only if you are a threat to yourself or others. 

Answer 3

I donr understand what this question is asking, but please go to my profile and answer the quetion that says "Am i hot"

Answer 4

In my experience, if it is necessary to save your life, i.e., if you are showing signs of suicidal ideation, then yes they can tell your family what is going on.

Answer 5

I cannot answer for the United Kingdom's mental health laws but I can answer for America.  It is a federal offense to breach a patient's confidentiality without their written consent.

However, you do not say what the team is concerned about.

In some cases where a patient is suicidal, homicidal or psychotic, a breach of confidentiality would be expected in order to save lives.

Answer 6

Here's an idea - take the advice of your "crisis team."   How many times do you plan on asking this question?

Answer 7

In the UK, US and Australia (at least) confidentiality can be breached for this reason - harm to yourself or others.  If they believe disclosing the concerns will keep you safe then yes.

Answer 8

If you are over 18, they can't tell them anything unless you are a danger to them or they need to know something to keep you safe. Either way they would only tell the minimum. If you are under 18 or signed a release, they can tell them a lot.

Answer 9

If you're over 18 they cannot tell anyone anything without your permission.

Answer 10

No..............
