Summary
This study tests whether allowing patients with severe psychiatric conditions to admit themselves to inpatient care (instead of doctors deciding) can reduce involuntary admissions and improve well-being. Over 500 participants in Stockholm, Sweden, can self-admit up to three times a month for four-day stays. The goal is to see if this approach decreases coercive measures and boosts quality of life.
