The Mental Health Act 2007.
The Mental Health Act allows people with a 'mental disorder' to be detained (held, usually in a hospital); and given treatment without their permission. The term mental disorder includes mental illness, which covers conditions such as schizophrenia and depression; and 'any other disorder or disability of the mind'. However, you can be detained under the Mental Health Act only if other conditions are met.
Mental Capacity Act 2005.
The Mental Capacity Act provides a statutory framework for people who lack capacity and for decisions to be made on their behalf or for those that have capacity and want to make preparations for when they lack capacity in the future. We provide advice and assistance to individuals, especially the elderly, that may require the intervention of the Court of Protection in their mental capacity issues.
