    Wait so does that mean it doesn’t count if a judge signed off without seeing you? I wish there was an easy way to check because when I was a kid the doctor asked if I would go voluntarily and I said no, so they said ok we got a judge to sign off and I said oh ok I guess I’m going… Not sure what the paperwork was so I don’t really know what it counts as.

      Probably varies by state, but involuntary commitment is a whole legal process with hearings and judges and a right to testify and all that jazz.

      You can look up court records to check. Maybe not in your case cause you were a kid, but if you get involuntarily committed as an adult there will be a court record of that.
