The Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983 is a piece of legislation (in England and Wales) which tells people with mental health problems what their rights are regarding:
- Assessment and treatment in hospital
- Treatment in the community
- Pathways into hospital, which can be civil or criminal
- Some patients go into hospital voluntarily and are known as informal patients. Some patients go to hospital without their consent because of the severity of their mental illness. This is known as being a formal patient. Formal patients are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
