However, there are several circumstances in which individuals can be hospitalized involuntarily. These circumstances are:

If an individual poses danger to self or others
If an individual is unable to care for oneselfHospitalization may also be a treatment option if an individual:

Has access to lethal means (e.g., a firearm or a stockpile of pills)
Does not have social support or people to supervise them
Has a suicide plan
Has symptoms of a psychiatric disorder (e.g., psychosis, mania, etc.) Outpatient treatment
Outpatient treatment allows individuals to remain at their place of residence and receive treatment when needed or on a scheduled basis. Being at home may improve quality of life for some patients, because they will have access to their personal belongings, and be able to come and go freely. Before allowing patients the freedom that comes with outpatient treatment, physicians evaluate several factors of the patient. These factors include the patients level of social support, impulse control and quality of judgment. After the patient passes the evaluation, they are often asked to consent to a "no-harm contract". This is a contract formulated by the physician and the family of the patient. Within the contract, the patient agrees not to harm themself, to continue their visits with the physician, and to contact the physician in times of need. There is some debate as to whether "no-harm" contracts are effective. These patients are then checked on routinely to assure they are maintaining their contract and avoiding dangerous activities (drinking alcohol, driving fast and not wearing a seat belt, etc.).
Myopericarditis is a combination of both myocarditis and pericarditis appearing in a single individual, namely inflammation of both the pericardium and the heart muscle. It can involve the presence of fluid in the heart. Risk factors
The appearance of myopericarditis is associated with infections such as acute tonsillitis, pneumonia, and gastroenteritis.Smallpox vaccination has been a known risk factor for myocarditis and pericarditis since the 1950s. In 1983, an incidence of myocarditis of 1 per 10 000 was reported among Finnish military personnel. Among US military service members vaccinated between December 2002 and March 2003 with Dryvax smallpox vaccine 18 cases of probable myopericarditis were reported, which was an incidence of 7.8 per 100 000 over 30 days.A meta-review from 2022 shows that the overall risk for myopericarditis after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is low. In addition, the incidence of myopericarditis is significantly higher with a smallpox vaccination in comparison with a COVID-19 vaccination. The ACAM2000 smallpox vaccine has been known to cause myopericarditis in some people. Etymology
When ventricular function is normal, the term myopericarditis is used. Cases with impaired function are labeled perimyocarditis, though the two terms are often used interchangeably. Both will be reflected on an ECG.In a different naming scheme, inflammation that is predominantly pericarditis with some myocardial involvement is called myopericarditis, while predominant myocarditis with some pericardial involvement is called perimyocarditis. == References ==
