My bofriend has been in mental health now 4 times this year but now he has a order to stay in there until he sees someone for his mental illness of bipolar and paranoia s I know he needs help but I miss him,does this mean he has to stay until they feel like he's getting better I don't understand

Hey I was in the same situation; I was considered a threat to myself and they wanted to keep me watched. They will keep him until they find that he is not a threat to himself or others. How old is he, and is the order a court order? Because if it is a court order than he needs to be found stable in front of a court with a psychiatric evaluation. I was 17
