Mental.

AI Research: The main legislation governing mental health in England and Wales

is the Mental Health Act 1983, which regulates the compulsory detention and

treatment of individuals with mental disorders. Reform of this Act is currently

underway, with a draft Mental Health Bill proposing significant changes to redefine

"mental disorder" to protect autistic people and those with learning disabilities,

raise the threshold for detention, and introduce more patient-centered rights like a nominated person instead of a nearest relative. 

We're in the year 2025...how can legislation from 1983 still be relevant? You tell me.
