IDK anything about medicine and law but sounds to me like you are performing according to your oath and conscience.

The problem with the harm to self and others test is that it is almost never triggered. I would say a person who continually cycles in and out of jail, ER, psych hospital and inpatient treatment qualifies but if they haven't tied suicide and don't assault others the answer is no. Yet they live in public spaces leaving human waste and garbage. They panhandle and scare folks away from our downtown core which impacts small business. They take up resources that could be used by folks trying to get help. They take the cops away from working property crimes because they have to be street social workers. The list goes on......
