Mental Health Act

The first official mental health act was created in 1983. This was created to protect and care for mental health patients but also a guideline for nurses and doctors in which to abide by when treating and caring for mentally ill patients. There are many revised versions of the mental health act and it is usually amended every year as new rules and guidelines come into place.
