Psychologists and psychiatrists are professional providers of mental health care. They must perform their duties to their patients within the accepted standard of care.

When these professionals counsel a mentally ill individual they owe a special responsibility to them to ensure that they are not a danger to themselves or others and prescribe detention and medication as appropriate.
