The Mental Health act in Alberta (not sure about other provinces) allows doctors to hospitalise people only if they are a threat to themselves or others. Once a person is no longer deemed a threat they are released. The problem arises after the release as there is no way to make sure said person is taking thier meds or continuing thier treatment.
If Li is released i would hope that a part of his condition of release is that he has to report to a shrink regularly so they can check to see if he is taking his meds.
