What happens if the third examiner does not find the person mentally ill or disordered?

When a third examiner evaluates a person and determines that they are not mentally ill or disordered, it indicates that the individual does not meet the criteria for mental illness under the relevant legal or medical standards. In this context, the appropriate action is to release the person, as they are no longer considered a risk to themselves or others due to mental health issues. The involvement of a third examiner typically aims to ensure that no wrongful detention occurs based on a subjective assessment of mental health, upholding the individual's rights.

The logical progression from the third examiner's finding means that if mental illness is ruled out, further detainment is unwarranted. Reassessment may be necessary in certain situations, but only if new evidence or circumstances arise that suggest a change in the individual's mental status. Therefore, when the conclusion is clear, the best course of action is to release the individual from any involuntary hold.
