Abstract
The Act amends Georgia laws relating to mental health and provides a statutory psychiatric advance directive form. The Act allows citizens with diagnosed mental health disorders to appoint a mental health agent to make treatment decisions on their behalf. The Act delineates the responsibilities, duties, and immunities of physicians and other providers using a psychiatric advance directive and clarifies the psychiatric advance directive’s interaction and relationship with other types of advance directives for health care.
