henry wants to have his wife eleanor committed to a mental hospital because he believes she presents a danger to herself. what would be the first step in the civil commitment process?

Civil Commitment process has two purposes, these are to treat people with psychological instabilities when they can't or unwilling to look for treatment intentionally. what's more, to ensure the individual with dysfunctional behavior and others from hurt because of the disease. So in this process, Henry or another concerned person would have to file the petition with the court to examine Eleanor if she is a really a danger to herself.

Ibelieve the answer is water and oil.
