i don't understand why she is still being held. How can this be legal?
Bodily distress syndrome is not even a mental health disorder according to Dr. Fink.
If BDS is not a true psychiatric disorder how can Dr. Fink justify kidnapping an adult?
Is it legal to force an adult terminal cancer patient to undergo chemotherapy?
If it legal to lock a chain smoker up to make him quit cigarettes?
What kind of doctor would do that?
The parents should sue the hospital and the doctors and the courts need to wake up see that what is being done is a human rights violation.
It's been awhile since I read this (see link below), but this is a history of events written by lawyer Jakob Skjoldan and submitted to the "committee who oversees forceful hospitalisations in Denmark" and the Danish Parliamentary Health Board. (English-language translation).

So, after the armed home invasion and kidnapping, Hammel Neurocenter Research Clinic for Functional Disorders [FFL] Chief of Psychiatry Niels Balle Christensen (NBC):
"(during Summer 2013) NBC shall have given Karina the very rare psychiatric diagnosis 'Pervasive Arousal Withdrawal Syndrome' (PAWS).
There are doubts about the extent to which this diagnosis is acknowledged, as it has no WHO code, and because it has only been used a few times, mostly on children in refugee camps. This mental disorder is characterised by the childs refusal to talk, walk, eat, care to its hygiene, etc. and angrily reject any contact with the outside world, including refusing any offer of help and treatment.
The diagnosis can not be applied to adults. Karina is now 25 years old! Karina has never before the forced hospitalization refused to talk, walk, eat or take care of her hygiene. On the contrary, she has cooperated to offers of help and treatment. (At one point, she could not walk or take care of her hygiene anymore, but she was still cooperative)."
And:
"As mentioned, it has been very difficult for Karina's parents and lawyers to get information on the reasons for the involuntary commitment.
But it appears that the incarceration is done in collaboration between Holstebro Municipality, Region Mid Jutland, FFL with professor and specialist Per Fink in charge, The National Board Of Health, The Police and The Health Minister."
Also, Danish physician Stig Gerdes has criticized Fink and accused him of conflict of interests, as his work has received millions in funding from pharma and insurance industries. See this post for additional info:

Fink associate Rick Steele has said,“The common endpoint for these syndromes [medically unexplained syndromes, including GWS, CFS PVS, etc.] is a disability pension. The enormity of this problem boggles the mind. Merely supporting this group of patients financially rivals half of the public outlays for health care or social benefits in northern European countries..."
