Judge Altice and Judge Pyle concur
On May 16, 2023, IU Health Methodist Hospital (IU Health) filed a petition for
the temporary involuntary commitment of G.J., a twenty-three-year-old
woman, after she was hospitalized for symptoms of catatonia. This petition
was accompanied by a physician’s statement which specifically requested
treatment in an inpatient psychiatric unit. After a hearing, the court found G.J.
to be gravely disabled and ordered that she be temporarily committed at IU
Health until August 22. G.J. was subsequently transferred from IU Health to
Eskenazi.
