How can I get my Mother-In-Law committed for treatment/psychiatrically assessed in Poland?

I'm looking for some information on how this works in Poland and well how the whole ordeal works.

I have a mother-in-law that lives with us(never ever let yourself get into this situation)
(I'm English and my wife is Polish just to make things clearer)

Basically she's a nightmare. Refuses to leave the house, mopes around in a depressive state, hardly eats, moans that everything is a problem.
She has a nightmare history of her life, with problems with her children husband etc. and her life turn out really ****** up.
She is severely depressed and really needs some help, she claims there's nothing wrong when approached about the problem by any member of family and just claims she wants to die.

Its gradually gotten worse, as at point she would at least go out and go visiting sometimes. Now she lies when people ask her to come over for a few days or do anything she makes excuses about everything, of course we are none the wiser till long afterwards when we speak to somebody and they said that they asked her to visit (she will have come out with something stupid like I'm getting my hair done, which hasn't happened in years). We are currently at the stage where she sits in her bedroom 24/7

Anyway this is also becoming a problem with friction between me and my wife so I do need to do something about it.
My wife has told me you can arrange it in Poland as you can elsewhere, but I just don't know how although she keeps saying she will do it.

We want to get her forcefully removed from the house to go to a proper clinic be assessed and get some help. What can we do and how do we go about this? and basically as nasty as this sounds just take away her right to say no so she can no longer run away from this fact

Any help is very much appreciated

How about pretending to be sick and calling out a doctor (pre-briefed). While the doc is there they can try to assess the old lady's situation. Sounds like a serious problem.

The only problem with this, is that she will be easily be able to avoid the situation. She has avoided previous discussions with family members before like this, as there's nothing to make her go through with anything and listen or answer questions. She would scurry to her bedroom and say leave me alone

Which would certainly tell the doctor something. And I'd imagine that it wouldn't be the first time that that had happened to a psychiatrist.

For her own good her GP should be told. If anything bad happened, you might be accused of neglect.

Well a while ago my wife pre-briefed the doctor at her situation and her doctor said she was more than happy for her mum to visit the surgery and have a chat. Of course my wife told my mother-in-law this and this didn't go down well "why are you trying to make me out to be crazy". This is the other problem, she's old school and believes anything like this makes you a nut job.

The reason I'm asking about going around it like this is if I have an answer on how to do so it will push my wife to do it if I have it in black and white, this is how you start the process. As my wife still (for the lack of a word "can't be bothered"). So maybe if I go to her with the answer that bypasses this optional doctor visit, we will start to get somewhere


The whole family knows, so I'm not worried about that. I mean I know she's not gonna kill herself, and although she claims she wants to die she won't do anything to actually purposely make this happen. But this doesn't change her state of mind or how intolerable this situation is becoming.
