What is the primary purpose of the BAKER ACT?

To provide financial aid to individuals with mental illness
To mandate compulsory education on mental health in schools
To enable involuntary examination for individuals who appear to have a mental illness and present a danger
To regulate the prescription of psychotropic medications

The correct answer is: To enable involuntary examination for individuals who appear to have a mental illness and present a danger

The primary purpose of the BAKER ACT is to enable involuntary examination for individuals who appear to have a mental illness and present a danger. This means that the BAKER ACT is used to provide emergency mental health services to individuals who are a potential risk to themselves or others. It is not intended to provide financial aid or education on mental health. Additionally, while the BAKER ACT does involve the evaluation and treatment of individuals with mental health issues, it is not specifically for regulating medication.
