He knows nothing about it.. does anyone know what I can expect to happen please? Im really nervous about it all not to mentions soo upset?
Anyone have any experiences they can share?

Answer
The best thing you can do is stay out of the way. This is likely to be a traumatic event for your brother and possibly also for you. Just let the police and ambulance people get on with their job. The important thing will be to help your brother recover, visiting him in hospital regularly talking to him and listening to him. The police and ambulance people will show up, they will read the grounds for sectioning him, explain that he is now sectioned and will take him away in the ambulance. There is a chance that they might sedate him too, though that would hopefully be unlikely.

Can you be sectioned under mental health act for anxiety?

I mean really bad anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia. Not just a bit of nerves. I think im getting worse, even tho im taking meds, sometimes i feel like im going mad. I dont want to go back to my GP cos he might think im bonkers. I also have a phobia of doctors and had a panic attack last time i was there which just makes it harder.
Answer
You could always commit yourself voluntarily. It's unlikely you would be sectioned because it's generally people who are a danger to themselves or someone else, and people that don't realise their mentally ill. If the doctor suggested you be admitted to hospital and you agreed then they wouldn't section you.
