After different tests and seeing several doctors, it has been determined that Nasr al-Dawlah's illness is mental. The doctors' diagnosis are to keep him in psychiatric care for a period of time; if Nasr al-Dawlah is not hospitalized, he may attempt to commit suicide or murder others. Two conditions are required in French law to accept someone into psychiatric care: one is a doctor's diagnosis and the other is permission from a family member of the patient and a description of the difficulties.
