The psychiatric facility or Doctor must release your chart to you after a written request.
The only exceptions are if the request has been made as part of a legal dispute
or
it would create a substantial risk that the patient would inflict life threatening injury to self or others;
or
the patient would experience a severe deterioration in mental state;or
it would violate an assurance or confidentiality furnished to another person provided that such portion of the record is disclosed which would not constitute an invasion of privacy of another person.
