According to him psychiatry deals in two things, the objective and subjective observations. Miss Rutchel Apostol argued and insisted that there was no mention of her being under treatment, that the psychiatrist is merely her and her mother s mediator. But when asked by the doctor to confirm to the truth that she once admitted that she suffered depression which sometimes made her contemplate suicide, she confirmed to the truth of the matter but qualified that she is coping with the situation. The psychiatrist believes that Ms. Apostol may not be able to cope with the stress yet because of the different factors that may ensue. That after she will finish her college course, she will be left free to go where she pleases.
Emancipation takes place by the attainment of majority.
Unless otherwise provided, majority commences at the age of eighteen years. In a case, the petitioner asked for writ of habeas corpus to return his daughter, who had already reached the age of majority, to her parental home which she left without his consent as father nor the consent of her mother. This right to control one s person includes the right to choose a separate place of residence and the persons in whose company he desires to live. Article 317 refers to control over property. It can not, therefore, be said that the daughter, who after majority continues to live with her parents, remains under her parents custody.
