Scott Disick Was Hospitalized on a 5150 Psychiatric Hold

Scott Disick was in such bad shape, he was involuntarily hospitalized for being a danger to himself or others.

The Blast has confirmed authorities including the LA County Fire Department responded to Disick's Hidden Hills home at 4:54 PM on August 18. Fire tells us L.A. County Sheriffs also responded to assist.

[UPDATE: The 911 caller told dispatchers that Disick "got drunk" and that, "Someone needs to take him to the hospital."]

Law enforcement sources tell us the sheriffs were called because at the time Disick was being uncooperative. By the time cops arrived on scene, he had calmed down and was complying with officials.

We are told Disick was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and transported to the ER at West Hills Hospital. A person is placed under this type of hold when they are deemed to be a danger to either themselves or others, and can be for up to 72 hours.

According to our sources, Disick was given a private room with his own security guard posted outside.

Our sources say Kourtney Kardashian showed up to support the father of her children and wanted to be there because he has no other family.

We're told Scott was allowed to take smoke breaks periodically, but was accompanied by hospital staff at all times.

While a 5150 hold allows medical personnel to hold a patient for up to 72 hours, we're told Disick was released prior to that and he was seen a few days later walking around L.A. with a friend.
