Yes!
One thing that help to increase mass shootings and suicide was the anti-asylum movement. many people who clearly are a danger to himself and others should be hospitalized. unfortunately asylum got a bad reputation for inhumane treatments, but modern psychiatric treatment is completely different that the past inhumane treatments.
- beatgammit 7y agoThe thing that worries me about mental hospitals that don't allow the patient to leave is that whether someone can be released is very subjective. Fixing mental health issues usually requires cooperation from the patient, and that can only really happen if the patient wants it to happen. I'm on board with increased access to mental health facilities, but I'm skeptical of using them for convicts unless the convict consents. Psychiatric treatment often involves medication, and I don't believe anyone should be forced to take medicine, especially mind-altering medication.
