The system preys on those that are isolated and may not have a support system. There's a similar issue with involuntary psychiatric care -- you're more likely to be committed (especially for no good reason) if you are alone and have no one who can get you legal aid on the outside. While in, they keep you isolated and too medicated to function.
- hestipod 7y agoIt's depressing (ha!) how accurate this cynical sounding stuff is. I have had to be really cautious as my usually avoidant and blaming family have threatened to try and have me locked up by exaggerating things when I have told them how severely depressed I am as a result of my situation. They don't care to help in any practical way and ignore me in general. They know I have no financial stability. They know taking such action would put me in five to six figure unrecoverable debt here. It's the same with "mental health providers". You cannot be open without fear of debt and losing more agency. It's why I occasionally rant online as I have no safe space irl. My mental issues are entirely side effects of my physical and financial issues...but those root problems are avoided.
