- cwmoore 4y agoThe list of people who need help is so much longer than any one causing an event that makes it into the newspapers or anecdotes. Why is it such a fantasy that treatment options should be appealing to the people committing themselves to them?
- smcg 4y agopresumably, in order to obtain consent. non-consensually committing someone raises issues that must be addressed to prevent abuse. I live in a state with 72 hour minimum emergency involuntary committal. (further requires a court order) this is a compromise that addresses the above concern. ideally it is enough for the patient to get on a routine of taking meds and making sure there aren't adverse reactions from them.
