Hiya, this topic is something interesting to me and close to my heart due to personal experiences. I had a topic like this on another forum and it took off really well, not sure how it'll do here, but still, it would be interesting to hear your experiences (regardless of country etc).

Have any of you ever dealt with police due to a mental health incident? For example, a detention for your own safety, and were you treated well by the police or not-so-well? Additionally, have you ever had any problems with background checks because of your mental health? Like here in the UK and in Canada, they can write about mental health incidents with police involvement in enhanced CRB checks and other types of background checks and it's lead to some people having a difficulty getting a sensitive job, like working with vulnerable people or joining the military.

P.S. If your experiences were too Triggering or you would find reading this kind of thing as Triggering, it would probably be best to either avoid this thread or read with caution!
