The thing with these outpatient commitment laws is that they force the county/ state, city to provide the services, so yeah, if you give people access to housing, rehabilitation services, family support, etc, you may see better outcomes than if you don't--but the forced medication isn't necessarily the driving force behind them.
Medications that alter the function of the brain as a first and often only treatment is problematic. Thinking force can heal and reducing the human experience to a disease is problem. So yeah, mental health professionals lack insight--often into the most basic things that make us human.
