Thus the poll----some people would for themselves want forced treatment for sure I know Elyn Saks advocates for that in some situations including first breaks and is considerably more tolerant of hospitalization in general. I think Fred Freese thinks similarly.
For myself its hard----it's possible I could get into a situation where I had no insight quite easily but if I think if I were stabilized by force I would go vigilante after that----when the law actively opposes and oppresses who you are as a person you tend to rail against it. Still I'm generally a pretty compliant person and I imagine with enough talking I would get the help I needed on a voluntary basis so long as it was outpatient.
I admit its sad all around but I would still choose the yellow door....
