It may be an unpopular opinion, but if it were me, I would want forced treatment. Nothing scares me more than my psychoses, and every time I come out of one I need to do some soul searching. I have had psychoses with violent fantasies and if I had ever acted on one it would have been horrible. Maybe I'm different from this man because most of my psychoses were not benign, I was a danger to myself for sure, but really, is there a benign psychosis? I would not want to live like that. Sure, he's not harming anyone, but doesn't anyone wonder how he feels? Is he terrified? I would be.

If I was exhibiting those symptoms I would want someone to force treatment on me. Like when I was anorexic - I probably would have died if my school hadn't kicked me out until I'd gone through treatment. I know psychosis is different, but to me, if I ever end up like that I want forced treatment.

I also wouldn't want to be such a worry to my family and friends. I hate when people worry about me, and it seems his family's worry is affecting their health. I have lost friends who have said I'm too much worry to deal with, so my main goal in life is to be as little a worry as possible.
