There needs to be a total revolution in this entire MH treatment system. First of all, everything should be voluntary. If you can give informed consent to "any means necessary" to protect yourself from "self-harm" ahead of time, fine, it's your choice. I would have no problem with people who WANT to be locked up for their own safety being locked up. BUT, people who DON'T want that for whatever reason should ALSO be allowed the dignity of that option. Just like people with a terminal physical illness should be allowed the dignity of assisted suicide.

But our society can't see that.
