Reply to comment by 5nd in Is the fear of being involuntarily committed making people not seek mental health? by northhiker1

I say this as a former patient, fuck that. That's how you get Brenda Spencer.

Or more commonly, unalive ourselves. Being near a gun is an absolute nightmare when you have mental health issues

Sure but preventing people who have been involuntarily committed from having guns is not the same or even particularly similar to preventing "being near a gun when you have mental health issues"

Also, the Brenda Spencer case has nothing to do with this.

Getting treatment in this country is like pulling teeth. Fuck, they'll deny you inpatient treatment if you use mobility aids like a walker or wheelchair.

Most of the time, you get assigned out patient.

If you get committed, its serious.
