In fairness, to be allowed to admit someone to a facility against their will should require a bit of a heightened standard. I can easily see a lot of children/grandchildren abusing This to use mom/dad or grandparents home and money while they are institutionalized.



I can see this point of view, but when someone is diagnosed bipolar or schizophrenic and they refuse treatment they are causing more harm to themselves and society at large. It is a difficult balance but if your loved one is deteriorating before your eyes and you can’t help , more than one person is affected.

He was fully willing to go voluntarily and was admitting everything was getting worse... No one will admit them overnight. They can in their mind know that things could escalate, but your person working the phones or front door can't and won't admit them even voluntarily. The only way they can get 24 hour observation is to show threatening behavior. There is an area and time when one is coherent enough to understand what is going on... Yet if it's not 9am-4pm no one will see you for a week. You might get access to some counselor with a vague degree from a JUCO and maybe if you are lucky see a hospital chaplin. It's Sad. Y'all have a good evening and one day this will affect you. Contact your rep and let them know sudan, egypt israel need to get their own shite together cause we are handing out boat loads of money. Just 20 percent of that allocated for mental health would be a game changer.
