Gentle reminder that the World Health Organization considers both forced restraints and involuntary hospitalization to be human rights abuses, and is advocating for those interventions to be banned globally:

Yep, there’s a reason nobody really took that report seriously when it came out. The truth is, there is still a place for involuntary treatment. Even in Trieste, which is praised everywhere including by the WHO, it is still used but only very sparingly.
