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:
Some people honestly think it’s better for a person with schizophrenia to be covered in their own feces and hurting themselves or others than to be on involuntary treatment. It’s easy for them to say that because they know they’ll never actually be in a situation where they have to pick between someone’s safety and their liberty.
Some people even suggest a jail for these types of patients. which is genuinely baffling
Apparently it's much more humane to have cops restraint and imprison someone who is psychotic than mental health staff. So unserious
They have never seen someone so floridly psychotic that they can't form a coherent sentence and they never will. They've never seen someone flying at their face with hate in their face determined to kill them.
Most of the pampered public will never see our jobs. I have zero interest in their comments.
