but do you generalize the idea of never treating people by force?
Is there an exception for psycoisis, halluciations, delutions, paranoia—which are very frequent concounders of suicidal ideation? Do you think, is it fine to treat people “by force” in thid cases?
My apologies if I was unclear; I am opposed to using force on mentally competent individuals. I would not consider those experiencing psychosis, delusions, and other severely impaired perceptions of reality as fully mentally competent. Yes, in these instances it is acceptable to treat others by force.
Personally, I’m conflicted. On one hand I have beeen involuntarily hospitalized (without need), which was bad and traumatic experience. On the other hand, I think there are cases where people would reject treatment (for depression, for example), not knowing what are the options and efficiency, and so hospitalization is be life-saving.

I see what you mean, thanks for clarifying.

We can do better in any case, this is for sure.
