It's time to protect the welfare of people with mental illness by outlawing forced psychiatry in America. Involuntary commitment is a violation of civil liberties.
Couldn't the same thing be said about involuntary commitment? After all, when hospitals imprison people in psych wards who attempt to end their life, that is not only taking all choices away from another human being, but also doing so under the guise of "health care".

It seems like every single day I'm seeing more and more class action lawsuits being filed against psychiatric hospitals. I wonder why that is. For years people had dismissed my stories of abuse as just some kind of anomaly.

Psych holds allow for non-criminals to be disappeared by private citizens (hospital staff) rather than government officials (police officers) without due process. Strange how that works.

More and more reports of systemic abuse have been surfacing in the past several years, many lodged against major healthcare networks in New York, Illinois, and Florida. Proof that psychiatric abuse is still an epidemic in America.

The fact a verbal Miranda warning must be given to criminal suspects prior to questioning but NO similar protections are afforded to mentally ill people while being questioned during a psychiatric evaluation shows exactly whose rights we prioritize more in American society. #disability

AG Bondi is threatening to prosecute the State of Maine in order to save women's sports from a couple of trans kids. I wonder why the federal government can't invest that much effort into protecting the welfare of patients who are locked up and abused in psych wards each year?

If this is true, then I wonder how we explain all the instances of my rights being violated as a mentally ill patient where I was NOT afforded due process. Like my being strangled and dragged through the hallways of the ER or my being forcibly injected with an anti-psychotic. Am I not a person?

Involuntary psychiatry (legally known as "civil commitment") still locks up and abuses millions of citizens to this day.
In fact, it's the the longest-running government sanctioned system for internment in America. Certainly nobody can say they didn't know about that authoritarian abuse.

Suicide prevention is now considered DEI, at least according to the U.S. military. Never saw that one coming, did you?

Curious how people react like this is some completely unprecedented abuse of power. In all 50-states law-abiding citizens can be "disappeared" to a psych hospital, detained in a secure room with no right to leave, and sometimes even physically restrained under the pretense of "mental illness".

Isn't it ironic how we are supposed to refrain from the word "committed" when it pertains to the act of suicide, but when the State is systematically incarcerataing suicidal people against their will, we still call that legal procedure "commitment". #disability

There has been an ongoing shift away from the stigmatizing term "commit suicide" because it contributes to misconception that suicide is a crime.
Isn't it strange, however, that we still treat people who are contemplating suicide like criminals within the mental health system?

I recently completed a survey asking about my experiences at local hospitals. When it came up with the hospital where I was brutally attacked and also forcibly medicated, of course I gave all the lowest ratings possible.

The Japanese American internment camps were among the most egregious examples of abuse of power in government -- denying American citizens their Constitutional liberties based on nothing more than their minority status. Have we learned anything from history lessons like these?

The concept of "socialism" is so backwards in America.
Crisis services for the mentally ill are billed to the client, whereas prison services for convicted felons are billed to the State. Think about it: How does that make sense from a socialist perspective?

This is the Illinois criminal code that the JustAnswer attorney cited to establish that suicide is against the law in Illinois.
Except nothing in this statute refers to the act of suicide being illicit, only inducement to commit suicide.
