Probably not the best idea to have someone who suicidal let’s say drive a vehicle on the highway if you pose a threat to society or yourself you will be locked away lol

I’m meaning that the treatment you receive at psych facilities shouldn’t feel punitive. Mine was basically jail and the staff members uncaring even though I was as easy of a patient as it gets. Even tho I checked my own self in.

There’s not a lot for them to do to help you It’s not like you can just snap your fingers and make someone mentally sound again
