There is a large, and growing, body of licensed mental health workers who recognize that involuntary hospitalizations are a form of state violence, and that there are ways to care for people in crisis without stripping them of their agency and security of personhood. Again, it's clear that when presented with feedback that your version of helping isn't helpful, you don't want to hear it. I encourage you to explore whether you enjoy the power imbalance. I'm a voice in the psychiatry survivors movement, and I'll continue to empower the people who have been harmed by involuntary treatment to raise their voices and hold clinicians accountable for the harm they have knowingly done.
