Reply to comment by applegeek101 in Is the fear of being involuntarily committed making people not seek mental health? by northhiker1

By NH law the person can easily be held for a week while getting before a judge.

You talk as if "a couple weeks of therapy at a behavioral health facility" is no big deal? Let it happen to you and see how you like it!

My point about a couple weeks is that people aren’t held for months or years at a time like what used to happen. It’s much shorter. Obviously a couple weeks is still more time then you would like but it’s not what it used to be. I apologize for the confusion
