I feel I can empathize with your last sentence there. At the psych hospital where I work, in the US, I care for many patients who have been involuntarily committed. Although I have deep ethical concerns about many practices in American psychiatry, and the American Mental Health Court system, people only become committed to the hospital's care after they have fallen through every safety net and crack in society, of which there are desperately few to begin with. This is the best we have, at the moment, but I see a large part of my life's work as the fight toward a better, more ethical, more compassionate system.
