[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could have been my brother, OP. He’s mentally ill and on the street. My family will gladly pay for his treatment and life in a hospital but federal law says he can’t be held against his will. And yes, for that you can thank the Republicans and Ronald Reagan. He can’t be forced to stay on his meds and he can’t be forced to even stay in a shelter. We’ve tried paying for apartments for him but he won’t stay in them because he thinks the government is trying to poison him or we’re trying to suffocate him or any number of crazy ideas. Interestingly, when our grandmother developed Alzheimer’s we could get her into a locked memory center where she was safe and clean and fed. Why can’t we do this with mentally ill family members? [/quote] Such a good point! Perhaps because people with dementia don't come in and out of it, with the ability to organize and lobby when they are well.[/quote]
