You cannot force a legal adult to get help.

Stop judging people when you have NO idea what they are living through.[/quote]
Explain to me then how any adult is institutionalized then? When you do, you’ll understand what I’m saying.[/quote]

Do you mean how is someone admitted to a psychiatric hospital?   Usually the person goes to the local ER.   They determine if they need to be hospitalized or if day treatment would work.   If they need hospitalization someone goes to work trying to find one.  If one is found they are transferred there.  When discharged there is usually a day treatment program, medication and maybe a halfway home until the person is stable. [/quote]

The last 5 words of your last sentence reveal the huge problem in trying to treat mental illness.  Too often, the cycle starts over again because these individuals frequently need long-term care.[/quote]

I know. That’s why there are so many elderly homeless people.  Politicians talk a lot about mental illness when there’s a mass shooting but nothing gets funded, nothing changes and people suffer.[/quote]
