[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't that the truth.  My sibling has been hospitalized many times involuntarily - and is smart enough to know that if he does not give permission for the hospital to speak to anyone (including family) then no one knows the real story of how messed up he is.  I have called, written letters - no release, no communication.  Most broken system I know and there is no way to get people like him the help they need.  3-7 day maximum and back to square one.[/quote]what country has a system that works for the mentally ill who don't want treatment?

He is smart enough to not want treatment,  then the only option that would be to FORCE him against his will and treat him involuntarily until he gets better. And with mental illness that you describe, the majority will only get a little Better.

So what you are talking about is forced institutionalization of people who are rational and capable of refusing.

The system is not "broken"  so much as your sibling is atypical and unable to function in a free society. If you have a solution that will WORK That does not involve the state treating him like a toddler at great expense,  I'm all ears.   [/quote]
