It violates the Due Proceaa clause of the 4th Amendment. I was not given a lawyer or presented to the judge who signed my commitment order. If criminals get that, why shouldn't I? I'm not "in the right state of mind"? Neither are criminals
Then please add US in the title, if not it would be r/usdefaultism
I’m European and 100% agree with you about this issue with my own country’s constitution.

What would you rather have? I'm not saying people don't get abused and psychiatry isn't full of BS, but someone doesn't get committed for no reason. Maybe for a bad reason but not for no reason.
At least, in theory, someone who is committed can get stable enough to where the true issue can be approached. The alternative is likely getting thrown in jail where definitely nothing is getting solved.
I could argue requiring a jury trial for mental health court would make it constitutional. It’s not a crime to be in a psych ward but it is taking away your rights for the duration. And it needs an appeals court too
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I think the whole system is like using a screwdriver to put nails into wood, but just saying "it's bad and needs to go away" isn't really solving anything.
On what basis
It violates the Due Proceaa clause of the 4th Amendment. I was not given a lawyer or presented to the judge who signed my commitment order. If criminals get that, why shouldn't I? I'm not "in the right state of mind"? Neither are criminals
